The Argentine congressional committee accused President Milei of being involved in the $LIBRA cryptocurrency scam

According to The Block, the Argentine Congressional Investigation Committee has released a final report accusing President Javier Milei of providing key cooperation in the $LIBRA cryptocurrency collapse and suggesting that Congress evaluate whether it constitutes misconduct.

The report shows that Milei promoted the $LIBRA token on his personal social media accounts, after which 8 wallets associated with the Libra team cashed out $107 million, resulting in losses for 114,410 investor wallets. This 200-page report is titled "$LIBRA is Not an Isolated Incident" and reveals a series of systemic issues. The investigation found that the Milei government also promoted a cryptocurrency called the KIP protocol, which experienced a liquidity pool being drained after its launch in December 2024.

The committee believes this indicates the government's intention to bypass regulatory bodies such as the National Securities Commission (CNV). Currently, Milei and Libra founders, including American entrepreneur Hayden Davis, are facing judicial investigations in Argentina and a class-action lawsuit filed by Burwick Law in New York. Milei has denied any wrongdoing and disbanded the special investigative task force established by his office in May, after a judge had previously ordered the Argentine Central Bank to unfreeze the bank accounts of the president and his sister, Karina Milei.
