A key player behind the Token de Libra boasted to buy access to the intimate circle of Argentine president Javier Milei months before the launch and a scandalous blockade of Memecoin.
In the text messages reviewed by Coindesk, Hayden Davis, CEO of Kelsier Ventures, he said he could “control” Milei due to the payments he had been doing to Karina Milei, a powerful figure in the government of Milei, not to mention to the president of the president.
“I control that N ****,” Davis said in text messages since mid -December, adding: “Shipping $$ to his sister and he signs what I say and does what I want.”
Karina Milei’s office did not respond to a request for comments. Davis did not respond to multiple requests for comments.
It was not clear if money was exchanged between Davis and Milei’s intimate circle before the launch of Libra.
Davis’ statements in December add a new dimension to an anti -corruption investigation that the presidential office of Argentina opened to Javier Milei, who, on February 15, caught attention to the Cryptographic Cryptographic of Libra as a new way of financing small companies in that country.
But the winner of Memecoin’s launch -based in Solana was Davis and Kelsier Ventures. The wallets controlled by the entities obtained more than $ 100 million in the first hours of Libra, when it was fired at $ 5 and then collided more than 95%, eliminating millions of dollars of speculative investments.
Opposition leaders in Argentina have threatened to request a trial of political trial on the incident, which the local press has coined “Critpogate”. The scandal is weighing in the Argentine stock market and pushed Milei to “damage control,” said an observer of the country’s cryptographic space.
In December text messages, Davis said he could get Milei to promote companies on social networks. Milei’s tweet over Libra two months later fed his increase. When he eliminated the tweet after only five hours, and after the detectives in the chain had discovered evidence of shaded treatment, the price of Libra had already crashed.
