THORChain Co-founder responds FBI Calls for transaction blocking: Operators do not hold non-public information, and investigators can obtain data without a subpoena
PANews November 1 reported that, regarding the United States FBI call to THORNode operators,RPC node operators and DeFi platforms to block transactions related to the Binance attackers,THORChain co-founder Chad Barraford responded that THORNode node operators do not possess any non-public information, and all relevant data is publicly available in real time, so investigators do not need to obtain it through a subpoena, calling this the ideal situation for an investigation. Earlier reports said that FBI called on THORChain node operators,RPC node operators, instant-exchange platforms,DeFi services and blockchain analytics companies, among others, to block transactions with related addresses, and published hundreds of related ETH、BTC and SOL addresses.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
FBI The request was for multiple types of nodes and platforms to prevent transactions with the relevant addresses. Chad Barraford's response focused on:THORNode operators do not have additional non-public information, and investigators can directly view data that has already been made public.
Why it matters to readers
The incident involves a transaction-blocking request made by law enforcement agencies, as well as whether blockchain-related data is publicly accessible, but the evidence does not indicate whether the relevant operators or platforms have taken action.
Beginners should distinguish between “FBI calling for transaction blocking” and “platforms have already blocked transactions”; the current evidence clearly establishes only the former and records the THORChain co-founder's response.
Risks and unknowns
The evidence does not provide the FBI original announcement, so the specific implementation requirements and complete address list cannot be verified.
It is not yet clear whether THORNode、RPC nodes, instant-exchange platforms or DeFi services have already blocked the relevant transactions.
The evidence does not indicate whether the relevant transactions can still be completed through these services.
“All relevant data is publicly available in real time” is Chad Barraford's claim; the evidence provides no independent verification.
