That was a decent report considering the source has the incentive to be pro Bitcoin.

And the best that positive report could come up with was:

* serious lack of Tether transparency is not necessarily fraud.

* some correlation with deposit balance in Puerto Rico

I will eat my hat if a respectable audit firm releases a Tether audit showing that Tether has been 1:1 backed by real USD reserves in all of 2017.
