Odaily星球日报讯 美国民主党参议员 Elizabeth Warren 与 Ron Wyden 本周向 Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino 及美国商务部长 Howard Lutnick 发出信函，就 Tether 向 Lutnick 子女作为受益人的家庭信托基金提供贷款一事表达关切。
信函指出，Lutnick 在担任商务部长前曾领导 Cantor Fitzgerald，而该公司自 2021 年起一直担任 Tether 储备金的托管人。参议员质疑该笔贷款可能协助 Lutnick 的子女获取资金以收购其父亲在 Cantor Fitzgerald 的股份，并担忧这涉及利益输送或受贿行为。此外，参议员还对 Tether 此前的合规记录以及其在《GENIUS Act》立法过程中的游说活动表示担忧，强调必须确保具有政治背景的加密利益方不会获得特殊待遇。(The Block)
