In the tweet, Roche accused Tether and Bitfinex of creating the “largest bubble in history.”
Filed on Oct. 6, the complaint document states that Bitfinex and Tether primarily engaged in a “sophisticated scheme” involving “part-fraud, part-pump-and-dump, and part-money laundering.”
In the lawsuit, Roche Freedman argues that Tether’s claim of backing the number of USDT with equal USD reserves was a lie. The document reads:
“Because the market believed the lie that one USDT equaled one U.S. dollar, Bitfinex and Tether had the power to, and did, manipulate the market on an unprecedented scale to profit from boom-and-bust cycles they created.”
