We condemn the misuse of USDT or any cryptocurrency for illicit purposes and are fully committed to collaborating with global law enforcement agencies."

Tether’s assistance to the U.S. Department of Justice stands as a tangible testament to the enduring relationship between the cryptocurrency industry and law enforcement agencies.
