OKX CEO Issues Warning on Interactions with Sanctioned Platforms

Amidst the recent surge in the use of Tornado Cash by hackers, OKX CEO Star has issued a stern warning to the platform's users. In a recent tweet, Star made it clear that anyone interacting with sanctioned platforms such as Garantex and Tornado Cash risks having their accounts closed. This applies not only to those depositing funds from these entities but also to users withdrawing funds from OKX to these platforms.

The announcement follows a noticeable increase in the movement of hacked funds to Tornado Cash, as seen in recent incidents involving the Nomad Bridge, Unizen, and crypto exchange Rain. In response to a query from an X user about Vitalik Buterin’s public interaction with Tornado Cash, Star emphasized that no one is exempt from this rule. Any interaction involving deposits or withdrawals between OKX and Tornado Cash will result in account liquidation.
