new article from #ZekeFaux in Bloomberg about the chairman of the #Trump transition team #HowardLutnick taking an ownership stake in "#Tether, the stablecoin used by drug traffickers, terrorists and scammers to move money around the world" and more specifically about $300 million in terrorist connected transactions:
