One of the Crypto Twitter users asked the Binance CEO whether the OpenSea team was in collaboration with Binance to catch this bad actor, then CZ said that the Binance team did this work independently and also Binance always tries to work with law enforcement, which is not easy for the team everywhere.

Nothing to do with OpenSea. If we can identify the suspect, then we will try to help. Not always successful though. We don’t have enforcement power. We try to work with law enforcement everywhere, but not all of them take priority on this.
