Given the better alternatives to Tether like Maker and TrueUSD, I would not use the instrument because of all this uncertainty as there are too many inconsistencies and lack of transparency on a timely basis here. In spanish there is a saying that says, when you hear the river, water is coming... So I would be careful just in case. Not to add to the FUD but remember that in most jurisdictions lawyers cannot disclose criminal or fraudulent activities due to a concept called Attorney/Client Privilege that accountants do not necessarily abide by as they do not have similar rules. That could be the reason they used a law firm instead but that is just me thinking, not knowing what is really going on.
