tldr; Giancarlo Devasini, the CFO of Bitfinex and Tether, and Ludovicus Jan van der Velde, CEO of the stablecoin of the same name, have been doing business for years with Dutchman Gennaro “Rino” Platone. Platone was the undisputed king of some of the major VAT scams in Europe, capable of achieving a turnover of half a billion euros a year. The connection passes through the company Perpetual Action Group (Asia) Inc, in the acronym Pag Asia.

Who would guess most scams are part of legit companies
In business with bad people. They like to give shoot on their own feet.

Digital piracy ? It can’t be ! ????
Interesting
Can a damaged reputation of a partner mean dishonesty of Tether and Bitfinex?
Tether are not scammers, I can argue and prove this forever, but I’m pissed off that corrupt people are trying to denigrate their name
