Tether Interview (spoiler: they ignored us)

With the recent media controversy surrounding Tether we reached out to the team with 13 interview questions at the start of December, heres what they had to say ( more precisely didn’t say):

• The UK government along with banks have been very strict and often reluctant to provide any banking solution to crypto related businesses, often forcing them to look to places like Poland. How do you plan to tackle this with the GBP Tether plans?

Failed to respond.

• Do you have a approximate date for when the JPY and GBP Tether currencies will be available?

Failed to respond.

• Matthew Leising in a recent Bloomberg article was concerned about whether the exact amount of Tether ration exists 1-1 dollars within a bank?

Failed to respond.

• Oguz Serdar claims Tether will not allow him to exchange his $1 million worth of Tether for US dollars and that Tether refused to disclose the bank Tether held the funds in. To avoid confusion how do you respond to this as various sources are claiming that Tether have issued more tokens than it has assets for, which of course is a great concern for those wanting to start using Tether.

Failed to respond.

• People are very concerned about the link between Bitfinex and Tether, more specifically Phil Potter’s/ Giancarlo Devasini role as per the connection found in the Paradise Paper’s leak. Can you comment on this?

Failed to respond.

• Bitfinex has hired a law firm to counter claims which you say are untrue regarding the Bitfinex/ Tether connection. Can you elaborate on this?
  Is it possible/ likely that you will be more open/ provide evidence of where funds are held to calm investor concerns?

Failed to respond.

• When will the full audit of Tether’s assets be available to the public?
  Will you be launching on any exchanges in the future?

Failed to respond.

• Your recent audit by Friedman LLP has been discredited by many. What have you learnt from this and how to you plan to overcome the naysayers?
  What are Tether’s plans for 2018?

Failed to respond.

• Do you have any update on the recent “$30,950,010 USDT Tether hack? Are authorities any closer to resolving this?

Failed to respond.

• Can you provide more information on how Tethers are created. Specifically what determines the creation volume. For example what prompted the creation of $70 million Tethers in Early September?

Failed to respond.
