Major U.S. debt holder sued in New York over $42.4M freeze

Tether just proved your crypto isn't actually yours. They froze $42.4 million in USDT based on a mere "informal request" from law enforcement—months before a legal warrant even existed. If a centralized company can blacklist your assets without a court order just because an agent asked, the promise of decentralized finance is a lie. Tether calls this "important work," but is it safety or a total violation of due process? Should any company have the power to freeze funds without a warrant?
