THORChain Co-founder Responds to FBI Interception Request: Node Operators Can Cooperate with Investigations Without Subpoenas

On November 1, THORChain co-founder Chad Barraford stated that information held by THORNode operators is publicly available and accessible in real time, eliminating the need for law enforcement to obtain it via subpoenas. He noted this is the ideal scenario for investigations.

Previously, the FBI, U.S. Secret Service (USSS), and IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) urged THORNode operators, RPC node operators, instant exchange platforms, and DeFi service providers to intercept transactions involving addresses linked to North Korean TraderTraitor attackers, as well as fund flows derived from these addresses. The request pertains to the theft of over $6 billion in assets from Binance.
