Argentine President Milei may be suspected of profiting $5 million by promoting the LIBRA token
According to Argentine media El Destape, forensic experts extracted an unpublished document from intermediary Mauricio Novelli's phone, detailing the payment agreement for the Libra token scam, totaling 5 million dollars, primarily pointing to Argentine President Milei.
The document shows that the agreement is divided into three payments: an initial payment of 1.5 million dollars in tokens or cash as an advance; a second payment of 1.5 million dollars, contingent on Milei announcing Hayden Davis (CEO of Kelsier Ventures) as his advisor on Twitter; and a final payment of 2 million dollars, contingent on Milei signing a contract regarding blockchain/AI government consulting in person with his sister Karina. The document was created on February 11, 2025, just three days before Milei posted the relevant tweet and the Libra token went live.
Call records have also drawn attention. The forensic report shows that Milei had multiple calls with Novelli within minutes before and after the tweet was posted, and his sister Karina was also in frequent contact; after the token price plummeted that night, Milei's advisor Santiago Caputo joined the call circle late at night, with call records indicating that all parties continued to coordinate in response to the crisis.
