Wolf Of Wallstreet says Tether is a Scam



The refined system fraudster Jordan Belfort, also known as "The Wolf of Wall Street", calls for a "massive regulation" of Bitcoin and Co.

Jordan Belfort is familiar with fraud: With his investment company Stratton Oakmont, Belfort initiated numerous pump-and-dump maneuvers in the 1990s that caused total damage to its customers of over USD 200 million. This ultimately earned him not only the nickname “Wolf of Wall Street,” but also 22 months in prison and a US $ 110 million fine. Since then, Belfort has been the refined motivational coach, who is also happy to comment on crypto events.


Jordan Belfort thinks Tether is a fraud

The Wolf of Wall Street recently met at the Coindesk crypto portal . The occasion was the report of new investigations by the US Department of Justice (DOJ), which are directed against the management level of the stablecoin publisher Tether Labs. It is nowhere near the first time Tether has been targeted by US authorities.

For Belfort the matter is clear:

I've been saying since 2017 that I think there was a big problem with Tether and I was shocked that it never came to be. […] I have no direct evidence, but it seemed pretty practical to me that the supply of tether expanded when it was needed.

Belfort is alluding to the doubts that have accompanied the Tether promise - namely that USDT is fully covered by reserves - for years. This was also the reason for the investigation by the New York Public Prosecutor's Office, which ended with Tether lightly, namely with a settlement.


This caused astonishment at the Wolf of Wall Street:

When I heard they had a civil settlement I thought, Wow, how did you get away with that? Something like that cannot be regulated under civil law, that is a serious accusation,

so Belfort, who must finally know.

The Wolf of Wall Street is a bitcoin bull

When it comes to Bitcoin, DeFi, and the crypto market as a whole, Belfort is quite bullish. However, the convicted securities fraudster sees strict regulation as a basic requirement for the thriving of the crypto market:

I'm a long-term crypto bull and I think the sooner massive regulation hits the market, the better it is for bitcoin, stablecoins and everything else. I think people are afraid of regulation, they shouldn't. Look back in history: every nascent market got much bigger after the regulators came

  According to one analyst, Bitcoin is behaving the same overall this year as it has in previous cycles. Bitcoin ( BTC ) will have “at least one more boost higher” before hitting all-time highs this halving cycle, analysts are currently saying. The well-known analyst TechDev has spoken on Twitter about the current state of BTC and said that contrary to many opinions, nothing unusual has happened in BTC/USD in 2022.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...
