Shenchao TechFlow news: On November 1, THORChain co-founder Chad Barraford said in an X post that THORNode operators do not hold any non-public information, all relevant data are published in real time, and investigators can obtain them without a subpoena, calling this the ideal scenario for the investigation.

Previously, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) called on relevant entities, including THORSwap, RPC node operators, DeFi platforms and other virtual asset service providers, to block transactions involving funds stolen from Binance and associated addresses to curb further laundering of stolen assets by North Korean hackers.
