A CEO of a US-based cross-border currency exchange company has been arrested for allegedly hiring someone to kill someone and paying the murder deposit in USDT.

The CEO was taken into custody by the authorities after a thorough investigation, which revealed that he had planned and paid for the murder using USDT, a stablecoin.

The case highlights the potential risks and misuse of cryptocurrencies, particularly stablecoins, which are often used for illicit activities due to their anonymity and ease of use.
