How about you "gentlemand", do you happen to remember the tether drama?
I do indeed. I think BFX are a bunch of sleazoids but they have unparalleled survival skills so I never particularly doubted Tether's ongoing operation. Bitfinex management could come around one's house and torture your ailing mother to death and people would still use them.
I dont think there is anything wrong with tether. A lot of FUD but thats part of crypto
A large exchange like finex which even paid back all the people of the hack... They can have easily few billions in reserves
