Am I not seeing it or the paper is not linked anywhere? I think it's kind of the most important thing to see no?

It's not published yet. And again, it's standard practice to report on yet to be published peer-reviewed papers if they are exclusively shared with a publication. This is not just a case for reporting on Tether. Check Bloomberg, WSJ, FT and others

Naaaa, I think that you, among everyone, being a data analyst, should understand the importance of first hand data. This was just a click-bait article in fear of leaving that game only to bloomberg. But I still like you

Readers pay the block to get timely information they can act on. If The Block fails to report and then $LEO tanks based on expectation of this paper dropping (bullshit or not), then they’re not doing their job. Do you agree?

Yep, that’s exactly how I look at it

Of course, if you guys really want to give your readers the complete picture, I’d also note in the piece that these accusations aren’t new and were raised multiple times in the past, and the usual counterargument that was given when that happened

He literally did that ;)

Not exactly, these accusations didn’t start nor end with the previous edition of this paper, and there’s been more criticism than just Bitfinex saying “we’re not involved in any manipulation”
