Key Points:
The move, revealed in a statement, underscores the commitment to transparency, responding to a FOIL request initiated by CoinDesk earlier this year.
While the companies have chosen not to openly release documentation, citing a misalignment with their business practices, they emphasized a dedication to transparent communication. Despite reservations about the conduct of journalists Zeke Faux, Shane Shifflett, and Ada Hui, who lodged the FOIL request, Tether and Bitfinex opted not to challenge it.
Addressing concerns related to journalistic practices, the stablecoin issuer and crypto exchange pledged to engage responsibly with journalists and regulatory bodies, adhering to ethical reporting standards. They acknowledged concerns about the conduct of specific journalists but asserted their commitment to transparency, denying any intention to conceal information.
Tether and Bitfinex also tackled past criticisms of journalistic practices, accusing Zeke Faux of extending beyond the bounds of professional journalism. They claimed media outlets like The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg presented “one-sided and inaccurate” coverage.
Emphasizing the importance of responsible document review before public release, the companies stressed that transparency doesn’t equate to unrestricted disclosure, highlighting a commitment to balanced reporting within ethical boundaries.
