Lawyers File Fraud Charges Against Argentina’s President Javier Milei

Lawyers in Argentina are filing charges against President Javier Milei over alleged fraud related to the Libra token's weekend 'rug pull'.

  • Plaintiffs claim Milei's withdrawal of support messages caused the token's value to plummet, impacting investors.
  • Milei's office stated it was unaware of the token's details and only promoted it as part of its support for local projects.
  • The President's Office highlighted that this promotion is routine for him, aimed at job creation and attracting investments.
  • Prosecutors are set to meet to evaluate whether to pursue the case further.
  • On-chain researchers suggest a connection between the Libra team and the Melania token due to overlapping wallet activity.
