A new report from AMLBot reveals that delays in Tether’s blacklisting process have allowed over $78 million worth of USDT to be transferred despite the freeze attempt. This delay stems from Tether’s multi-signature contract system on both Ethereum and Tron, which requires two confirmation steps before a transaction can be finalized, leading to an average delay of 44 minutes. During this time, malicious actors have been able to monitor blacklisting submissions in real-time, swiftly transferring assets before the freeze goes into effect. The report indicates that approximately 170 Tron addresses utilized this loophole, moving nearly $290,000 on average before being officially blacklisted. This incident raises questions about the effectiveness of Tether’s compliance measures.
