Which is itself a weird phrasing. OFAC compliance is an obligation, not an "opportunity".

Perhaps "the opportunity to address the concerns" is in contrast to being shut down with no opportunity for corrective action.

Kinda like someone released on parole is happy for an opportunity to work and obey the law.

Still not a partnership. Tether spin.
Of course it's spin. What else could they say? "we keep having to respond to your damn emails"?
obviously spin, but "partnership" doesn't bother me much. Partnership doesnt mean equal partners. Someone might have a business "partnership" with a warlord, that lets them live as long as you prive payments.
> Partnership doesnt mean equal partners.

It still implies some sort of meeting of the minds. You wouldn't say you've entered a "partnership" with the IRS because you paid your taxes, nor a "partnership" with the police because they pulled you over and searched your car.

"I'm excited to work with the Philadelphia Police Department in our new partnership and am thankful they agreed to negotiate yet another meeting with the parole board after I helpfully divulge where I hid more of the remaining bodies."

You really do catch more flies with honey.

They have absolutely no power in the relationship. It's do as legislated/court ordered, or pain.

If there is 0 control over things, it's not a partnership.

Business is business. They are proactive in selling their service to the government.
In lay men’s terms this is called ass kissing.
