Argentine Lawyer Requests Global Arrest Warrant for LIBRA Token Creator Hayden Davis
Argentine lawyer Gregorio Dalbon has requested a global arrest warrant for Hayden Davis, the creator of the LIBRA token. Dalbon submitted the request to prosecutor Eduardo Taiano and judge María Servini, who are investigating President Javier Milei‘s involvement in the memecoin. Dalbon has called for Interpol Red Notice to be issued for Davis. This request was reported on March 11 by local media outlets Página 12 and Perfil.
Dalbon stated that if Davis remains free, he could have access to large sums of money, which might allow him to flee the US or go into hiding. “His central role in the creation of LIBRA cryptocurrency, combined with the international impact of the case, increases the likelihood that he may take steps to evade justice,” the filing reportedly stated.
Dalbon, who also represented former Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, has requested Davis’ arrest and an Interpol Red Notice. Interpol is the largest international police organization, capable of issuing Red Notices that request law enforcement agencies worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest someone.
Hayden Davis at the Center of Price Manipulation and Payment Allegations
On February 14, the LIBRA token was created and quickly reached a value of $4 billion. However, its creators, holding the majority of the token’s supply, rapidly sold off their holdings, causing the price to crash. This event has been described by many as a pump-and-dump (price manipulation) scheme.
A few days later, several lawyers filed fraud charges against President Milei in an Argentine criminal court. Milei claimed he did not promote LIBRA but only spread information about it.
Davis, in a lengthy interview with YouTuber Coffeezilla, defended LIBRA as a failure rather than a scam. Davis and his firm Kelsier Ventures were the biggest beneficiaries from the token’s launch. Davis claimed to have earned $100 million but said he did not own the tokens and would not sell them.
It was later reported that Davis sent a message claiming he had paid Milei’s sister Karina to get the president to share the memecoin details on X. However, Davis denied making any such payment and stated there was no record of the message on his phone.
