Argentine lawmakers back Milei probe in Libra crypto scandal
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LInkedIn



Lawmakers in Argentina’s Chamber of Deputies backed an investigation into President Javier Milei’s alleged involvement in the Libra (LIBRA) cryptocurrency scandal.

According to an April 8 report by local news outlet Buenos Aires Times, deputies in the lower house voted 128 to 93 in favor, with seven abstentions. The same proposal previously failed to move forward in the Senate.

The news follows Milei promoting the LIBRA memecoin on social media. With the Argentine president leveraging his credibility as a government official and his 3.8 million followers, the token quickly reached $5, briefly touching a market cap of $4 billion.

Milei has since faced accusations of wrongdoing, with critics claiming that LIBRA was a rug-pull scam and that he lured investors in. Lawyer Jonatan Baldiviezo, alongside Marcos Zelaya, engineer María Eva Koutsovitis and economist Claudio Lozano, a former head of Argentina’s central bank, filed a lawsuit against Milei, accusing him of fraud.

A presidential-scale disaster

According to Baldiviezo, Milei’s promotion was instrumental in an “illicit association” with the promoters of the cryptocurrency. The non-governmental organization Observatorio del Derecho a la Ciudad shared the concerns and filed a case that accused the president of promoting a scheme that reportedly resulted in over 40,000 investors losing more than $4 billion.

February onchain data showed that the hardest hit investors of the LIBRA memecoin pump and dump scheme lost a combined $251 million. Blockchain data shows that of the 15,430 wallets that sold at a profit or loss of more than $1,000, over 86% of those sold at a loss, resulting in a total of $251 million lost.

Despite numerous sources showing his social media posts, in mid-February, Milei denied claims that he promoted LIBRA. He said at the time:

“I did not promote that. What I did, I spread the word.”

A reported family business

One of the creators behind the controversial Libra crypto token reportedly sent a text message bragging about being able to pay Argentine President Javier Milei’s sister in exchange for the president sharing the memecoin’s details on social media. According to February reports, Hayden Davis — a person connected to the project — sent a message to a crypto investment firm executive saying that he could pay Karina Milei for “control” over the Argentine president:

“We can also have Milei tweet and meet in person and do promo. […] I send $$ to his sister and he does whatever I say and does what I want.”
