TechFlow reported on November 2 that, in response to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) call to intercept transactions related to Binance's stolen assets, all information held by THORNode operators is public and available in real time, allowing investigators to obtain it without a subpoena.

Barraford made the above response at 08:02 Beijing Time on November 1. His statement concerned information access and did not commit to intercepting the relevant addresses. The FBI previously attributed the theft of over $6 billion in Binance assets to the North Korean hacking group TraderTraitor and called on THORNode operators and others to intercept transactions involving listed addresses or originating from those addresses.
