OffshoreAlert vGlobal 2022

How to investigate crypto, find, freeze and seize assets - and have it financed by third-party litigation funders - will be tackled at next week's OffshoreAlert vGlobal virtual conference.

Russell Crumpler and Christopher Farmer, who run insolvency and restructuring firm Teneo in the BVI, will discuss some of the lessons they have learned so far in the relatively new area of liquidating a major global crypto enterprise and attempting to recover value for creditors, who appear to be owed more than $3.5 billion. They will be joined by lawyer Callum McNeil, head of Sterlington law firm's BVI practice, who represents a member of Three Arrows Capital's Creditors' Committee.
