The internet, being the hive of busybodies it is, has been abuzz with criticism. “Why didn’t Circle freeze those funds?” they cry. “They’ve got the tools, haven’t they?” Ah, but it’s not as simple as waving a wand and shouting “Freezio!” Circle’s Chief Strategy Officer, Dante Disparte, has taken to the quill (or rather, the blog) to set the record straight. Apparently, freezing USDC isn’t a matter of whim, but of law. Who knew? Not the critics, clearly, who’ve been frothing at the mouth like a troll with a toothache.
