I made a lot of big mistakes this year.
But this wasn't one of them. There's no evidence, because it didn't happen. Please, please, focus on your own house. https://t.co/tlcQu9zFdf

It was a response to a tweet from Su Zhu co-founder of the now-defunct crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital, who said he’d been asked why he and TerraForm Labs co-founder Do Kwon have become so vocal since FTX’s collapse at the beginning of November.
When it was found out that the firm’s sister company, Alameda Research, had billions of worthless FTX Token (FTT) on its balance sheet, the company started to lose money. There was a last-ditch effort to get Binance to buy the cryptocurrency exchange, but it failed when Binance said it couldn’t help FTX. Two days after that, FTX filed for bankruptcy.
Now, former competitors like Three Arrows Capital, which is also known as 3AC, are saying that the SBF founder of FTX was to blame for their own failures.

“Since my July interview with Bloomberg, I have been sure that we were being chased. “Read it again,” Zhu wrote. “It’s just the truth, but at the time, my own advisors didn’t want me to say it because they thought it would be “bad optics” and be seen as “deflecting.”
He has always said that he thought other big players in the crypto market were “hunting” the firm’s TerraUSD position, which means they were trying to sell it. In May, the algorithmic stablecoin known as UST lost its one-to-one link with the U.S. dollar. When it went to zero, $40 billion worth of value was lost.
Zhu didn’t say in July that he thought Bankman-Fried SBF was to blame for Terra’s collapse, which cost 3AC $200 million on UST, but he’s said it many times since FTX filed for bankruptcy.
Zhu isn’t the only one who thinks there are reasons to think Bankman-Fried may have manipulated markets.
