THORChain refuses to block Bitget-linked addresses despite pausing itself for a $10.7 million hack

THORChain turned down Bitget's request to block addresses tied to a suspected North Korean theft, though it paused its own chain over a $10.7 million hack in May. That pause showed its operators move fast when the loss is theirs. Exchanges downstream are left to screen what THORChain lets through.
