They are also not stored value or currency. There is no contractual right or other right or legal claim against us to redeem or exchange your Tethers for money. We do not guarantee any right of redemption or exchange of Tethers by us for money. There is no guarantee against losses when you buy, trade, sell, or redeem Tethers. http://bit.ly/2pFJ7Ab was then able to retire BFX tokens with that USD, since tethers are not legally redeemable per their TOS, they can choose to redeem these at their leisure or simply not at all. USDT/Tether are not legally their liabilities per the terms.there are 65 million USD of tethers in the cryptocurrency space bidding up prices. people think these are backed but when you look at the fine print, they are not.trade carefully via /r/Bitcoin http://bit.ly/2patrTO
