It filed for bankruptcy in the British Virgin Islands in late June. The Monetary Authority of Singapore said in a statement it had issued orders, which, effective from Sept 13, prohibit 3AC founder Zhu Su and Kyle Livingston Davies from performing any regulated activity and from managing any capital market services firms in Singapore.
"Senior management of fund managers are required to implement robust risk management measures to protect the interest of investors," Loo Siew Yee, MAS Assistant Managing Director said.Representatives for Zhu and Davies could not immediately be reached for comment.
