But this time, the company is on the right lane, cooperating with the authorities by freezing the USDT in question, allowing it to be returned to its rightful holder.<\/p>\n

Legal Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Tether has been the subject of questions over its supposed lack of transparency.

According to reports, Manhattan prosecutors are considering the company\u2019s possible participation in illicit activities. Also, the US Treasury Department was reportedly looking at possible sanctions on the company.<\/p>\n

Tether\u2019s Ardoino has vehemently denied these rumors and allegations, referring to these as \u201cnoise.\u201d Instead, the company is laser-focused on its business, including a recent investment in the Middle East that can expand its portfolio outside crypto.<\/p>\n
