Tether Lawyer Admits Stablecoin Now 74% Backed by Cash and Equivalents

https://www.coindesk.com/tether-lawyer-confirms-stablecoin-74-percent-backed-by-cash-and-equivalents

Hoegner filed the affidavit to support an Order to Show Cause to vacate or modify the NYAG’s ex parte order filed last week, and to stay the order, which would compel Bitfinex and Tether to produce certain documents by May 3.

Indeed, under a subheading labeled “Tether Holders Are Not At Risk,” Hoegner confirmed that USDT is no longer backed 100 percent by cash or liquid assets, saying:

“As of the date [April 30] I am signing this affidavit, Tether has cash and cash equivalents (short term securities) on hand totaling approximately $2.1 billion, representing approximately 74 percent of the current outstanding tethers.”

Expert witness testifies against Craig Wright in whopping $10 Billion Satoshi Nakamoto lawsuit.

An expert witness has filed an affidavit in the Kleiman v. Wright case, which alleges that Craig Wright stole billions of dollars worth of bitcoins from Dave Kleiman either before or after he passed away. The Kleiman estate is seeking damages in the neighborhood of $10 billion. Wright is defending the case with tenacity and recently submitted a provably fake e-mail as evidence.

**Insert Carlton Dance**

 Lost all respect for that brother when he went after Epic for the dance move in Fortnite.

 Total dickhead maneuver.

Yeah I heard about that, think he must be broke.

He did a reality type TV show in the UK - Some Dancing Competition

TL;DR Exchange site adds new "Lightning" mode w/ different UI colors.

TS;GM

In this case, they do hold the funds in the channels - a technical issue: multisig escrow isn't yet available on the LN. The user must "enter" (conjure?) an invoice and pay it to release the funds.

The old mode, on the main chain, is and will still be available. It's non custodial: they can't access the funds and they need user keys to do things.

ugh that fucking cringy design of the anonymous mask on the eagle, no thanks.

I think it blends just perfectly with minestrone and lentil soup. You're not supposed to actually eat it.

EDIT: Besides, the bird is holding a rocket and... what's in her right hand?
