We study chaotic dynamics in two-dimensional conformal field theory through out-of-time-order thermal correlators of the form ⟨W(t)VW(t)V⟩. We reproduce holographic calculations similar to those of Shenker and Stanford, by studying the large c Virasoro identity conformal block. The contribution of this block to the above correlation function begins to decrease exponentially after a delay of ~t*-(β/2π)logβ²EwEᵥ, where t* is the fast scrambling time (β/2π)logc and Ew,Eᵥ are the energy scales of the W,V operators.
