It's not just XRP that is having problems linking the reason the SEC reporting on a source doesn't verify over data. Tether also goes into issues to interact with the dispute with Bitfinex.
Tether is a controversial coin in the eyes of the authorities way much before XRP came under fire and the cryptocurrency enthusiast especially bitcoin enthusiast were against XRP simply because of its centralized authority and you need to expect Tether coming under fire right now or in the future as they are always shady with the way in which they create coins out of thin air without any transparency especially when the market shows signs of a rally.
