tl;dr:

Unlike most cryptos, Tether is issued not mined. It 'claims' be be backed by real dollars held somewhere, 1 for each, but they have not been audited and have not proven this backing.

The rapid issuance of Tether has a magical overlap with the rapid growth of BTC/USD. That Tether may be buying BTC with their coin, then exchanging it as the value spikes for real dollars, is a genuine risk. The risk of this will then be extended to BTC:

People are calling BTC a true unregulated free market. I agree with that. Such markets are at great risk of exploitation.
