there's an old fashioned run on the bank currently underway at one of #Tether's biggest customers: Cambodia's infamous #Huione / #HuionePay / #HuioneWallet / #Xinbi.

i feel like there must be some linguistic reason these Chinese organized crime crypto money laundering companies always use the word "guarantee" in their names.
