> seems easier than a pure lie

Aren't Tether and Bitfinex firms with a documented track record of repeatedly telling "pure" lies?




Yes, but not through accountants. Recall one incident where they transferred in a few hundred million to a formerly empty account. Moore Cayman accounting accurately reported they say money in the account. Then the money was transferred out after accountants looked at it.

Much more complex than just lying. They used the accountant’s true report to cover the truth.
