Tether is alleged to have been far more deeply and willingly involved than just "collateral damage." Per the AG's statement: "Those transactions – which also have not been disclosed to investors – treat Tether’s cash reserves as Bitfinex’s corporate slush fund, and are being used to hide Bitfinex’s massive, undisclosed losses and inability to handle customer withdrawals."

The only reason to swap funds between those accounts would be if the parties knew that there was more risk than normal cash reserves for the money that Tether would end up having - and this was deemed by Tether operators to be an acceptable risk not worth disclosing. Not a shining beacon of cleanliness here.
