BDO is the company that does their attestation and is the 5th largest auditing firm in the world, and they are obviously paid for their work How does that make them a party of interest and their attestation not reliable?

I remember them saying they were fully backed and then everyone got their knickers in a twist about cash equivalents, not understanding what that meant. But I don’t recall them stating they were backed 1:1 USD. Maybe they did but I don’t recall that. But they have received assurance opinions from BDO. I am not backing or knocking Tether, just calling out misinformation, of which there is plenty.

attestations are meaningless. Scam Bankrupt Fraud attested the money was all there and one of the big auditors attested to it without doing a proper audit. So let me ask this. Is BDO attesting they did an audit and the audit is correct or they are willing to be held negligible for client funds/fraud? Because that’s what I mean by Audit. Case in point is true company Arthur Andersen who signed off on enron no longer exists because they signed off and got sued into oblivion.

I never said they were the same thing? The reasoning behind keeping them opaque is very similar in these scenarios. I’m not defending any stablecoin issuer, every single on does this. Why is all the heat on Tether? Their is obvious strategical reasoning for keeping your reserve opaque for these issuers. It is the same reasoning that leads firms to be private with their loan collateral. BDO attested Tethers reserves in November. If you cannot see the operational risk in posting your available liquidity and exact reserve makeup I don’t know what to tell you. Its simple to process. These issuers have reasons to do it outside of “they’re all insolvent and creating money out of thin air”

The NY AG investigated Tether and [found Tether loaned $850m to Bitfinex](https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2019/attorney-general-james-announces-court-order-against-crypto-currency-company) when Bitfinex got screwed by their scam 'bank,' meaning Tether was not fully backed for a significant period of time. If there had been a run on Tether during this time, it would have resulted in Tether and Bitfinex's insolvency. There was no run though because the lack of backing was not public information, and most users never use Tether's redemption facility, meaning Tether was able to process redemptions by institutional clients as if they were operating in the normal course of business. The investigation is still ongoing but has [shifted from looking at Tether's backing to focusing on whether the founders misled banks](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-31/tether-bank-fraud-probe-gets-fresh-look-by-justice-department) when they were trying to get banked. We can infer from the investigators shifting focus that they are satisfied Tether is now sufficiently backed. Further, according to Tether's [monthly statements](https://tether.to/en/transparency/#reports), attested to (but not audited) by [BDO Italia](https://www.bdo.com), Tether has significantly divested from commercial paper, buying more Treasuries instead. All that being said, there are clear red flags: \- Tether is owned by the same people who own Bitfinex. Management have shown they are willing to sacrifice Tether's reserves to prop-up their exchange. They could do the same thing again, for example, if Bitfinex gets hacked again. \- Tether's [former banker claimed](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2021-10-07/crypto-mystery-where-s-the-69-billion-backing-the-stablecoin-tether) the CIO is using customer deposits for proprietary trading: >So earlier this year I set out to solve the mystery. The money trail led from Taiwan to Puerto Rico, the French Riviera, mainland China, and the Bahamas. One of Tether’s former bankers told me that its top executive had been putting its reserves at risk by investing them to earn potentially hundreds of millions of dollars of profit for himself. “It’s not a stablecoin, it’s a high-risk offshore hedge fund,” said John Betts, who ran a bank in Puerto Rico Tether used. “Even their own banking partners don’t know the extent of their holdings, or if they exist.” \- Tether is a private company, so its financial statements are not public. It is therefore not possible to assess Tether's profitability, cash flow, assets, liabilities, and general bankruptcy risk. Given management is allegedly trading client funds and was previously invested in "commercial paper," unspecified, which could be bad loans to other, perhaps related companies, there is the possibility Tether blows itself up. \- Tether's founders are under criminal investigation still. If the NY AG indicts Tether's founders for misleading banks, there is a high probability, in my estimation, that they abscond with customer deposits and disappear. Based on the foregoing, we can conclude there are good reasons traders should — at all times — minimize their risk to Tether by not holding $USDT. The risk of suffering losses from a depeg/insolvency can be limited by quickly trading in and out of Tether pairs, so that exposure to Tether is minimized to a few seconds or minutes. $USDC is strictly preferred.

A couple things here. An attestation is based on a snapshot. It may be perfectly fine if you get somebody to send you all the funds for 24 hrs. Auditor is not saying anything about anything but that at that point funds were there. I think this has actually happened in the past wi th an attestation for Bitconnect, when they received almost all funds for 24 hrs. Second, an auditor, even when conducting a regular audit ( which this is NOT) will clearly state that they can’t be responsible if they were misled via fraudulent practices. They are not doing a forensic analysis. Finally, and not a minor detail here, I don’t know much about BDO Italia and how big/reputable it is, but I know each country’s firms are all independent so not sure about it. I don’t have a bone here, but want to make sure folks understand that an attestation really doesn’t mean much.

I'm not sure if you have changed your mind or what you're arguing for. You questioned the person saying Tether is a fraud, but it seems like you're quite aware it is a fraud but that you're pointing your finger towards Circle instead of agreeing the crypto space have multiple frauds. It's quite clear USDT is getting attestations and not audits. Is the word "auditor" confusing you? In the BDO report they make it quite clear they base their report on the Tether management actually complying, it's not a independent audit. An independent audit is extremely important to enable trust in Tether. In an independent audit BDO would express their opinion about Tether's finances based on a methodical examination of their finances. Instead they're basically saying "as far as we know (based on what they showed us)Tether is legit assuming management is following the listed accounting procedures" which is a big assumption when it comes to Tether and their extremely shady background. Saying something like "How so? They are audited quite often ... you can check the reports on the website." is disregarding reality. Tether is not audited quite often, because they don't comply with the standard of an audit. Calling it "being audited" is spreading misinformation which will make people lose money when this ball of shit finally explodes.

The verdict is in: Dr. Craig Wright was the sole force behind the Satoshi Nakamoto partnership. Dave Kleiman was not a partner, and his estate is entitled to none of the multi-billion-dollar Satoshi fortune. The Kleiman v Wright jury today returned in favor of Dr. Craig Wright on all but one of the seven counts against him—conversion. The jury found for the plaintiff on that count, but only to the extent that it applies to W&K Info Defense Research LLC, the company which Ira was purporting to use to sue Dr. Wright. This means that though the jury found that Dave Kleiman played no role in the Satoshi Nakamoto project, Dr. Wright had wrongfully exercised control over the property of W&K. For this, they awarded $100 million to W&K—and not the estate of Dave Kleiman. CG Home » Business » Bitcoin creator Craig Wright 100% Satoshi Nakamoto, says Kleiman v Wright jury Bitcoin creator Craig Wright 100% Satoshi Nakamoto, says Kleiman v Wright jury BUSINESS 54 MINUTES AGO Jordan Atkins  The verdict is in: Dr. Craig Wright was the sole force behind the Satoshi Nakamoto partnership. Dave Kleiman was not a partner, and his estate is entitled to none of the multi-billion-dollar Satoshi fortune. The Kleiman v Wright jury today returned in favor of Dr. Craig Wright on all but one of the seven counts against him—conversion. The jury found for the plaintiff on that count, but only to the extent that it applies to W&K Info Defense Research LLC, the company which Ira was purporting to use to sue Dr. Wright. This means that though the jury found that Dave Kleiman played no role in the Satoshi Nakamoto project, Dr. Wright had wrongfully exercised control over the property of W&K. For this, they awarded $100 million to W&K—and not the estate of Dave Kleiman. However, it’s not even entirely clear who owns W&K or if Ira Kleiman was even entitled to sue Dr. Wright on behalf of it. This is likely to be highly problematic for Ira Kleiman, who no doubt was hoping for a payday from Satoshi Nakamoto. Instead, he’ll have to explain to another court how he purported to sue Dr. Wright on behalf of W&K in the first place, considering it appears to be owned and controlled by none other than Lynn Wright, Wright’s estranged ex-wife. The verdict comes after an arduous deliberation which initially saw the jury come back to Judge Beth Bloom and say they were unable to agree on any of the questions they had been asked to decide. Bloom issued an Allen charge, urging them to take another run at coming to an agreement. The suit had been brought by Ira Kleiman, brother of late cybersecurity practitioner Dave Kleiman, and concerned the invention of Bitcoin. According to Ira, not only did Dr. Wright invent Bitcoin under the Satoshi Nakamoto pseudonym, he did so in partnership with Dave. Therefore, according to Ira, his brother was entitled to a share of the assets of the partnership: namely 1.1 million Bitcoin and a loosely defined bundle of intellectual property together worth tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars. Dr. Wright had never denied that Dave Kleiman played a role in the invention of Bitcoin. He told the jury during his emotional time on the stand that he considered Dave vital to the project, but that he hadn’t contributed to its creation beyond moral support and cleaning up some of Satoshi’s early writings, such as the white paper. Ira, on the other hand, says the two were business partners, with Dave Kleiman being entitled to potentially half of the Satoshi Nakamoto fortune. For weeks, the jury was confronted with thousands of pages of exhibits and hours of testimony. There was a swell of evidence which placed Dr. Wright squarely at the heart of Bitcoin’s creation back in 2008—testimony from RAAF Wing Commander Don Lynam that Wright gave him a draft copy of the Bitcoin whitepaper before it was released and that he ran one of Bitcoin’s earliest nodes at Wright’s instruction, early forms of the project he had developed in his employment at BDO years before Bitcoin was released and emails showing Dr. Wright dealing in vast amounts of Bitcoin in the time since 2009. On the other hand, there was very little evidence that Dave Kleiman was involved in Bitcoin’s creation. In fact, there’s scant evidence that Dave ever held any Bitcoin at all. For example, medical testimony showed that Dave was too ill to have contributed to Bitcoin, and despite dying in poverty, there is no evidence that Dave tried to use his allegedly vast Bitcoin wealth in the months before his death. His friends all testified that they never heard Dave speak about Bitcoin while he was alive. For the jury in Miami, the evidence pointed only one way: no partnership. In essence, the verdict amounts to a finding that Satoshi Nakamoto was the product of one man: Dr. Craig Wright. The jury was apparently unconvinced by the plaintiff’s argument that Wright had chosen to steal Dave’s share of the partnership after his death and forged backdated contracts to make the transfers appear consensual. The documents supposedly came from the Australian Taxation Office’s (ATO) investigation into several of Wright’s companies, though their origin is dubious and none are concerned directly with Dave Kleiman’s alleged involvement in Bitcoin. Among all of the loosely relevant documents and instances which the Ira’s lawyers said prove Dr. Wright is a liar, the strategy for the plaintiffs seemed to be to turn the trial into a referendum on Wright’s credibility. The forgery issue backfired on the plaintiffs spectacularly in the closing days of trial, where it was revealed that a key piece of evidence in the plaintiff’s case—an email where Wright apparently invites Dave Kleiman to work on him with Bitcoin back in early 2008—was likely forged by someone other than Wright. The email was the only evidence Dave Kleiman had ever heard of Bitcoin before it was released via the white paper in 2009. They apparently bought that Dr. Wright had wrongfully taken control of the assets of W&K but not Dave Kleiman—had the jury felt that Dr. Wright had wronged his dead best friend, there were multiple counts on which they could have found against Dr. Wright, including breach of partnership and conversion against the Dave Kleiman estate personally. Where this leaves Dr. Wright is an open question. No doubt, the ownership of W&K will need to be resolved, and who knows whether Ira Kleiman has the physical or financial stamina to argue in court that W&K actually belongs to him. Beyond that, the Kleiman v Wright suit is just one of a number of legal actions the apparent Bitcoin creator is involved in. Indeed, the victory over Kleiman is the latest in what is becoming a formidable win streak for Dr. Wright. In the last 12 months, Wright has secured judgments against Hodlonaut and Peter McCormack over defamatory posts they had made calling Wright a fraud, and successfully enforced his copyright in the Bitcoin whitepaper against BTC developer Cøbra. This is to say nothing of the pending and impending litigation waiting in the wings. ~Coingeek

Maybe a glib answer but: > It's not flashy enough. Case in point: 1. Not promising to be the next [x] 2. Not promising to be worth [x] in [y] years 3. Not bragging about being better than [other network] 4. Maybe a result of all of the above but: most people don't even know they are advertising. I will conclude with an ad I saw many years ago, for a company called BDO. The (very short) ad features two professionals talking in (what was at the time, to me) pure business jargon--not made-up, mind you--and ends with one of them saying to the other, "...and so we called BDO." The ad ends with a narrator voice-over: > People who _know_, know BDO. It took me a few more years to find out what they did. But it was a valuable lesson for me.

Boys and girls, I need help. I've been using Beefy for quite some time, and I see that the pool with BDO - BUSD LPs has a huge APY. Now, there has to be a catch since both of them are stablecoins. I see it's using Pancake, yet I can't find the same farm on PancakeSwap, so I guess it's closed and Beefy is just not up to date? Or am I missing something?

BDO is an algorithmic stablecoin. Its price fluctates but its always trying to get to $1 thru various measures like expansion rate and bonds. bDollar and bEarn are really good yield farms If you buy & stake sDBO you can get ~40 BDO a day by staking sDBO. Then you can stake your DBO to get BFI, or use any of the other vaults to farm various coins
