      Polish Energy Company Faces $230 Million Loss in Failed Oil Deal Involving USDT

      Tether's stablecoin USDT has been implicated in a failed oil transaction that resulted in a significant financial loss for Polish state-owned energy company Orlen. The deal, which took place at the end of 2023, involved the procurement of 6 million barrels of crude oil from Venezuela's state oil company PDVSA, which had begun requiring payments in USDT to circumvent U.S. financial sanctions.

      In November 2023, Samer Awad, a former executive at Orlen's trading subsidiary, facilitated the transaction, leading to a $230 million advance payment made by Orlen to Dubai-based Hannon International Middle East. However, the majority of the funds went missing during the transfer process through various cryptocurrency brokers, leaving Orlen with only about $29 million worth of crude oil before the contract was terminated.

      The financial trail revealed that Hannon exchanged $400,000 in commission for $80 million in USDT and transferred $135 million to Horizon Global, which claimed to have received only $85 million in USDT. In January 2024, Hannon employees delivered two USB drives containing $60 million and $50 million in USDT to brokers in Caracas. Following these developments, the Warsaw regional prosecutor's office announced an investigation in January 2025 into the oil contracts, which are linked to losses totaling approximately $378 million.
