Recently, the President of Argentina, Javier Milei, has been involved in a controversy related to the promotion of a cryptocurrency called $LIBRA. Last Friday, February 9, 2025, Milei promoted the currency on his social media, which initially led to a significant appreciation of the asset. However, shortly after, the value of $LIBRA plummeted, resulting in substantial financial losses for many investors. It is estimated that around 44,000 people were affected, with losses totaling approximately 90 million dollars.
Faced with accusations of fraud and illicit association, Milei denied any direct responsibility, stating that he only shared information about the cryptocurrency and that he was not involved in its development. He also requested an anti-corruption investigation to determine possible irregularities
