THORChain co-founder: Node operators are simply public information, investigation does not require a subpoena

THORChain co-founder Chad Barraford stated that the information held by THORNode operators is publicly available and can be accessed in real-time, so law enforcement does not need to obtain relevant information through subpoenas. He believes this is the ideal situation for investigations.

Previously, the FBI, United States Secret Service (USSS), and the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS-CI) called on THORNode operators, RPC node operators, instant exchange platforms, and DeFi service providers to intercept transactions related to North Korean TraderTraitor attackers and the funds flowing from these addresses. This request involves the theft of over $6 billion in assets from Binance.
