In a recent report by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), it was alleged that Tether is currently under federal investigation for potential violations related to sanctions and anti-money laundering (AML) regulations in the US.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The inquiry, <\/span>reportedly <\/span><\/a>led by prosecutors from the Manhattan US Attorney\u2019s Office, is said to focus on whether Tether’s stablecoin, USDT, has been used by third parties to finance illegal activities such as drug trafficking, terrorism, and hacking, or to launder the proceeds from these activities.<\/span><\/p>\n In response to these serious allegations, Tether has issued a <\/span>statement <\/span><\/a>strongly criticizing the WSJ’s reporting. The company called the article “wildly irresponsible,” asserting that it is inappropriate for the WSJ to publish such definitive claims without verified sources or corroboration from authorities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The stablecoin issuer also emphasized that it has no knowledge of any ongoing investigations, characterizing the report as based on “pure rank speculation.”<\/span><\/p>\nTether CEO Denies Investigation Claims<\/span><\/h2>\n
