It had been a year and a half since Zac Prince’s last X post, a retweet announcing that lending platform BlockFi would pause operations amid the fallout from FTX’s collapse. 

Then, this past Monday, Prince returned to say he’d be leaving crypto altogether.

Prince is taking over as CEO of RE Cost Seg, a firm that offers potentially tax-saving cost segregation studies to real estate investors. It’s the first time Prince has worked in a real estate-focused firm, as he worked in lending in the years before he founded BlockFi , according to his LinkedIn.

And Blockworks previously reported on Backpack, a former FTX employee-led startup that’s created a popular wallet for Solana users.

Prince, whose firm entered bankruptcy due to FTX exposure, testified at Sam Bankman-Fried’s trial in November. Prosecutors questioned Prince on his decision to lend funds to Alameda Research, FTX’s sister firm.
