THORChain co-founder responds to FBI's call to block transactions: operators do not hold non-public information, and investigators can obtain data without a subpoena.

PANews November 1 news: In response to the FBI's call for THORNode operators, RPC node operators, and DeFi platforms to block transactions related to the Binance attacker, THORChain co-founder Chad Barraford responded that THORNode node operators do not possess any non-public information, and all relevant data is already publicly available in real time, which investigators can obtain without a subpoena, calling this the most ideal situation for the investigation.

Chad Barraford posted: "Whenever a large-scale hack occurs, the attacker's goal is usually to convert crypto assets into USD through centralized platforms (CEXs), because this is the most effective way to launder money. These centralized platforms hold the identity information of criminals and maintain contact with them, so they should cooperate with law enforcement agencies in their work."

Previous news: The FBI called on THORChain node operators, RPC node operators, instant exchange platforms, DeFi services, and blockchain analytics companies to block transactions with relevant addresses, and published hundreds of related ETH, BTC, and SOL addresses.
