Daniel Chu
Daniel Chu is an American businessman, and until October 2025, was the co-founder, majority owner and CEO of Tricolor, a sub-prime auto lender and used car retailer that collapsed amid fraud allegations in September 2025. In December 2025, prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York charged Chu, along with Tricolor's former COO, CFO, and a financial executive, with bank fraud and wire fraud, among other charges.[1] Prosecutors alleged that Chu directed a deputy to send him $6.25 million in bonuses in August as the company unraveled.[2]
Chu earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Washington University in St. Louis in 1985 and a master's in athletic administration from the University of Miami in 1988.[3]
He is married to Constance Chu. In 2022, they paid $17.5 million for a condo at the Four Seasons Surf Club in Surfside, Florida.[4] They were both members of the No Kid Hungry leadership council until Tricolor's bankruptcy. [5]
