Comment on Founders of bankrupt crypto hedge fund 3AC go missingparent

Comments

traditional hedgefund money is in a bank - a court can freeze their account, give it to their creditors, seize any new money that goes in it, etc.

Crypto hedge-funds money is a cold-wallet protected by a 12 words phrase (some anyway - if they are smart). No one can really get to them.

(yes - the founder can go to jail. But, funds could stay locked forever)

Given a choice between life in jail or turning over the coins, I know what I would do.

Crypto hedge-funds money is a cold-wallet

Is this the case here, specifically? (I assume so, just curious)
