Bitcoin Tumbles After Officials Allege $850 Million Fraud

The cryptocurrency markets buckled on Thursday evening after New York's attorney general accused the owners of a prominent exchange, Bitfinex, of using illicit transactions to mask $850 million in missing funds. According to a 23-page legal filing, Bitfinex raided the reserves of a so-called stablecoin called Tether—a digital currency purportedly backed one-to-one by U.S. dollars—in order to pay out customers demanding withdrawals from the exchange. The news caused Bitcoin to fall nearly 6% to around $5,100, and raise questions about the viability of Tether, which many investors use as a surrogate for dollars to move in and out of different cryptocurrencies.
