The breach of SFR regulations raised concerns about transparency within the organization.In a statement, Loo Siew Yee, MAS Assistant Managing Director, emphasized the importance of robust risk management that must be put in place by senior management of fund managers. She stated:&nbsp;"Senior management of fund managers are required to implement robust risk management measures to protect the interest of investors. MAS takes a serious view of Mr. Zhu&rsquo;s and Mr. Davies&rsquo; flagrant disregard of MAS&rsquo; regulatory requirements and dereliction of their directors&rsquo; duties."As directors of 3AC, Zhu Su and Kyle Livingston Davies were primarily responsible for ensuring the firm's compliance with regulatory requirements under the SFA and SFR.&nbsp;However, the MAS investigation found that they failed in their duties and were directly responsible for 3AC's regulatory breaches.As&nbsp; reported earlier, Su Zhu and Kyle Davies completed a <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/three-arrows-capital-founders-shake-up-crypto-industry-with-new-crypto-exchange-after-acquiring-coinflex-assets-heres-what-you-need-know.htm">funding round for their new OPNX exchange</a> earlier this year. Dubai&rsquo;s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/dubai-fines-co-founders-of-failed-three-arrows-capital-over-new-exchange-opnx.htm">slapped a massive $2.7 million</a> fined against their new exchange, which the duo failed to pay.&nbsp;
