The investigation into the $ Libra cryptocurrency scandal is a problem that the government is unable to solve in the media arena, where it seeks to impose itself: whatever happened – corruption, ingenuity, political malpractice, or all, with several – nothing could have happened without Milei.
The president knows this and has sewed defenses on social networks and interviews.
In the two long interviews he gave about this episode, he said that the cryptocurrency world is not his forte, and also stressed that those who will bet on a casino know what is exposing themselves.
He also said that the judicial strategy is not his strong point, and that this is a third party issue against third parties.
This hypothesis combines some ingenuity – promoting a casino – with an operation “it was not me”: all that happened was the responsibility of the crupiers and the gamblers, not mine.
The problem is that the government warned that it had nothing to do with everything that happened only after the president’s post promoting the $ Libra cryptocurrency.
There was no prior warning to the “players”, who would never have entered to play if it weren’t for the presidential invitation.
By attaching an intelligent contract to his tweet to the interested party, Milei not only promoted a casino, which is not his forte, but also helped to sell the chips.
Prosecutor Eduardo Taiano is investigating the facts with the initial hypothesis of at least 40,000 victims.
The government’s first reaction was to say that the president had been fooled in his good faith by a group of people who had easily entered into his surroundings.
Therefore, in the first interview – with TV journalist TN Jonatan Viale – Milei said “increasing the size of the walls”, and on Monday – with Luis Majul – said “they are very high”.
The investigation will focus on whether the porosity of the presidential walls was just a well -used carelessness by those who were preparing the land for the fleeting cassino and were naturally received at Casa Rosada and the residence of Olivos.
Tech Forum members, Mauricio Novelli and Manuel Terroes Godoy, now under investigation, founded this company just two months before organizing the event in which Milei met last October with those who would later create at $ Libra.
Also, why the president “presented” A $ Libra – his zodiac sign – 22 seconds after 87 privileged ones bought $ 13 million in zero value “chips”, which after the presidential boost became 5?
The questions the prosecution is trying to answer are: Who defined the moment of the president’s tweet? Did anyone tell you “is it now”? Who planned this synchronized sequence: “we created the token” (at 18:38), “we opened the sale” (at 18:51) and “The President announces” (at 19h01)?
Lawyers who have entered the action of the victims in the United States are using words to go straight to the point.
They speak of “pre -posted insiders” and a “deceitous promotion” encouraged by people defined as Key Opinion Leaders (Kol – Kol – Key Opinion Leaders).
For now, the name of the Argentine president did not appear in the lawsuit.
The government is trying to edit the message by taking Milei out of the focus of a problem that he himself created, but the facts continue to exist.
In this case, the challenge is not to prove the basic facts – which are in sight of all – but the intention of the participants.
Although it is a complex investigation because of its technological matrix, decisive nuances could be found with tools for traditional research: the real texture of the president’s wall and pre -posted “insiders” -for example, tracking telephone contacts -and the direct testimonies of the parties.
For this reason, prosecutor Taiano is requesting the crossing of telephone calls – at least five cell phones have already been identified – and is working on a detailed list of witnesses to be summoned to testify.
