Which account holders?

No one has provided proof of withdraw from Bitfinex USD or Tether since they've gotten kicked out of their banks.

Recent wires from Bitfinex have been associated with a rural bank in Poland which is normally only used only by farmers.

Indeed nobody has provided proof. However, Bitfinex claims to issue Taiwanese domestic wires unimpeded. I assume that, if that weren't the case, we'd be hearing from Taiwanese Bitfinex customers about it.

Why aren't we hearing from any Taiwanese Bitfinex customers with examples that they have successfully done so?

Are there even meaningful numbers of Taiwanese customers? Has it been marketed in Taiwan?

I can't say, though I would assume that if there were Taiwanese customers who couldn't withdraw, we'd be more likely to hear about that.
