Tether faces a lawsuit in Manhattan federal court from terrorism victims and their families seeking control of $344 million in frozen USDT tied to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The frozen funds are held in two Tron wallet addresses sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury and frozen by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Plaintiffs argue Tether can control and transfer these funds since it can blacklist addresses and freeze assets on its network. The case raises concerns about centralized stablecoins' role in sanctions enforcement and follows scrutiny of Tether's dealings with Iranian-linked crypto platforms.
