Previously, in November 2022, Galois Capital revealed that half of its fund, around $40 million, was stuck in FTX when it collapsed. Kevin Zhou, the co-founder of the company, in a letter, said, “we will work tirelessly to maximize our chances of recovering stuck capital by any means.”
Currently, addressing the unfavorable conditions of the company, Zhou conveyed apologies, stating:
Given the severity of the FTX situation, we do not think it is tenable to continue operating the fund both financially and culturally. Once again I’m terribly sorry about the current situation we find ourselves in.
Further, in the letter, Zhou mentioned that 90% of the remaining money, which is not trapped in FTX would soon reach Galois’ customers, who had been affected by the FTX collapse. Meanwhile, 10% of the funds would be held back temporarily to finalize after the discussions with the administrators and auditor.
The co-founder also stated that it is more convenient to sell the fund rather than being engaged in long legal procedures, which could be prolonged for even a decade.
