What? The fact that the fraud is successful for some non-zero amount of time is not evidence that it's not a fraud. It just evidence that it's a successful one, which is precisely what's being alleged. Enron, WorldCom, et al worked until they didn't.

Tether Limited has never substantiated their claim of full-backing through a promised audit of their currency reserves.
"Trust me I'm fully backed, give me your money for tether" reeks powerfully of a scam to me.
I think the criticisms towards tether are fully substantiated given their lack of transparency.

If Tether is a scam, you're going to be hard pressed to find someone willing to sell 1:1. Like all things crypto, don't be the last one out the door.
USDC and USDT trade at basically 1:1, as you can see here: https://www.binance.com/en/trade/USDC_USDT
FUD around Tether (like this article) is noise.
