Argentine lawyer Gregorio Dalbon requests a global arrest warrant for Hayden Davis, co-creator of the LIBRA token, amid a political scandal. A filing suggests Davis could flee or go into hiding due to access to significant funds. Dalbon seeks an Interpol Red Notice to locate and arrest Davis for extradition.
LIBRA, a token promoted by Argentine President Javier Milei, crashed in value after its creators sold off most of the supply, sparking accusations of a pump-and-dump scheme. Fraud charges were filed against Milei for promoting the token, leading to legal action in both Argentina and the US.
Davis defended LIBRA as a failure, not a scam, and claimed he made around $100 million from its launch. Reports surfaced of Davis allegedly offering to pay Milei’s sister to promote the token, although he denied making such payments. The situation highlights the risks and legal consequences of promoting memecoin scams.
