A cryptocurrency backed by one of Nigel Farage’s biggest donors has been used to help Russia fight its war against Ukraine, British investigators say.
A private company headquartered in El Salvador, Tether has grown so popular that it declared profits of $13bn for 2024, one-and-a-half times those of McDonald’s. Tether’s shares are reportedly owned by a small group, among them Christopher Harborne, one of the UK’s biggest political donors. Harborne took a 12% stake around 2016, court papers say, although it is unclear what share of Tether’s profits he has received.
Oh, Tether. That thing’s so vast that of course some of it will be used for nefarity. We’re at the level here of bloming Macci D’s for insufficient security when there’s a shooting in one.
….and just like that they all forgot about Sam Bankman-Freid and his massive support for the Democrats.
Because it’s ok when our side does it.
