Deep Tide's breakdown of Tether's major shareholders—seeing Uncle Dong prominently listed really makes you sigh. Back when Bitfinex was hacked, Uncle Dong chose to convert debt into equity, and later kept increasing his holdings. In 2020, when Uncle Dong got into trouble, it essentially forced him to lock up his assets for a few years, and when he came out, his net worth had skyrocketed by billions. Honestly, given Uncle Dong's restless personality, if he had been out there hustling, he might not have achieved the same results as locking up his assets. It's almost like fate made the choice for him. Uncle Dong's earliest partner, @laoge2100, who co-founded Dfund with him in 2016, and @jackliangkaijie, the co-founder of the TNB project that Uncle Dong deeply incubated during the ICO era, probably feel this on a very deep level.
