Two senior Mounties said they only asked banks to freeze the accounts of people and organizations who were actually at the so-called “Freedom Convoy” protests in Ottawa, and only after officers called most of the targeted protesters to warn them.
In total, RCMP Assistant Commissioner Michel Arcand said 257 accounts were frozen and the RCMP disclosed information on 57 entities to financial institutions.
The police force also identified and disclosed 170 Bitcoin wallet addresses linked to convoy crowdfunding campaigns worth a total of 20.7 Bitcoins, or roughly $1 million to $1.2 million, Arcand said.
