>bought my trezor through amazon
that's even worse. If you bought from a 3rd party they likely hacked the physical device to get the backup seed phrase before selling it to you. They can take your shit at any time.
I'm super paranoid about this shit, so I have not bought a hardware wallet. I like the concept, but not with these sort of blunders happening.

Is there any way of buying a ledger or trezor from the manufacturer WITHOUT having to dox yourself? Pay with crypto, use an alias, have it shipped to a PO box or your workplace or something?

Isn't shorting tether a 100% risk-free venture?
If the fud is true and it goes to zero, you make a shitload of money
