I can’t say myself, of course. But he’s always struck me as an actor. Playing a role. Typical of the political class. Not sure why he was considered authentic, but, there it is!
Recent news out of Argentina suggests that Milei may have enriched himself, underhandedly. You know, like a thief. Another darling of the self identified “right” One thing I know about Argentina, they have a long history of being exploited/plundered by their leadership.

An Argentine law firm filed a criminal complaint with the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Feb. 17, pointing to the protagonists behind the downfall of the LIBRA token, according to Clarin, a newspaper in Argentina. The complaint also asks that the role of Argentine President Javier Milei be investigated
These latest legal challenges build on earlier criminal charges filed in Argentina, accusing Milei of participating in fraud by endorsing the token.
President Milei may ultimately face impeachment charges after the country’s fintech chamber acknowledged that LIBRA could be a rug pull.
A rug pull is a scenario in the cryptocurrency world where developers abandon a project after raising assets, leaving participants with worthless tokens.
Rug pulls can occur in various forms, including liquidity pulls, fake projects, pump and dump schemes, and team exits.
“This scandal, which embarrasses us on an international scale, requires us to launch an impeachment request against the president,” opposition lawmaker Leandro Santoro told Reuters on Feb. 16.
Hayden Davis, the self-proclaimed “launch strategist” behind the $4.6 billion $LIBRA crash, sat down for a second interview in less than 24 hours—this time with Dave Portnoy.
Just hours after a grilling from Coffeezilla this morning, Hayden faced another interrogation about the missing $100 million, the collapse of the token, and the involvement of Argentinian President Javier Milei.
“Why didn’t you put the money back in when the coin started tanking?” Dave asked. “Who told you not to?” Hayden had an answer: Javier’s team. He claimed they delayed the reinjection of funds, telling him to wait for a second Javier video that never came.
Instead, Javier deleted his endorsement tweet, distanced himself, and left Hayden holding the bag. “I was told not to inject it until the next push,” Hayden said. “Then the tweet got deleted, and I’m just sitting there with this money that’s not even mine.”
$LIBRA collapse triggered by snipers and failed political backing
The $LIBRA collapse wasn’t just about Javier walking away, Hayden said. According to him, three massive wallets—one of them holding between $55 and $60 million—were waiting to dump the token at any moment. If those wallets had sold at the top, the market would have crashed anyway. “Even if I reinjected all the liquidity, we were at the mercy of those wallets,” Hayden told Dave.
The launch, he claimed, was built around a three-stage plan:
- Javier’s first tweet to drive initial hype.
- A second Javier tweet and a video endorsement to push the price higher.
- A wave of support from other influencers and politicians to sustain momentum.
The second tweet never came. Instead, Javier’s team ghosted Hayden, deleted the tweet, and left $LIBRA in freefall. The price collapsed within hours, taking billions in market cap with it.
“This was not a rug pull,” Hayden insisted. “It was supposed to be a long-term project. But when the people backing it suddenly back away, what do you do?”
Who really owns the $100 million?
The biggest question surrounding Hayden’s role is actually about the money still sitting in limbo. The $100 million in liquidity hasn’t been touched, and Hayden claims he doesn’t even know who it belongs to.
“It’s not my money,” Hayden said in the interview. “It’s Argentina’s. Or at least, that’s what I was told.”
Hayden didn’t explain what that meant legally. But he did confirm one thing—he isn’t moving the funds without direction. “I’m not running off with it,” he said. “I’ve got no intention of touching it unless I know exactly where it’s supposed to go.”
But that uncertainty has made him a target. He told Dave he’s received threats, been doxxed, and fears for his safety. “People are coming after my family,” he said. “My number’s out there, my location’s out there. I don’t feel safe.”
“Who’s threatening you?” Dave asked.
Hayden hesitated. “People who don’t want me touching the money.”
Hayden didn’t hold back on Javier’s role in the launch. According to him, he was in direct contact with representatives from Javier’s team, and they assured him the Argentinian president was fully on board. The token was pitched as a project to benefit small businesses in Argentina, which is why Hayden thought it would have real-world value beyond speculation.
