I doubt that. It's not possible to track which of the depositors withdrew. That's the whole point of the smart contract.

- kube-system 4y agoWithin the realm of the blockchain, yes. But regulators do much of their work in meatspace. Smart contacts won’t protect you from information gathered elsewhere.
- olalonde 4y agoSo you believe that there are certain people that the OFAC wants to arrest but can't, because those people haven't committed a crime / aren't criminals. So they make up a law that will basically force people to chose between losing their life savings or breaking the law. Some people will rightfully ignore the law and recover their money. The OFAC can now arrest those people... I mean it's not impossible but I find it hard to believe that the OFAC would be that morally bankrupt.
- kube-system 4y agoI didn’t say any of that. I have no clue what they’re doing. The simple answer is that law enforcement rarely moves to prosecute with one piece of evidence, they often have multiple pieces. And they often use use one lead to find others who are involved. And if they can make it more difficult for people to continue crime, they will. There are often many factors at play.
