Christopher Harborne and AML Global Ltd. have sued The Wall Street Journal for defamation, accusing the outlet of claiming in a March 2023 article that the companies were involved in fraud, money laundering and terrorism financing. It is reported that in a report related to "Crypto Companies Behind Tether Used Falsified Documents and Shell Companies to Get Bank Accounts" (Crypto Companies Behind Tether Used Falsified Documents and Shell Companies to Get Ba), the Wall Street Journal stated that Tether and its sister company Bitfinex was "working to maintain its access to the global banking system" and included several analyzes of two companies, Christopher Harborne and AML Global Ltd., but those statements were subsequently removed.
