I agree that a Tether reckoning is coming, but point #10 of that thread is the most important: it could be weeks, months or _years_ before it's fully corrected, so be super super super careful about using Tether as a reason to short Bitcoin...

This is propaganda from a competing altcoin.

Just like "Jacob Oracle" did on Twitter, you're gonna have to provide at least some proof of your accusation. Now this is not conclusive in any way, but the user has "Investing in #Bitcoin" listed in their Twitter biography, hinting that they have more to lose if Bitcoin loses it's price, rather than gain, so seems they don't have anything but fairness to win with this. But wouldn't be the first time someone lied on the internet.

Point still stands, proof or GTFO.

Where is the proof of whether or not Tether was actually injecting unbacked tokens? The tweet author just assumed bitcoin spikes were being pumped by Tether, basically they got the graph and put lines on it. Do you call that proof?

Indeed, show the proof of manipulation or GTFO

I don't have any inclination towards the tweets author being right or wrong, I simply know too little about it. But at least they are providing something to try to back up their claim. If it's true or not will ultimately be up to law enforcement, if it comes to that.

My point was that the tweets author is trying to back up their claim while DJBunnies did absolutely nothing to try to back up theirs.
