What traders and investors in cryptocurrency are concerned about Tether?

There are concerns that tether might not be backed by real dollars as they claim and they failed to provide valid evidence of their holdings. Also, some argue about tether being tied to Bitfinex.

One of the biggest opponents to the cryptocurrency Nouriel Roubini tweeted:
