Whitney Webb Warns Tether Is a U.S. Control Tool Disguised as Financial Freedom

Investigative journalist Whitney Webb compares the CIA-linked bank BCCI to the modern stablecoin Tether, claiming both were promoted as helping developing countries but actually served powerful interests. She says Tether has ties to intelligence agencies, lacks financial transparency, and has been involved in crypto scandals like FTX. Webb warns that Tether may be used to expand U.S. financial control globally and could threaten financial freedom, raising doubts about whether it fits with Bitcoin’s original goals.
