The famous report of the auditing company, despite the fact that it is not a result of the full audit is intended to confirm the existence of the required reserve.
Other issuers stabilio, such as cryptocurrency and the Gemini exchange startup Paxos, also presented the conclusions of audit companies. As in the case of Circle, we are not talking about a full scan, but they contrast sharply with the evidence of reserves, represented the largest Issuer of stabilio Tether.
In the beginning of the month the controversial company submitted a letter from his Bank Deltec Bank & Trust Limited, which was to confirm that the Tether has cash in the amount of $1.8 billion Letter again aroused suspicion, which traditionally accompanies the attempts of the company to prove the availability of the necessary funds. So, the letter did not specify the names of specific employees of the Bank had only signed an unknown person, is also very peculiar. In addition, the text contained several clauses regarding “limited liability” of the Bank and use as a base only “information available”. It is also unclear whether funds of the Issuer in the form of cash or any other assets.
