Stuart Hoegner, the long-time general counsel of sister firms Tether and Bitfinex, appears to have left the firm. This is based on a change to his bio on X, which now reads, “Former GC @Bitfinex @Tether_to.”
This ends a decade at these firms. Hoegner originally joined Bitfinex back in 2014, according to his LinkedIn account.
Archives for Tether’s “About Us” page show that Hoegner was still listed as the firm’s general counsel as recently as Christmas Eve.

Now the page only lists Chief Exec Paolo Ardoino, Chief Financial Officer Giancarlo Devasini, and Chief Operating Officer Claudia Lagorio.
For Bitfinex’s part, archives show that Hoegner was still listed in November but currently isn’t.
Tether recently removed its Chief Compliance Officer Leonardo Real, while Bitfinex removed its Chief Compliance Cfficer Peter Warrack from these “About Us” pages.
Protos reached out to Bitfinex and Tether to determine the identity of their current general counsel, but at press, neither had responded. Protos additionally reached out to Gaming Counsel, a firm run by Hoegner, but at press had not received a response.
