Tether Says Didn’t Freeze Sanctioned Tornado Cash Addresses So As to Not Interfere in Investigations

Tether says that it works closely with global law enforcement agencies to ensure it is compliant, but at this stage has not received any indication from the OFAC or any other relevant agency that it should freeze any secondary market addresses. "Unilaterally freezing secondary market addresses could be a highly disruptive and reckless move by Tether," the firm said in a statement, adding "completing a freeze without the verified instruction of law enforcement and other government agencies might interfere with ongoing and sophisticated law enforcement investigations."
