Promote with Leviathan News$344M of Tron USDT becoming a creditor target means the freeze button is no longer just OFAC plumbing; it can turn issuers into escrow agents for private litigants. The Arbitrum/Kelp mess already showed the trap: 30,766 ETH frozen to help rsETH victims got dragged into $877M DPRK judgment enforcement before DeFi United could route recovery. If Gerstein Harrow gets traction against Tether, every blacklistable balance at USDT/USDC scale becomes legal bounty inventory, and protocols may think twice before touching exploit funds.
