LIBRA: alleged payments to the Argentine President’s sister to promote the token

Hayden Davis allegedly boasted about paying Karina Milei to secure the President’s support in promoting the token.

According to La Nacion, Hayden Davis, CEO of Kelsier Ventures and a key figure behind LIBRA’s launch, claimed to have made payments to President Javier Milei’s sister in exchange for promoting the token on X.

In messages reviewed by the newspaper, Davis allegedly told an executive from a crypto investment firm that he could exercise “control” over the Argentine President through payments to his sister Karina.

One message from December reads:

“We can also have Milei tweet and meet in person and do promote.”

Another message attributed to Davis states:

“I send $$ to his sister and he signs whatever I say and does what I want.”

When asked for comment, Davis denied through a spokesperson that he had sent such messages or made payments to Milei’s sister. Davis and Kelsier Ventures were among the main beneficiaries of the rug pull, with alleged profits of around $100 million.

Karina Milei, who serves as General Secretary of the Presidency, has remained silent on the matter. In a recent interview with Todo Noticias, President Milei dismissed allegations of fraudulent promotion raised in several lawsuits, claiming he had merely “shared information.”
