A bunch of people were mean to me for asking Tether questions, so figure I’ll just leave it alone now.

Ahahahaha, just kidding: R̶u̶s̶s̶i̶a̶ ̶T̶o̶d̶a̶y̶ Max has roughly tripled my interest.

And anyhow, we haven’t even gotten to the good stuff yet….

So last night I'm like, “how do I exact righteous nerd vengeance on these impolite rubes?”

And then I said to myself, “Self, let's follow the money like the detectives in the movies!”

First, we develop a hypothesis: what we would expect to see if something nefarious was going on, and then we’ll look for it?

Perhaps not a “Karl Popper approved” method of inquiry, but then again what is? (properly using a brain is quite hard…)

And I concluded that what I'd expect to see is capital flight from USDT-only exchanges to USD-enabled exchanges.

This may be confusing to some, so let's unpack what I mean first.

Some have actual Dollars and some only have Tethers. A few have both. If you want dollars, you have to get them from the former.
Curiously, the tether-only ones are where you get insane leverage, but lets save that for the next time RT-Max stops by.
