If you so desperately need to trade tether for USD as a retail consumer then you can do it on Kraken.[1] A dozen other websites will let you trade it for other types of crypto, which is the entire reason for its existence. I find it amusing why people get so hung up on this. They aren't a retailer where you can pointlessly spend your USD to buy USDT and vice versa, the people who first offered a similar thing spent years in jail.[2] Not going to jail is a strong motivator to let others deal with consumers. They are a b2b service for exchanges to provide an dollar equivalent.
