yea well the issue gets more complicated when you throw bitfinex into the mix, and the accusations pointed towards their business practices as an exchange. Its funny, since they own both, it would be beter to just create a bitfinex coin pegged to the dollar, could have avoided so much heat. But this issue is nothing new, Tether has been in the crosshairs of a lot of regulators as well as investors pushing for more transparency. I removed my portfolio from bitfinex and I dont trade with tether pairs. I advise the same to you.
