Poland charges three ex-Orlen managers over $378M oil deals

  • Losses from three oil purchase contracts estimated at $378 million
  • OTS paid a $230 million advance but did not receive most of the volume
  • Part of the funds was converted to USDT and routed through a Dubai intermediary
  • Of $135 million converted, only $85 million reached the recipient
Why it matters: The case shows how stablecoins are used to circumvent sanctions and why USDT settlements do not eliminate counterparty risk.
