This of course came out in the Paradise Papers after the Bitfinex folks pretended not to have a business relationship with Tether (while of course they shared the same parent entity). Bitfinex btw is also registered in the Virgin Islands. Both Tether and Bitfinex are owed by iFinex which is Hong Kong registered. And for good measure they 'bank' with Deltec bank in the Bahamas whose head, Jean Chalopin, is the creator of Inspector Gadget. Either way they are very definitely not outside the reach of the long arm of Uncle Sam. The wheels of justice grind slow but they grind exceedingly fine.
