Bitfinex and several others are accused of being the bitcoin and cryptomarkt influence to enrich themselves. It’s going to be a class-action lawsuit (group action, ed.). where, therefore, a staggering amount that will be required.
In addition to this manipulation, it is Bitfinex, and the like, still more, alleged:

Trial
The parties involved may be represented by two lawyers: Sheets of Friedman and Kyle Roche. These are the same lawyers who have recently been the case, Craig Wright, and to 500,000 in BTC, but we won. The defendant in this case, Bitfinex, Tether, Digifinex, current officers, and a handful of others.
In addition, there is question of inaccurate information on the stablecoin Tether (USDT). The coin was ever placed on the market as a cryptomunt, which is fully covered by the dollar. That is not the case. Against this charge to Tether and co. to defend themselves in court.
Compared to CoinDesk, said a spokesperson from Bitfinex, and Tether to that, they will never be used in the USDT tokens for the price of a single bitcoin to be manipulated: ”of All the tokens that have been fully covered by reserves and may be printed if the demand is there. It is irresponsible to suggest that the Tether is engaged in illegal business practices.”
Tether and Bitfinex
Tether and Bitfinex are already under fire, however, there is still little experience in the court room. Anyway, take care of this stuff for sure in the market. If the court determines that they have been found guilty of market manipulation, the question arises of what bitcoin is, and cryptomarkten going to respond to it.
