Argentina President Javier Milei charged with fraud over cryptocurrency promotion
ai generated text
Javier Milei was charged with fraud for promoting a cryptocurrency called $LIBRA. He posted about the coin on social media, claiming it was designed to encourage economic growth. The post was removed, causing a sharp drop in the currency's value. Critics have accused Milei of involvement in the rapid rise and fall of the cryptocurrency. A judge is investigating Milei's relationship with $LIBRA, and some opposition politicians have warned that he could face an impeachment trial. Milei has denied promoting the cryptocurrency, stating that he only shared information about it. Prosecutors will examine whether Milei engaged in fraud or criminal association.
The president shared a post on his personal accounts announcing the launch of KIP Protocol's project, as he does daily with many entrepreneurs who wish to launch projects in Argentina to create jobs and attract investments.
Despite prior commitments, Milei and his team unexpectedly changed their position, withdrawing their support and deleting all previous posts on social media.
Within this illicit association, the crime of fraud was committed, in which the president's actions were essential.
We denounce Milei as being part of an illicit association that organized a scam with the $LIBRA cryptocurrency that simultaneously affected more than 40,000 people with a loss of more than $4 billion.
It was right to acknowledge that a mistake was made, that certain things need to be corrected, and that an investigation is necessary.
It's a blow to the president's economic credentials, to his honesty, and to his status as a global reference point.
For the government to sustain its current economic model, which has seen the exchange rate rise sharply, it needs an influx of fresh funds from the IMF.
The result? Only nine people earned $87 million (€83 million), while more than 44,000 others lost everything they put in (...) a Ponzi scheme across the board, promoted by Javier Milei.
