According to ChainCatcher, The Block reported that Tether has sent letters to the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, as well as the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services, outlining its "commitment to security and close cooperation with law enforcement."In a recent letter, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino emphasized Tether's recent decision to prohibit the use of USDT in all wallets on the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions list.Tether claims to have helped the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Secret Service, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) freeze 326 wallets controlling 435 million USDT so far, although the tokens in the most recently frozen wallets appear to be far less than this number.Ardoino also announced that Tether "recently onboarded the U.S. Secret Service onto our platform and is doing the same for the FBI."
