Summary

Two days after North Korea's $6.3 billion Binance hack, an Ethereum reorganization triggered THORChain's solvency checker. In response, three node votes halted signing on Ethereum and nine other chains. The FBI, Secret Service and IRS‑CI later named THOR node operators in a request to block laundered funds. Guests Jonty (founder of Pangolin Intelligence) and Pablo Sabbatella (founder of Opsek) explained that outsiders cannot become THORChain node operators without approval, raising questions about the network's decentralization.
