Argentine president reportedly spoke with Libra founder seven times late at night before and after posting Libra-related content on X.

CoinFeed reported on April 7th that, according to The New York Times, Argentine President Javier Milei promoted a cryptocurrency called $Libra last year. The coin experienced a meteoric rise followed by a rapid collapse, resulting in millions of dollars in losses for investors and sparking scandals and investigations. Milei previously claimed he had no connection to the digital currency and was merely promoting a private project. However, newly released court documents show that Milei spoke with the founders of $Libra seven times late at night in 2025, around the time he posted content related to $Libra on social media platform X. Furthermore, newly discovered message records suggest that Milei regularly received funds from one of the founders while serving as a member of Congress. Milei has not yet responded to these allegations. He is listed as a "person of interest" in the federal prosecutor's investigation but has not yet been formally charged with any crime.
