In the "crypt world"
For analysts and crypto specialists, It was a "classic pump and dump", ( Inflate and throw) a fraud consisting of artificially inflating a quote, attract off guard (O, They are aware of the framework, But that seek to get a profit) and then withdraw the funds so that some few earnings.
This is done through the calls memecoins, Virtual currencies that do not have a livelihood in the real economy other than the rage and internet virality.
The "famous post in X of Milei" promoting the crypto that then disappeared, generated discomfort in the industry. For analysts, economists and developers, What happened harms confidence in the crypto market. And can cause uncertainty in the sector that will affect the development and dynamics they had.
United States Justice
The alleged Megaestafa Digital $ Libra arrived in the United States with concern since the injured are not just some Argentines, but there are many regular crypto users in the world who were deceived. That is why the Department of Justice and the Federal Office of Investigations (FBI) He received at least one criminal complaint against the protagonists of mass fraud, which generated illicit profits between 80 Y 100 millions of dollars.
The so -called "criminal operations report" explicitly pointed out the role assumed by President Javier Milei, As also pointed out the roles that the American Hayden Mark Davis assumed, The Singapurense Julian Peh and the Argentine "businessmen" Mauricio Novelli and Manuel Terrones Godoy, of Spanish origin.
The most important complaint was based on an Argentine legal study specialized in cases of international insolvency and financial frauds, Moyano & Associates, which also notified the American Securities Commission (SEC, For its acronym in English) About the criminal maneuvers recorded since Friday night.
Some referents
One of the voices was Petro's, who in his X account made a publication in mockery. “Invest president, In Colombian coffee, is growing in international price as never before. And it is also sold for pounds”
In tune with the indirect and some direct that exchanged between Milei and Petro previously, The latter took advantage of the situation to make fun of the "lion".
Media
Several media outlets in the world had between headlines or more important note this fact, expressing its severity in various ways.
The newspaper El País de España remarked that "Cryptocurrency experts immediately warned of networks that something did not smell well ”, which caused that “when the fate of the currency seemed defined, The troll army defending the president every day he panicked ”.
The newspaper O Globe of Brazil was another of the international media that graph the scandal starring the ultra -right -wing president. “Milei mentions cryptocurrencies in a publication, The collapse currency and the president could become the target of investigation ", The newspaper explained
The news reached the well -known American newspaper The New York Times, that echoed the impact, With an article entitled "The Argentine leader, in the spotlight after the collapse of the cryptocurrency that promoted”.
It's about "one of the strongest controversies that must face since he arrived at the Casa Rosada ”, He assured the ABC newspaper of Spain.
Media specialized in economics
The international portals specialized in economics and finance gave priority to the scandal and the stupor grew. Bloomberg published: “Milei promotes Token crypt and then eliminates publication for fear of fraud ", And he added that the president "Then he said he was not aware of the project details ".
The specialized environment in Co -Intelegraph cryptocurrencies reported that "The Token Libra backed Javier Milei collapses after an informant retired $107 millions".
At the same time that Coindesk explained that the amounts involved in the operation promoted by Milei in his networks and that resulted in the scam: “Javier Milei backwards in his investment in Memecoin de 4400 millions of dollars after the ‘insiders’ were pocketed 87 Millions of dollars ", He affirmed the medium.
Market impact
The "lion of the economy" that is postulated to be "the leader of the ultra -right in the world" , who boasts of being the best economist, aspiring until they are Nobel Prize in the field, is the manager of a mega scam, His participation was key.
Either as a business architect or simply as necessary participation cannot evade your responsibility. A responsibility that will have world implications, In principle before leaders, Economic groups and referents of capitalism its credibility is in doubt.
The actions of the S&P merval fall almost 4% On the first day of operations after the scandal with the Token Libra starring President Javier Milei. While, In local price, Bonds in dollars sink more than 4%.
According to the financial report that the government manages: The actions that lead the falls are bbar cutting more than 10%. It is followed by Galicia Financial Group with -9% and Edenor with -8%. Bonds in dollars sink more than 4% led by bonar 2035 that cuts -4,1%; followed by bonar 2041 that yields almost 4% and the global 2038 falling -3,5%.
An impact crisis, that will not only write chapters in the country but in the world. A new moment for Milei and his government. But faithful to his style and as he likes, The whole world is talking about this mega scam, of your participation and responsibility. The "fool" of Wall Street? O A thief disguised as a monarch? The truth is that in one way or another, be simple lamb cheat or under that skin, The true wolf and scammer be, Milei has to go.
The impressible mercy: "I did not promote a scam, I only disseminated it "
Since last Friday when the president promoted the already famous $ Libra, generating magnitudes of this cryptocysis of which they are still unknown to where they can reach, As the days and hours of details on this scam went and hours, and they made both the president and part of actors close to him were becoming more and more dirty.
Without a doubt, The ruling party infringed itself one of the largest blows that management has received, in all the time it has been ruling. The scam that the president made with the promotion of this cryptocurrency is such, that even the defense of his own players is very unclear.
Nor Bulrrich's statements, nor from Caputo, nor all media engineering mounted by the media related to the libertarian government have been able to dose the consequences of this robbery.
The interview that Milei gave on TN this Monday night, Not even close to clarify the situation, since the president chose to do the same as last Friday in his X profile, Make the disregard of the peculiarities of this crypto project and blame against the opposition. And where the unusual justification for which he promoted this project was for his fanaticism towards technological issues.
As the president said, In the interview with Jonatan Viale, It was an important slapping who received and despite trying to minimize what happened, The consequences that are coming can be quite serious for the life of your government. The magnitude of this scam is such that, Even Milei himself has to do the pantomime of making himself available to justice. The proposed thing to solve this case was that the government itself, With the anti -corruption office at the head, He self -investigates and see the president's implications in this matter, That is to say, The government investigating itself, accompanied by a justice that works in Tandem with the Executive. A proposal that does not close anywhere.
To this complex scenario, The dissemination in networks of a cutting without editing was added hours after the interview that made the interviewee and the interviewer break; When a frontline official appears, Santiago Caputo, cutting the interview and censuring a question not to complicate Milei, All under the docile look of the "journalist" re -over by the Government. The truth of the interview shows that everything is a big lie.
Some consequences of this cryptocyst
So far from the government the statements clarify anything and obscure everything, and the $ LIBRA developers contradict all the president's sayings and their surroundings.
What was initially stipulated as a scam that reached US $ 80 million, now, According to a report by the Blockchain Platform of Solana, The robbery reached US $ 286 million, affecting a total of 74.698 Buyers of this token.
This millionaire robbery can open the door to an interesting crisis that make the government stumble. In less than 72 hours, In National Justice, The president's name received a total of 112 criminal complaints, and at the same time, In international justice, It also begins to be marked, as what happened with the complaint in the FBI. While the tentacles of the iron triangle, formed by the brothers Milei and Santiago Caputo, They have a kind of weight in national justice, The size of this crisis can leave them with a serious injury and not receive the favors that are used to receive from the Judiciary. further, that international accusations open another front in which they have no control.
On the financial side, The government also received another cimbronazo. Regarding the market, This gave a hard response to the president. The actions of the main companies of the country, minutes after starting the stock market, registered a setback from 7%. It is worth clarifying that it was a half response understanding the holiday in the United States.
The change market also showed the magnitude of this blow. The blue dollar recorded a rise in $10 taking it to the $1.230 For sale, and by financial dollars, in spatial the mep, accused an increase in 1,3% leaving it in the $1.201. A complicated scenario, Especially taking into account the problems that the government had been with the stability of the dollar against all devaluation demands.
Investigation, punishment and leave
The president's explanations and his entire environment do not close anywhere. As he demonstrated in the interview with Jonatan Viale, The answer is to disregard any responsibility in this case and justice will be responsible for resolving the destiny of the cause. Against this, The discussion of a serious exit, where the culprits are determined cannot cover actors who have uploaded side by side with Milei.
The scam, made an opposition sector, formed by traditional parties, Call a request for political trial and a investigative commission others. Nevertheless, So far from libertarian management, No tool that is registered within the limits of parliamentary institutionality has proven to have an effect to stop Milei's hand effectively, rather it has been functional. As for the actors who would compose the political trial or the parliamentarians who carry it out, It is necessary to point out, that they could be the same as governance to deploy a violent adjustment program against the working class. So, Given this, It is valid to ask about what would be the real effects that such an action could have, If all traditional forces have contributed so that the government deepens the adjustment, The looting, Hunger and repression. And an element that could be added to this reasoning would be, which character would be at the head of power. Following the path of laws it would be the vice president's denialist, Victoria Villarruel. An exit that could be very expensive for most workers. either way, even to advance a political trial, the decisive thing is to generate a huge mobilization on the street against Milei and its entire plan. There lies the strength to end this sinister character.
On the other hand, también hay que analizar el rol que el Poder Judicial ha tenido hasta este momento. Actualmente y con la lógica que siempre se maneja este poder, su composición está dispuesta a voluntad del poder político de turno. Este escenario deja en claro la incapacidad que esta justicia, adicta, tiene para poder ser imparcial a la hora de expresarse. A este poder judicial también hay que acorralarlo con miles en la calle.
For all these reasons, como decimos desde el MST en el frente de Izquierda, es fundamental poner en pieun proceso de investigación independiente, que vaya a fondo y castigue con dureza a Milei y a todos los responsables de esta estafa millonaria que deberían ir presos. La composición de una comisión independiente a la justicia, que cuente con todas las herramientas necesarias para desvelar todos los detalles de este millonario roboes fundamental para que el presidente pague por esta estafa. You have to go. Y para lograrlo se impone desplegar junto a la investigación profunda un proceso de movilización nacional, paros y todas las acciones que hagan falta contra el jefe de los estafadores y todos su secuaces.
