The letter reported here specifically mentions the FBI and doesn't mention the CIA. The press doesn't mention the CIA because it isn't in the letter the article is about. https://assets.ctfassets.net/vyse88cgwfbl/6KDtp7U4IcH03zPWnp...


Of course, now ask yourself what the FBI will to an organization that's washing money using crypto in Qatar? What the FBI gonna do?

FBI = domestic

letter:

"as we continue to assist law enforcement and expand dollar hegemony globally."

globally, what the FBI gonna do globally?

CIA has all 'rights' and capacity to act as whoever they want

Up to the reader to critically think in a way that permits yourself to ask, again, "what the FBI gonna do globally?"

That Tether expands dollar hegemony is just the story Tether tells the US government to try to convince it not to shut Tether down completely and instead work with Tether to recover dollars backing Tethers in sanctioned wallets. If Tether were backed by another currency, the US government would have less leverage, but it would also be worth less to malicious actors.


The FBI has offices around the world.


Again, what they gonna do globally? What's their mission? Is it to "as we continue to assist law enforcement and expand dollar hegemony globally."?


The CIA doesn't need to release a PSA to let everyone know of their actions, they have infiltrated SWIFT, have you ever read a join letter between Visa and the FBI?

Now what makes you believe the FBI chose to take the lead in making sure the USD remains the currency of choice even in a digital form

This is what the CIA do, that the FBI can't:

would love to read more if you have a link [edit: re CIA connection]


Google USD digital currency and you’ll see all the usual media outlets propagating the idea in concept to normalize it

You're being downvoted because when the user asked if there was any more reading material you told them "google it". That's rude and unhelpful.


There's also no connection, just tin foil hat
