a little correction. Tether and Bitfinex were exposed in Panama Papers as sister companies. They are not two unrelated as they say they are. Even more reason to stay away from Bitfinex and USDT

correct. phil potter is director at both bitfinex and tether. tethers get deposited straight to bitfinex upon creation as far as i understand it.

yes that's true. You can even see the tether printer and the sends of tether on the omni network. The omni network is a layer on top of bitcoin and is totally transparent

Can you show us where we can find these transactions?

this handy twitter bot sends a message every time new tethers are issued -- https://twitter.com/tetherprinter

Follow the trail related to Bitfinex's CFO (in the Panama papers, and elsewhere).

Pretty interesting findings.

Got a good link? This stuff is interesting.
