The text messages of key figures in LIBRA have been exposed, boasting that they can control the Arge

Although it has been several days since the issuance of the Libra meme coin, the political storm of Argentine President Javier Milei seems to be just beginning. Recently, Hayden Davis, who is considered a core member of the Libra project (although he claims to be just an advisor), was exposed for boasting about using funds to influence the Javier Milei government and even claiming to be able to "control" the president himself.

According to CoinDesk, Kelsier Ventures CEO Hayden Davis claimed in December 2024 that he influenced Argentine President Javier Milei's decisions through funding. Hayden Davis wrote in the text message:

I control that n * *. If I give money to his sister, he will sign everything I say and do it according to my wishes

Davis' "sister" refers to Karina Milei, who currently serves as the Secretary General of the Argentine Presidential Office and is one of Javier Milei's most important aides. After the SMS was exposed, Hayden Davis Spokesperson Michael Padovano quickly responded, denying that Hayden Davis had provided funds to Milei or her family and calling it political smear.

Review of the Libra Meme Coin Scam

This political scandal began with the recent collapse of the cryptocurrency Libra. On February 15th, Javier Milei Promote Libra on social media, calling it an innovative tool to help small businesses in Argentina raise funds, attracting a large number of investors.

However, this Solana based blockchain token skyrocketed to $5 in just a few hours before crashing 95%, resulting in significant losses for investors. Memory blockchain data display, Hayden Davis Kelsier Ventures' wallet has already cashed out over $100 million in the early stages of Libra's issuance, while ordinary investors have suffered heavy losses due to the price collapse.

It is worth noting that after Javier Milei's tweet, Libra experienced a surge, but only 5 hours later, he deleted the tweet. This move further triggered market panic, causing token prices to plummet.

The opposition is pushing for impeachment of the president

As the scandal escalates, the Argentine opposition has called for impeachment proceedings against Javier Milei, accusing him of abuse of power and involvement in financial fraud.

Local media even referred to this matter as the 'Criptogate' and pointed out that it is one of the largest political and financial scandals in Argentine history. In addition, the incident has had a serious impact on the Argentine stock market, shaking investor confidence and leading to a widespread decline in the market. At present, the Argentine government has launched an internal investigation in an attempt to clarify the relationship between Miller and Libra, as well as the extent of Hayden Davis' influence.

However, regardless of the investigation results, this scandal has plunged Javier Milei into an unprecedented crisis, and his political future is likely to be significantly impacted.
