Argentina’s President Caught in $LIBRA Crypto Scandal
Argentina faces a mounting political and legal crisis following the collapse of the $LIBRA cryptocurrency. President Javier Milei’s earlier endorsement of the token has drawn intense scrutiny, transforming what began as a meme coin promotion into a full-blown scandal. Asset freezes and criminal complaints now target key figures linked to the project, including Mauricio Novelli, Manuel Terrones Godoy, and Sergio Morales.
Judge María Servini has frozen assets of individuals involved in $LIBRA’s launch, signaling escalating legal repercussions. The scandal underscores the risks of political figures endorsing speculative crypto assets, with retail investors bearing the brunt of the fallout.
