In a groundbreaking legal saga that can only be described as a soap opera set in the world of digital money, a New York bankruptcy court has halted the universe to allow Celsius to unleash its near-$4.3 billion lawsuit against Tether. Witnesses said the judge eyed the courtroom with the same disdain a cat shows for a spilled bowl of kibble, as lawyers for Celsius argued that Tether once again forgot the golden rule of the crypto wild west: “All primordial beasts deserve a fighting chance before you liquidate their assets.”
“If only we had more time to post collateral, we would have kept our Bitcoin out of Tether’s clutches!” lamented an anonymous source, who urged us to take the statement with a grain of salt and a shot of tequila. Reports indicate that the timing of the Bitcoin liquidation was as suspiciously convenient as a cat conveniently knocking down a glass of water right before an important Zoom call. You know the one.
In a twist reminiscent of a longstanding Tether drama, it seems that nearly 40,000 bitcoins were liquidated as easily as a toddler swaps out their lovable stuffed bear for a shiny new toy. Celsius claims they were “ready to scale Mount Collateral” if only they were given the requisite ten-hour warning. But, of course, Tether was already purring over their profit margins, and we all know how cats get when they find a warm spot in the sun — they don’t move.
The court ruled that Tether might have breached its supposed agreement by not allowing time for collateral. “It’s like offering a dying deer a sprinting contest against a cheetah!” quipped the judge, probably imagining the courtroom as an absurd sci-fi jungle where every entity is fighting for survival.
In further developments, Tether firmly rejected all claims of wrongdoing, issuing a statement that you would swear was written by an emotionally-charged parakeet. They described Celsius’s lawsuit as a “shakedown,” which is rich coming from a company often compared to the caped crusaders of the crypto world who swoop in to hoard liquidity like squirrels piling away acorns for an endless winter.
But let’s be real: Who wouldn’t want to liquidate an otherworldly pile of Bitcoin at prices as low as a snake’s belly? This latest back-and-forth sounds like the world’s worst game of charades, with everyone yelling “SHUT IT DOWN!” at the same time.
In underwhelming news updates, Celsius’s founder has been sentenced to a not-so-hilarious 12 years in prison for fraud – I mean, who knew cryptocurrency could come with prison terms instead of just “HODL” stickers?
The inconvenience! So here’s our call to action, dear crypto cultists: Why not solve this drama with everyone involved just adopting Bitcoin serving platters as compensation for these so-called losses? Let’s slap those tasty crypto profits on vinyl records while we sip NFT cocktails and toast to the madness!
