The U.S. Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued and set charges of 1 million USD as a monetary penalty against Friedman LLP, the former auditing firm of Tether. Although the stablecoin issuer Tether hired the same auditing company from May 2017 to January 2018, the case filed last week does not count it.

Friedman LLP, a New York-based accounting firm that provided auditing services for Tether in 2017, is accused of “serial violations of the federal securities laws” and “improper professional conduct.”
