Jho Low gave a few hundred million to charity too after stealing a few billion from the Malaysian government. It's easy to be charitable if it's not your money you're giving! But I guess you're right that this is a dif

That's an interesting observation. There's gotta be a pretty limited upper bound on redemptions because I know there is rather extensive KYC involved which 99% of Tether holders couldn't pass, high minimums, and country rest
