Bitget asks THORChain to deny service to addresses tied to $387.5M breach

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen has gone public with the exchanges request for THORChain to halt transactions linked to the exploit that drained about $387.5 million from its wallets. 　　As Cryptopolitan reported, Circle and Tether already intervened, stopping nearly $318,000 in stablecoin movement related to the hack on Friday, September 25. However, the request to the no-KYC THORChain DEX is not expected to be as straightforward.　　THORChain offers fast and permissionless native cross-chain swaps with no know-your-customer checks for legitimate users. However, that same feature makes it popular among bad actors looking to move funds out of recovery range.　　Notably, THORChain did not freeze transactions after its own $10.7 million vault exploit earlier this year.　　Bitget‘s CEO wants THORChain to stop exploiters’ fund movement　　The Bitget executive warned the exchange that “the industry is watching” as it challenged it not to use “a design principle” such as protocol neutrality or decentralization to absolve itself of any responsibility while “known stolen funds” moved through its platform.　　How THORChain can intervene is not as straightforward as earlier Cryptopolitan reporting has noted that THORChain is more synonymous with code than an actual company.　　The DEX runs on 95 globally distributed nodes with no admin key and no controlling multisig, according

Samourai Wallet co-founder faces transfer after 30-day jail ordeal

Samourai Wallet co-founder Keonne Rodriguez faces another prison transfer after the drug treatment program at FCI McKean was deactivated, he said Wednesday.　　Rodriguez said on X that McKeans warden told program participants that Rodriguez and 70 others would be moved to facilities where treatment remains available. He entered the program because completing it could reduce his sentence by up to a year.　　In a letter published by The Rage, Rodriguez called his earlier journey from FPC Morgantown to McKean the “absolute worst 30 days” of his life. He said his request to make the roughly four-hour trip himself was denied.　　Rodriguez is serving a five-year sentence after pleading guilty to conspiring to operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business. The Justice Department said he and Samourai co-founder William Lonergan Hill transmitted more than $237 million in criminal proceeds through the service.　　A four-hour drive became 30 days in transit　　Rodriguez said inmates leaving Morgantown were placed in ankle shackles and handcuffs attached to waist chains before being taken by bus to an airport and flown to the Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City.　　Related: Samourai Wallet co-founder spends Christmas Eve recounting first day in prison　　At the facility, Rodriguez said he was held with prisoners from different security classifications

Kalshi loses appeal, setting up potential Supreme Court case

Prediction market Kalshi lost on appeal when a court ruled that Ohio and Tennessee can regulate sports-event contracts under their state gambling laws.　　The 6th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Kalshi on Friday when a three-judge panel sided unanimously with Ohio and Tennessee, finding that the prediction market failed to demonstrate its sports-event contracts are “swaps” under the jurisdiction of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).　　The ruling followed a similar finding from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals last month, which broke from an April decision by the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals allowing the company to do business in New Jersey as its appeal process proceeds.　　The April ruling said Kalshi was likely to succeed with its argument that federal law preempts New Jerseys regulations, all of which has set up a potential Supreme Court case.　　Cointelegraph reported on Wednesday that a group of state lawmakers had filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court, urging it to weigh in on the case between Kalshi and state gaming authorities, potentially resolving whether state authorities or federal agencies have jurisdiction over prediction market companies.
