An investigation has brought to light allegations that Persona, the Know Your Customer (KYC) provider for OpenAI, shares users' personal and cryptocurrency address data with U.S. federal agencies, including the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). According to NS3.AI, the shared data reportedly includes passport photos, selfies, and crypto wallet addresses, which are continuously monitored through Chainalysis. Despite these claims, Persona’s CEO has denied any current cooperation with federal agencies. However, numerous questions remain unanswered regarding the usage, privacy, and retention of this data.
