‘An interesting experience’ — Su Zhou loved his 3 months in a Singapore prison.
Su Zhu, the co-founder of collapsed hedge fund Three Arrows Capital, said he had the “best sleep” of his life while serving a nearly three-month sentence in a Singapore jail, saying it was an “exciting experience” overall. “
In a Jan. 22 post on X, Zhu reflected on his time behind bars in an unreleased podcast with several edited clips, which featured 3AC co-founder Kyle Davis, Anonymous Ox's social media manager “Lucas,” and several other unknown guests. Edited clips of an unreleased podcast.

“Of course, no one wants to go to jail, but I think it's a really fun experience overall,” Zhu said. “All the things you were allowed to do in prison were still considered entertainment, right?”
“It's a really magical feeling, you feel a connection with your ancestors. That's how I was supposed to live.”
Explaining that Singaporean prisons have no beds, Zhou said that sleeping on the floor crushed his spine and allowed him to experience the “best sleep” of his life.
Crypto users on X reacted with mixed feelings to Zhu's apparent philosophical insights.
Lawrence Day, the creator of the Wildcat Protocol, offered a sarcastic commentary on Zhu's insights, describing Zhu as “finally online” and saying that only a prison can give someone the same sense of kinship as a walk on the beach.
Su Tzu was so online that he had to go to prison to experience the same “relationship with his ancestors” that the rest of us find walking barefoot on the beach in the cold wind.
Truly an incredible person

Zhou was arrested in Singapore in September last year and tried to leave the country after a local court sentenced him to four months in prison for failing to cooperate with investigations into 3AC.

3AC defaulted on a series of margin calls from its lenders on June 16, 2022. The resulting collapse cost its investors more than $3.5 billion, one of the largest hedge fund trading losses ever.
Shortly after the company collapsed, Zhou and Davis disappeared. Teneo, which is responsible for liquidating 3AC's assets, was forced to call out the pair via Twitter messages.
While their physical location remains a mystery, the pair have been active online, launching a new crypto exchange and bankruptcy claims platform, OpenExchange.
But the pair's troubles aren't over yet, as Teneo is looking to get $1.3 billion outright after Zhu and Davies took huge leverage with the venture capital fund after their transition fund was charged.
In September 2023, Singapore's central bank issued a nine-year ban on Davies and Zhu over allegations they breached the country's securities laws against 3AC.
