Case Files
What Remna investigates. A question, an evidence boundary, and the next thing to examine. These are curated investigations, not live monitoring.
CASE 001 · FTX
Who could use customer funds?
METHOD
Separate the exchange interface from the permissions behind it. A custody claim needs controls that do not depend on accepting the custodian’s word.
WHAT THE RECORD SUPPORTS
The linked DOJ record establishes misuse of customer funds. It does not establish every visitor’s experience or every consequence.
OPEN QUESTION
Which independent checks would have exposed the gap earlier?
CASE 002 · LUNA / UST
What happens when a peg is stressed?
METHOD
Write down the stabilization assumptions before reading the outcome. A token’s intended reference value is not itself a source of resilience.
WHAT THE RECORD SUPPORTS
The SEC record describes the 2022 de-peg and later fraud verdict. It is evidence about this system, not proof that all stablecoins share its design.
OPEN QUESTION
Who absorbs the loss when the mechanism needs confidence that is no longer available?
CASE 003 · WEB3 OWNERSHIP
What exactly does ownership let someone do?
METHOD
Trace keys, interfaces, administrators and exit paths separately. Control over one layer may leave other dependencies untouched.
WHAT THE RECORD SUPPORTS
Protocol documentation describes mechanisms; criticism asks whether the surrounding claims exceed them. Neither replaces inspecting a particular deployment.
OPEN QUESTION
Can a holder verify, transfer and exit without a privileged party’s permission?
CASE 004 · PRIVACY
Which exposure is necessary?
METHOD
Distinguish accountability for an institution from visibility into an ordinary person’s life. Begin with the threat model.
WHAT THE RECORD SUPPORTS
Monero documentation describes a privacy-oriented system. The inherited XMR chapter supplies a change in perspective; it does not prove universal protection.
OPEN QUESTION
What can be verified without making every person permanently legible?
