Recently, a scandal has arisen around the digital token $LIBRA after President Javier Milei made a recommendation about it, generating great controversy. In such maneuvers, early buyers usually inflate the value of the token to then sell massively, which leaves many investors with significant losses. From the presidential environment, it was confirmed that there was no hacking in this incident.
Fernando Cerimedo, director of La Derecha Diario and technological manager of Javier Milei's digital strategy, is a key figure in this event. Cerimedo gained prominence for his work in political campaigns and in movements of the far-right in Latin America. During the $LIBRA controversy, he published an enigmatic tweet that added more intrigue to the matter.
The token $LIBRA is not a conventional cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or Ethereum, but rather a token created on the Solana blockchain, lacking its own network and solid technological development. These speculative tokens, which are often vulnerable to price manipulation, generate high interest from investors. In this case, reported data indicates that more than 500 million dollars were traded in the first hour of the token's operations, an extraordinarily high volume for a recently launched asset, raising suspicions about possible price manipulation schemes such as 'pump and dump'.
Javier Milei's recommendation regarding the $LIBRA token and its subsequent sharp decline have sparked doubts about whether there was fraud or intentional manipulation in this event. Despite the controversy, it was confirmed by the Argentine News Agency that it was not a hack of the president's account, laying the groundwork for a deeper investigation into what happened.
