πŸš€ Debate Over Asgardex Fees Sparks Controversy

According to Foresight News, a dispute has arisen between blockchain investigator ZachXBT and THORChain developer JP regarding the handling of fees by Asgardex. The central issue is whether Asgardex should return $900,000 obtained from laundering activities linked to a Bybit hack. ZachXBT argues that failure to return the funds constitutes a crime, while JP contends that open-source wallet developers focus on self-custody wallet development and will not return funds unless legally required. JP also questions why Ethereum and Bitcoin nodes are not asked to return transaction fees.

Additionally, ZachXBT highlighted that last year, a project associated with JP failed to conduct due diligence, mistakenly hiring a North Korean IT worker as a developer. This was brought to JP's attention after several months, but it was never publicly disclosed.

According to Foresight News, Flow has announced the deployment of a protocol fix to address a recent exploit. Node operators are coordinating the upgrade to revert the network to a checkpoint prior to the attack, removing unauthorized transactions from the ledger.

Users are advised to resubmit transactions made during the network interruption from December 27, 15:25 to December 27, 21:30 UTC+8 once the network is restored. The foundation will confirm these transactions upon the network's official relaunch.
