Surprise NFT Purchase by Bankrupt Hedge Fund

破产对冲基金意外购买 NFT

In a peculiar turn of events, a wallet associated with bankrupt crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC) has successfully purchased a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) despite the firm's ongoing liquidation proceedings.

在一个奇怪的事件中，与破产的加密对冲基金三箭资本（3AC）相关的钱包成功购买了不可替代代币（NFT），尽管该公司正在进行清算程序。

Overlooked Bid from Years Past

过去几年被忽视的投标

On August 21, 2021, before 3AC filed for bankruptcy, its wallet placed a bid of 20 ETH (approximately $58,800 at the time) for the "Neon Village" NFT from the "Ninja Village" collection by artist SeerLight on the SuperRare NFT marketplace.

2021 年 8 月 21 日，在 3AC 申请破产之前，其钱包在 SuperRare NFT 市场上以 20 ETH（当时约合 58,800 美元）的价格竞购艺术家 SeerLight 的“Ninja Village”系列中的“Neon Village”NFT。

Acceptance and Confirmation

接受与确认

On Friday morning, the bid was accepted by the NFT's previous owner, "@anonymoux," who had initially purchased it for 100 ETH (approximately $348,700 at the time) in October 2021. This transaction was confirmed on the Ethereum blockchain explorer Etherscan.

周五早上，该出价被 NFT 的前所有者“@anonymoux”接受，他最初于 2021 年 10 月以 100 ETH（当时约合 348,700 美元）购买了该 NFT。这笔交易在以太坊区块链浏览器 Etherscan 上得到了确认。

Liquidators Missed the Bid

清算人错过了投标

Teneo, the company handling the liquidation of 3AC's estate, reportedly missed the bid, allowing it to be accepted despite the firm's bankruptcy status.

据报道，负责 3AC 财产清算的公司 Teneo 未能参与竞标，尽管该公司已处于破产状态，但竞标仍被接受。

Escrowed ETH

托管以太币

"3AC made an offer on SuperRare, and the ETH was placed in escrow within the smart contract," explained Jean-Michel Pailhon, CIO of Grail Capital and a former Ledger executive. "Therefore, the funds were not visible as retrievable assets during the liquidation process."

Grail Capital 首席信息官、Ledger 前高管 Jean-Michel Pailhon 解释道：“3AC 对 SuperRare 提出了要约，并且 ETH 被托管在智能合约中。” “因此，在清算过程中，这些资金并不作为可收回资产可见。”

Previous NFT Sale

之前的 NFT 销售

In March 2023, Mechanism Capital co-founder Andrew Kang acquired the original Pepe the Frog NFT from the 3AC estate for an undisclosed amount.

2023 年 3 月，Mechanism Capital 联合创始人 Andrew Kang 从 3AC 遗产处收购了原始 Pepe the Frog NFT，收购金额未公开。

3AC Implosion

3AC内爆

3AC, a once-prominent crypto hedge fund managing assets worth over $3 billion, filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy in July 2022 due to liquidity issues following the collapse of the Terra ecosystem.

3AC 是一家曾经著名的加密对冲基金，管理着价值超过 30 亿美元的资产，由于 Terra 生态系统崩溃后出现流动性问题，该基金于 2022 年 7 月根据美国破产法第 15 章申请破产。

Aftermath

后果

3AC's co-founders, Kyle Davies and Su Zhu, subsequently launched Open Exchange (OPNX), a crypto derivatives and claims trading platform. However, the platform closed down in February 2023.

3AC 的联合创始人 Kyle Davies 和 Su Zhu 随后推出了加密衍生品和债权交易平台 Open Exchange (OPNX)。然而，该平台于 2023 年 2 月关闭。

Zhu was arrested in Singapore but was released in December. Davies remains outside of Singapore to avoid potential imprisonment.

朱在新加坡被捕，但于十二月被释放。戴维斯仍在新加坡境外，以避免可能入狱。
