Charles Hoskinson Reveals Bribery Request Behind
Controversial Photo with Argentine President
$ADA Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, has opened up about a controversial moment tied to the LIBRA scandal, shedding light on a bribery attempt linked to a photo he took with Argentine President Javier Milei. In his recent statements, Hoskinson recounted how certain figures, allegedly connected to the LIBRA initiative, had demanded a bribe to facilitate a private meeting with Milei during a Tech Forum event in Argentina.
Hoskinson explained that the photograph, which stirred public interest in the aftermath of the LIBRA scandal, was taken during an event in Buenos Aires. According to him, the organizers of the event, who were reportedly part of the team behind LIBRA, initially promised him a private meeting with President Milei. However, upon arrival in Argentina, Hoskinson was told that if he didn’t pay, he would only be allowed a brief handshake with Milei and a spot in the group photo. This came after the organizers suggested that a financial contribution was required for any further interaction with the president.
"The organizers subtly implied that paying a certain amount would lead to a more meaningful meeting, saying, ‘If you give us something, magic things can happen.’ When I raised concerns about this, pointing out that such actions would violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), they immediately fell silent," Hoskinson revealed.
This incident adds another layer of controversy to the LIBRA saga, highlighting the challenges that come with navigating international business and politics. Hoskinson's decision to speak out serves as a reminder of the importance of integrity in both the crypto space and broader business dealings.
