FIRST OFF: THE LEGALESE! From the November report:
"In making an assessment of the risks of material misstatement, we considered and obtained an understanding of internal control relevant to the preparation of, and the Reserve Account Information in...
, the accompanying Reserve Account and Blacklisted Account Reports in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of such internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed"
In english: In order to determine whether or not they were being fed bullshit, they obtained an understanding of the procedures in how they were fed bullshit.
So they designed procedures to work with the bullshit but they can't say if their procedures are bullshit. So they don't
In other words: No. Culpability.
"We believe that the evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion"
BELIEVE! But they can't be sure and won't form an opinion on it. Also, Naturally, they only look at USDC's own materials.
" in the accompanying Reserve Account Report as of November 30, 2020 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time (“PT”) (“Report Date and Time”) is correctly state"
It's the #Tether trick all over again. *as long as* they have the money in that account at that time, "it's all there" for a month.
There's something else that's off.
The June report is signed July 15th.
July = August 14th.
August = September 16th.
September = October 16th.
October = November 23rd.
November = December 16th.
Why the delay?
It is now January 21st. No December report as of yet.
I mean, December 31st already happened. They clearly can do things within 2 weeks. The holidays sucks sure but that doesn't give you a pass on the audits.
The December 2019 audit: signed January 15th.
Dec 2018: January 15th.
Oct 2018: November 16th.
Oct 2019: November 14th.
I went through them all. The latest dates are 17th december, 18th of July and 23rd of November.
Why the massive 6 day gap? And this month again?
Oh.. And it's not as if Granton&Thornton is squeeky clean:
To show you how bullshit the buyside liquidity is, it's all spoofing.
And yes it went away again too.
I'll add another tweet here since the day seems to have ended - liquidity is restored to the USDT pairs - But make no mistake, it's not Dollar liquidity.
Today was a scare for anybody who bought in below $30K: Sell.
For anybody above that... May god have mercy on your soul...

Once it's fullscreen on desktop, rightclick > view image and twitter should show the full format. It's on my website as backup. The short of it:
ALL stable coins are backed by the SAME reserve! EVERY stablecoin shows mainly or even ONLY *Tether* flowing into it!
The USDC Audits are *FRAUDULENT* just like the 2018 Tether audit was. It reads exactly the same as the Tether audit did, only a bit more refined, and they found a willing criminal organization, Granton & Thornton, to run cover for them. It's no coincidence it started October 2018
SKIP THE BITCOIN PART! I'm not gonna have the value discussion here. We can all agree that there have been plenty of scams in history involving value. If you love bitcoin you'd want it to be scam free.
First off; Tether printed another 71,500,000 tether last night. Nice round number. Very organic. They printed 96,399,401 yesterday, what's that all about then?
Printed ~$500 million last 7 days, annualized $25,6 billion, down from $35B. Guess the rising price attention helps.
I needed a distraction after i hit that pile of bad memories and had a little panic attack; So i decided to make another crypto chart ^_^
Maybe this shows better *why* i don't trust Bitcoin volume as measured in trades instead of dollars.
It doesn't line up with the price spike
Peter Lynch in his 1994 speech said "Stocks aren't lottery tickets.... Coca Cola is earning 30 times what it did 30 years ago, its price has gone up 30 times. Bethlehem steel earns half as much as it did 30 years ago, the share price is half."
Well Crypto runs on Pure Demand.
IOTA is more reliable in price action because it's a private network with no ability to print more money AND it's an alt coin with a smaller market cap. Meaning it's out of the public eye, including Tether's eye.
And while Bitcoin might not be able to print more, Tether sure is.
BREAKING: Retail Participation in markets is topping out!
Well not really breaking news but i barely ever get to use that, so :D
First some charts (that confirmed my theory), then i'll explain to ya how i came by the info:
So, one of the YT channels i follow is Meet Kevin (to keep up to date with stimulus and real estate). And i was watching this video, when i heard something interesting:
Specifically, about his sponsor, WeBull.
He's had that sponsor for a long time, so i can chart the behavior of that sponsor VS market conditions at the time.
During that peak in the search trend, WeBull was offering 2 free stocks - an offer that was about to expire and extended on the deadline (AKA FOMO scarcity).
