LIBRA Scandal Resolution: Javier Milei’s Conduct Deemed Ethical By Anti-Corruption Office

Argentina’s President Javier Milei has been exonerated by the country’s Anti-Corruption Office regarding his involvement in the controversial LIBRA memecoin scandal, which resulted in significant financial losses for investors. The announcement, made by local media, indicates that the office found no legal violations in Milei’s promotion of the cryptocurrency earlier this year. No Legal Breach Found In a resolution released on Friday, the Anti-Corruption Office stated that Milei acted in his capacity as an economist rather than a public official when he endorsed the LIBRA cryptocurrency on social media platform X (previously Twitter) in February. According to the resolution, Milei’s personal account was established long before his presidency and was not linked to any official state actions related to the cryptocurrency. The office, led by Alejandro Melik, who was appointed by Milei’s administration in December 2023, emphasized that no state procedures or contracts involving the LIBRA memecoin were identified. Notably, the Anti-Corruption Office initiated its investigation at Milei’s own request. While the ruling clears Milei of wrongdoing, the case remains under investigation by courts in Argentina, the US, and Spain. In April, Argentina’s lower house voted to form a commission to probe the scandal, but the ruling party has stymied efforts to advance the investigation. LIBRA Scandal Investigated The LIBRA scandal erupted on February 14, when President Milei publicly endorsed the cryptocurrency, claiming it would strengthen the Argentine economy by supporting small businesses. His announcement included a “contract number” that allowed potential investors to locate the token, which was not listed on major exchanges . Initially, the value of LIBRA surged to over $5 but plummeted to nearly worthless within hours, leading to massive losses for thousands of investors. Milei’s collaboration with Hayden Davis, the creator of the LIBRA memecoin, has drawn scrutiny. Reports indicate that Milei met with Davis multiple times prior to the token’s launch, facilitated by Argentine businessmen Mauricio Novelli and Manuel Terrones Godoy. These meetings raised concerns, particularly after Sergio Morales, a former advisor to Argentina’s National Securities Commission (CNV), resigned amid a prosecutor’s investigation into his possible involvement in the scandal. The resolution from the Anti-Corruption Office includes numerous references to US Supreme Court cases and discusses the complexities of distinguishing between personal and institutional responsibilities. It concluded that while Milei occasionally referenced public policies on his personal account, he did so in a non-official capacity, as the account predates his governmental responsibilities. As of now, the memecoin trades at $0.030, down over 96% from its all-time high reached on February 14. However, over the monthly time frame, the token has registered gains of 37%.
