Thief swaps $14.7M USDT to USDD to evade Tether freezes after Ledger wallet thefts

A thief linked to stolen Ledger hardware wallets swapped about $14.7 million in USDT for USDD to avoid Tether's freezing controls after Tether blacklisted and froze $10 million in USDT from the theft. Investigators traced $86-$93 million stolen from over 300 wallets across multiple blockchains. The thief used mixers and moved funds through different channels, showing a sophisticated operation. Ledger is investigating a supply-chain compromise and has suspended sales through a Southeast Asian reseller, advising customers to secure their funds in new wallets. This case highlights gaps in stablecoin freeze powers and risks for wallet buyers.
