I think that you might be referring to this one [1] from Bloomberg on Oct 7: Anyone Seen Tether’s Billions?
It generated plenty of discussion on HN [2].
I mention it here because I enjoyed the article and the style in which it was written, if you don't mind a little snide humour in discussing a potentially serious problem. (The article was also archived [3].)
Bloomberg commentator Matt Levine discussed the article in his Money Stuff column of the same day, Looking for Tether's Money [4]; it provides background and explanation of the mechanics of Tether, which I found to be educational. (That column was also archived [5].)
