🚫How Hayden Davis allegedly scammed $21M — and vanished without consequences
A little-known figure, Hayden Davis went from obscure LinkedIn projects to advising Argentina's President Milei on tokenization in 2024.
Using this position, Davis helped launch the LIBRA token — hyped by Milei himself. Insiders front-ran the news, pumping the token to a $4B market cap before it collapsed. Davis and his firm, Kelsier, began cashing out.
He was also linked to $MELANIA and other meme token launches via Meteora, allegedly extracting millions with help from insiders.
Post-scandal:
– $2.4M moved to Kamino, earning $134K/year
– $1.2M deposited on Aave, earning $41K/year
– Now making ~$175K/year passively
Despite public backlash and political fallout, Davis remains free — a case study in how crypto hype, politics, and zero accountability can collide.
