In the midst of 3AC’s bankruptcy process, community members repeatedly expressed their displeasure with the actions of the 3AC team on social media. On January 3rd, 3AC founder Su Zhu he was called out on Twitter when he accused the Digital Currency Group (DCG) of conspiring with the FTX exchange to attack Terra. Zhu’s efforts to summon DCG and FTX failed, and community members urged him to focus on his own transgressions.
February 10 members of the crypto community went after the newly started exchange backed by 3AC and Coinflex. Community members were outraged by the launch, with some vowing never to trade on the exchange and bullying those who do.
