This has nothing to do with Tether the author added it jut as a sauce, hilarious


Tether has similarly been caught in the past using the funds behind their supposedly "fully backed" tokens for highly speculative investment. So far it's just such a big scam that no one has been able to create a large enough run to topple it... so far.


Not really but it’s a long discussion. In any case in this sense the author coul also throw other kinds of conspiracies unrelated. True journalism ! Add your sauce


Yes, really.


Because you read it on Reddit right? Send any proof you have to the NY district attorney and SEC if you know inside info. Don’t be this internet guy.


Way ahead of you. ;)


> Stuart Hoegner, another former UB lawyer, holds a similar regulatory-compliance post with rival crypto firm Tether

Both Tether and FTX hired former white collar criminals from the same company to head their regulator compliance.


You justify this title because of some other company hired an unrelated lawyer that worked on a case with another lawyer 15 years ago? Seriously now lol


>You justify this title... Seriously now lol

What's with the snark? The title itself is technically accurate. That is "a link". There's nothing to justify. What you want to do is debate the strength of that link. That's fine, but it does nothing to change the accuracy of the title. A connection is a connection, like it or not.


There is no lin. Corporate lawyers work in hundreds of cases during their career and you cannot say that company X is guilty because Y guy worked N years before in a guilty company. That's just insanely wrong, factually.


The headline does not say "company Z is guilty because Y guy worked N years before in a guilty company". That is in the body of the article, and again, that is what you have an issue with.

Again - a link is a link, regardless of whether or not it means anything. It is a connection between two entities; nothing more, nothing less. They touch each other, and that is literally what is happening here. That link can be anything - something interesting, or something not - but it remains a link regardless.

In this case, your point is, "That is a link, but I find that link weak and don't believe it means anything".


Would you think if the dog of SBF ate the same food as the dog of a former Enron employ would be a link?
