> **Visual Note:** A Discord screenshot shows a user named "jack" (verified Discord staff) exchanging messages with "Darth," who is attempting to swap XRP for BTC on THORChain. The thread is humorously accompanied by an image of Kim Jong-un, suggesting the "Darth" account is actually a North Korean state hacker seeking support for a stolen transaction (ID ending in 377F69) on thorchain.net/tx/.

> **Visual Note:** A tweet from @THORChain (@THORChain) clarifies that its network halt is an emergency security mechanism, not a selective fund freeze, noting that attackers in a May 2026 $10.7M exploit were never blacklisted from swapping. The embedded quote from @mperklin argues that "all tools in existence are inherently neutral by nature," supporting THORChain's permissionless stance. This directly addresses the accompanying post's critique that THORChain uses emergency powers selectively—protecting its own protocol while remaining permissionless for others' stolen funds, despite claiming a single neutral system.  

> 
> ""designed to protect the protocol."

yup. that's it right there.
@THORChain
  at risk? emergency powers.
someone else's stolen funds? permissionless.

same system. different beneficiaries."
