They claimed this 74% in filings to the NY Supreme Court, so, while I agree it is not as strong as an auditors' report, it is also a bit stronger than a PR release or a Twitter burst.

the NY Supreme Court

Before you get too excited about that phrase, the courts in New York State have funny names. The words "Supreme Court" have a much different meaning than they do in any other state.

I’d strongly disagree, seeing as that filing was in a court they see as a joke

> Bitfinex and Tether dispute that the court has jurisdiction over the companies because, among other reasons, they do not operate in the U.S., and because both companies bar New York residents from doing business on their platforms.
