This only raises more questions.

The law firm is seriously sketchy. https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/8slnho/freeh_spor...

And... they didn't actually verify anything. Look at these disclaimers! https://twitter.com/Bitfinexed/status/1009433789456666627




Heh, so it's like they had to search far and wide to find someone shady enough to sign off on them having the money, and even then the form would only do so after adding disclaimers that amount to, "we didn't do a real audit, we assumed that the employees were providing valid information, we haven't checked compliance with any law".


Interesting context on the law firm: looks like one of the partners is a former head of the FBI under Bill Clinton. Another partner is a former head of the SEC enforcement division.
