Tether Refutes WSJ’s Recent Accusations
Tether has dismissed accusations of involvement in fraudulent bank account acquisition using falsified documents made on March 3.
The Wall Street Journal claimed that documents in their possession showed that Tether and a related cryptocurrency broker concealed identities.
The article cited messages from Tether Holdings Ltd.’s owner, Stephen Moore, who expressed concern about the risks of using false documents and warned against engaging in fraudulent or money laundering practices.
Despite this, at least one Tether executive, allegedly Moore himself, had signed false documents. Tether refuted the claims as “wholly inaccurate and misleading” and stated that it maintained compliance programs and worked with enforcement agencies.

As always ton of misinformation and inaccuracies. Poor guys, must be difficult be them but need better media.— Paolo Ardoino 🍐 (@paoloardoino) March 3, 2023
The Wall Street Journal has previously criticized Tether for various issues, but the company’s USDT token remains the largest stablecoin with a market cap of $71 billion and a 24-hour volume of $43 billion.
