What to do
- Operators of crypto exchanges, DeFi platforms, RPC nodes and similar services should check their blocklists against the FBI's published list of TraderTraitor addresses.
- Block transactions derived from those addresses, not just direct transfers, as the FBI advises.
- Report any relevant information to a local FBI field office or the Internet Crime Complaint Center (ic3.gov).
