@bitfinex @Tether_to @NewYorkStateAG “Last week, we sued to shut down Coinseed for its fraudulent conduct. This week, we’re taking action to end Bitfinex and Tether’s illegal activities in New York. “ Your activity is illegal! What do you lie?

@c4chaos @el33th4xor This appears to be an historical reference rather than a current one. We know that Bitfinex had liquidity issues in 2018, and had to get a dodgy loan to cover themselves.

@JTheretohelp1 Goodby I’m leaving the space for good after this year. Tether announced that Tether and Bitfinex reached settlement with New York Attorney General’s Office. Tether admitted no wrongdoing and has agreed to pay $18.5M to resolve the issue.

@NewYorkStateAG @bitfinex @Tether_to I think it was the right thing to settle. Nobody lost any money. However if you would have closed them down, millions of relatively poor people around the world would have seen their crypto savings wiped out in a flash. I would not want to have that kind of blood on my hands.

public reports of liquidity problems by misleading the market and its own clients. On October 7, 2018, Bitfinex claimed to “not entirely understand the arguments that purport to show us insolvent,” when, for months, its executives had been pleading with Crypto Capital to return

@Tether_to @bitfinex @NewYorkStateAG we see the law of the universe, forever rising, now starting to go down long term, whales starting to take profits.Winter of cryptocurrencies has arrived. Everyone get out of here before it's too late!

2/ "49. At no time did Bitfinex or Tether disclose to the market that Tether had transferred at least $625 million to Bitfinex, or that Bitfinex had experienced critical liquidity issues because of loss of approximately $850 million to Crypto Capital." Tether was nearly bankrupt

@TheOnlineMarke3 @ghostroboBH @SantiagoAuFund This is a problem where Bitfinex and Tether are gaining a dominant position in the stablecoin market and sure it's reprehensible that they have been unbacked at times competing in the stablecoin space, but it's not an issue with BTC. It has zero to do with BTC.

Andrew M. Bailey (@resistancemoney) reported
@Bitfinexed If I'm reading this correctly, the issue isn't whether the 442 million tethers were backed. They were: by 382 million USD in a Bitfinex account and by 61 million USD at Bank of Montreal. Is that wrong? The key phrase in the second highlighted paragraph is "held by Tether".

Jay Filmer (@UncleJaysus) reported
@Bit_Reckless @soleil_dusoir9 Shut down? That's not what this was about. This is about New York. And Tether/Bitfinex are now BANNED from trading in NY and with NY customers. This is local scale. This is how these things start (but now the precedent has been set, it will widen as more action is taken).

@NewYorkStateAG @bitfinex @Tether_to Letting them continue to perpetuate the systematic risk and find safety in "cash equivalents", doesn't solve problem. Government fails again.

The traditional markets maybe monitored and regulated, but the crypto markets are heavily scrutinized. Not by governments, by people. People like you and me. People who write about it, who blow the whistle. Be it tether, quadriga, bitfinex or Binance. Every issue is public.

Mr.Malm (@AdonMalm) reported
@FOMO_No_Mo @wmiddelkoop I hope you are right but not sure that it is over, there looks to be plenty of shady business going on between Tether, Bitfinex & Deltec. Keep an eye on what this Italian Finance journalist is looking into @nicolaborzi Tethers business is now shut down in NY they can go federal.

SolidusMax (@SolidusMax) reported
It's a bad situation b/c Tether has to keep records of everything to validate the settlement. That's means they can't go account hopping or hide anything if there's trouble. Also that Tether-Bitfinex are now Deltec's problem as the only half-*** bank willing to business with them
