#MileiMemeCoinControversy "Indeed, Milei did not scam 100 or 200, Milei scammed his country, a historic scam that will eventually take its toll on his own people," said the Venezuelan official at a press conference broadcast by Venezolana de Televisión VTV.

Milei, in an interview with the channel Todo Noticias TN, stated this Monday that he disseminated, but did not promote the cryptocurrency $LIBRA and refused to take responsibility for those affected by the sudden collapse of that asset, whom he referred to as "volatility operators" and compared to casino players, saying they are "hyper-specialists" who "knew very well what they were getting into." "They are volatility operators; none were unaware of what was happening. If you go to the casino and lose money, what is the complaint?" he said in a lengthy interview recorded this Monday in his office at the Casa Rosada.

"I did not promote it; I only disseminated it. I am a techno-enthusiast, and that project was to finance those who are entrepreneurs and do not have access to the formal market. I thought it was an interesting tool. When the Libra project became public, I gave it publicity," he justified.
