Su Zhu spent 3 months in jail

Contrary to what one might expect, Zhu described his time behind bars as a "really enjoyable experience" and suggested that everyone should consider spending time inside a cell at least once in their lives. He claimed that he had the ''best sleep'' of his life while serving the sentence in a Singaporean prison.

''Obviously, no one wants to go to prison but I think that it's a really enjoyable experience overall. Not to the point of, like, highly recommending it per se. But I would say that it's something that if everyone got to experience once, I think it's good for you.¡±

He further said that he had the best sleep of his life in prison and equated staying inside a jail to how his ancestors lived, in times gone by. "I had the best sleep of my life in prison. You feel a kinship with your ancestors. Because it¡¯s like, this is how I was supposed to live," he said.

Su explains why he enjoyed jail time

"But because you have no internet time, you have no alcohol, no caffeine, or whatever, you just going to fall asleep immediately and then you wake up right when the light comes on," he added.

Zhu also mentioned that during his time in prison, he managed to catch up on reading, engage in plenty of exercise, and received three daily meals along with servings of fruits in between.

''And then the sleep is amazing because they'll turn the light off at 9.30 pm and the light comes back on at 5.30 am. But because you have no internet time, you have no alcohol, no caffeine (or) whatever, you're just going to fall asleep immediately,'' Zhu continued. Since there was no bed provided in prison and he had to sleep on the floor, he said "It's the same as...a Japanese tatami mat" and it's "really good for decompressing your...spine.''

Arrested in September of last year

Zhu faced arrest in Singapore in September of the last year due to non-compliance with a liquidation order when his company couldn't meet margin calls. Initially sentenced to four months in prison, he was later released in December.

Following his release, Zhu has been sharing AI-generated images of buffalo and oxen on X (formerly Twitter) to promote a new crypto venture called Ox.Fun. The collapse of Three Arrows Capital occurred in July 2022 after defaulting on a $667 million loan from Voyager Digital.
