🇦🇷🧐 Is Argentina’s Milei the ultimate crypto scam king?

#MileiEstafador(Milei the scammer) hashtag is trending on X with users posting doctored images of the Argentinian president in prison robes and calling him Scamador for his alleged role in promoting the $LIBRA crypto scheme last week and adding chaos to an already volatile financial landscape.

The nation’s fintech regulator has acknowledged that the case could be a “rug pull” scheme. Javier Milei (https://t.me/SputnikInt/77451) obviously had a stake in this scheme, some observers claim, citing sources in the industry.

Milei could have possibly violated Argentina’s Public Ethic Law that generally forbids government officials from accepting donations, services or goods “as a result of their work in the performance of their public duties." Also, Milei could be possibly charged with fraud since his post manipulated market prices. And even if he was truly ignorant of the nature of the project and did not benefit from it, his action still may be considered a crime given his position.

Milei’s fishy advice comes in the wake of harsh criticism of his “neoliberal devastation” policies that led to poverty hitting 53% after six months of his presidency – a 12% increase annually.
