Tether got fined a tiny amount, much less than any tier 1 bank pays in a year. And one of their investors was once in a movie. Who gives a shit?

Meanwhile they have a brilliant business model for the current market: take dollar deposits, invest them and keep the interest, then return them with no interest or adjustment for inflation. Who wouldn't like a 4% profit on $86bn?

Good for them.



Clearly you didn’t read the actual evidence in the indictment. They had (and likely still don’t have) any actual banking infrastructure. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

Very convenient though!
