According to the indictment, they sought to conceal the loss of fiat funds at the Bitfinex exchange amounting to $850 million through a loan from Tether&#8217;s reserves.<\/p>\n<p>During the conference, a prosecutor&#8217;s representative intends to ask the court to compel the defendants to immediately produce the documents and information in accordance with the request dated April 24, 2019. The second demand would extend by 90 days the injunction prohibiting transfers of Bitfinex funds from Tether.<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2019, the prosecutor&#8217;s office charged Bitfinex with attempting to conceal the loss of $850 million using Tether&#8217;s reserves. The exchange disputed the allegations.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, the prosecutor obtained the documents related to the loss of access to fiat funds. In July 2020, the state&#8217;s appellate court rejected Bitfinex&#8217;s appeal, ordering it to disclose all the requested documentation.<\/p>\n<p>Follow ForkLog&#8217;s news on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/forklog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday, September 17, the New York Attorney General\u2019s Office (NYAG) and the cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex will hold a video conference in the case over the loss of $850 million, according to the court&#8217;s decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28446,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"select":"1","news_style_id":"","cryptorium_level":"","_short_excerpt_text":"","creation_source":"","_metatest_mainpost_news_update":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[95,1930,1245],"class_list":["post-28445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-and-analysis","tag-bitfinex","tag-prosecutor-office","tag-tether-usdt"],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_enabled":true,"views":"45","promo_type":"1","layout_type":"","short_excerpt":"","is_update":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28445"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28445\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28447,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28445\/revisions\/28447"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
