Don't know. I've used tether a few times until that story came out. Don't know what to think so have stayed away.
The Crypto Lark interviewed the guy at Havven (stable coin). He told Lark that he believes Tether has the money. As he is hoping to be a competitor it seemed a chance to take a swipe at them but did not. Not sure if that was just being politically correct or what. Interesting interview regardless.
