Yep, pretty much. The price on the exchange is some real dollars + a whole bunch of made up tether dollars.

IF that is the case you would start to see, if not already, a disconnect from the exchange price compared to the face to fce for cash price as might be seen on local bitcoins. I have not looked at local bitcoins recently so some research will be done.

If we can see local bitcoins price consistently above/below exchange price this would seem to confirm the exchange price is artificial.
