Argentine President Javier Milei’s name has been embroiled in a scandal associated with the controversial Libra (LIBRA) token. According to local media reports, Hayden Davis, one of Libra’s creators, claimed that Milei paid his sister to get the president to post about the token.
Alleged Money Sent to Milei’s Sister
According to a February 18 report by La Nacion, Hayden Davis, CEO of Kelsier Ventures and known to be linked to the Libra token, sent messages to a crypto investment firm executive claiming that he paid Karina Milei to get Javier Milei the publicity he wanted.
In one of the messages, Davis allegedly used the following statements:
- “We can get Milei to tweet, we can get her face to face and we can get her promoted.”
- “I send her money and she does whatever I want.”
Davis, however, said he did not remember sending these messages and there was no record of them on his phone. He also denied making any payments to the Milei family.
Karina Milei’s Role and Involvement in the Scandal
Karina Milei, Javier Milei’s sister, currently serves as the Secretary General of the Argentine Presidency and is considered one of the president’s closest advisors. It is not yet clear whether Karina Milei, who accompanies Milei on his official trips abroad, is involved in such a financial deal.
Milei: “I Didn’t Advertise, I Just Shared”
President Javier Milei has defended himself against fraud lawsuits alleging that he promoted the Libra token. “I didn’t promote it, I just announced it, ” he said in an interview with Todo Noticias on February 17.
Milei also stated that he had “nothing to hide” and “acted in good faith”. However, he acknowledged that he had learned from the incident and that in the future he would “need to filter what content is appropriate to share and what is not.”
Milei also emphasized that the state should not play a role in such matters, saying, “Only the parties involved are responsible here, the state has no role. “
Conclusion: Is the Scandal Deepening?
- Milei has denied any direct connection to the Libra token, but the allegations have caused a public outcry.
- While the opposition has called for the impeachment of the head of state, Davis’ messages may cause the incident to deepen.
- Libra token victims are exploring legal avenues to recover their losses.
While this scandal has increased pressure on the Milei government, it is predicted that the Libra token incident could lead to larger-scale investigations.
