So? The US dollar has funded terrorism in the Middle East for decades and we don't see the Feds becoming concerned about the way this currency works.

- cuteboy19 2y agowhereas the dollar is a decentralized currency that no one can fully control, tether is a centralized scam propped up by a handful of exchanges
- BLKNSLVR 2y agoTether can and has frozen certain funds due illegal activity (at the request of 'authorities') - so I've heard at least - so it would appear that there's precedent. The fact that the Feds are calling this out is... interesting if they're not also actually making any attempt to freeze these funds. Potential dog whistling.
- Loughla 2y agoI am 100% sure the United States Federal government has been very concerned about terrorism in the middle east. I am not certain your whataboutism works in this case.
- ipaddr 2y agoI would offer a different point of view. On US soil they seem to be more concerned about it. When someone blows themselves up the US doesn't get involved. When terrorist/freedom fighters attack governments with unfriendly countries the US might be funding that. The US cares about the overall goal of regional stability. They can use terrorism by funding groups with similar interests to advance their goals. When terrorism is used against them personally they care.
