The company statement read:
“We would like to make it clear that VVD [NFT collector pseudonym Vincent Van Do] has collaborated with JLs [Joint Liquidators] in an effort to protect the value of these assets for the benefit of all relevant stakeholders and has endeavored to ensure that the Starry Night Portfolio assets will not be disposed of improperly, or without sanction from a British Virgin Islands court if necessary.”
VVD has also offered to help with the eventual sale of 3AC NFTs and will likely oversee the disposal of assets with the company, Teneo said.
In 2021, 3AC founders Su Zhu, Kyle Davies, and pseudonymous NFT collector Vincent Van Dao founded Stary Night Capital, a token-focused non-fungible fund initially intended to invest exclusively in “the most sought-after funds.” NFTs.
