Libra Commission Concluded That Milei Played a Key Role in Scam

Deputies investigated for four months and in their conclusions made it clear that the publication of the presidential tweet promoting the purchase of the cryptocurrency was essential for thousands of people to trust and be scammed. The president of the commission, the Civic Coalition legislator Maximiliano Ferraro, explained the reasons: 'To date, the president has not explained how he obtained the contract number of the $Libra token that he published, even though said information was not of public circulation.' He also clarified that 'without the promotion carried out by the president on his social network, the $Libra project would not have reached the level of sales recorded' and added: 'There was no justified reason for the 16 meetings held with the actors involved, which are recorded in the entry records to the Olivos residence and the Casa Rosada.' The deputy of the Front of the Left, Cristian Castillo, stressed that the key that confirms the scam and Milei's participation is that he never said where he got the link he posted in his tweet on February 14 to facilitate access to the contract for the purchase of the crypto $Libra. 'Due to all the previous meetings that the president had, it is evident that he was not operating with strangers,' Castillo explained and recounted: 'Neither the president in the interviews he gave, nor Guillermo Francos when he came here to be questioned, nor the members of the ruling party in the debates that there were about $Libra were able to identify where the public order of that link came from.'
