>>This is the substantiated fraud outlined in the settlement.
That there is evidence of fraud does not justify making an unsubstantiated allegation that the tether was unbacked. No reasonable reading of "unbacked" would find it consistent with the tether being backed by USD-denominated commercial paper as opposed to USD.
I am not here to defend Tether, just careless language used when criticizing a party.
>>Finally re: commercial paper, I haven't seen a shred of evidence they own a single scrap of it.
That's an entirely fair statement. Like I said, I am not here to defend Tether. If anything, being careless with criticisms undermines the credibility of critics, and makes it harder for their salient arguments to be heard. So if you do have a good case against Tether, I'd suggest sticking only to the facts so that the case gets a fair shake.
- arcticbull 5y agoFor the record I do see what you're saying about my choice of language. I personally see my reading in line with that of CNBC and in line with the wording in the settlement - although I can certainly choose to hold myself to a higher or at the very least a more conservative standard. Thanks for keeping the conversation honest and grounded :) and thanks for clarifying your position.
