  • The exchange, created for the trading of bankruptcy claims, was opened last year by Kyle Davies and Su Zhu. Their previous company, Three Arrows Capital, or 3AC, blew up in 2022, creating strains throughout the industry.

    More than $1 billion in assets belonging to Zhu, Davies and Davies' wife, Kelly Chen, were frozen by a British Virgin Islands court last year, while Zhu was arrested in Singapore for failing to help liquidate 3AC.
