Danny Yuan said that their team detected that $1 million was missing from their company’s funds at Three Arrows Capital (3AC).
Danny Yuan, the CEO of trading firm 8 Blocks Capital, called out to platforms that are holding funds owned by 3AC to freeze the assets, as rumors of 3AC’s insolvency stay afloat.
In a Twitter thread, Yuan explained their company’s involvement with 3AC, noting that they are paying the company to use the trading accounts that they own. The agreement included the ability to withdraw funds at any given time. He explained that:
11) What we learned is that they were leveraged long everywhere and were getting margin-called. Instead of answering the margin calls, they ghosted everyone. The platforms had no choice but to liquidate their positions, causing the markets to further dump.

Yuan also highlighted that 3AC still has many assets held on various platforms, which he did not name. Because of this, Yuan publicly asked those platforms to freeze the funds of 3AC so that the firm can pay back its debts after legal proceedings in the future.
