CTO Paulo Ardoino took to Twitter to express his criticism of Bloomberg’s reporting.

It’s simply a shame that supposedly reliable media as Bloomberg find difficulties in understanding technology that is revolutionizing the world.” Ardoino said. 

“Bloomberg has proven themselves time and time again to be desperate for attention in an industry that they just do not understand. This most recent attempt to tarnish the reputation of Tether, one of the industry’s most significant contributors is yet another example of this behavior.” the company said in a statement

According to the USDT issuer, company executives have had no interactions with the Department of Justice regarding any investigation for over a year .
