Washington, February 18 (RHC)-- The Javier Milei scandal reached the United States, with the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) receiving “reports of criminal operations” for the crypto $Libra.

The multimillion-dollar scam with cryptocurrencies was reported in the United States, while in Argentina Javier Milei has already accumulated more than 100 criminal complaints.

“We request that the Department of Justice investigate the role of the President of the Argentine Republic, Javier Milei, in this scam, given that he has promoted it and in the past promoted several ventures that turned out to be scams,” says the complaint filed by Moyano & Asociados.

The law firm, which claimed to be specialized in international insolvency and financial fraud cases, demanded that the president be investigated for fraud, for the promotion of $Libra, a cryptocurrency that had a rapid rise in its price since the Government's promotion until its collapse a few hours later.

Moyano & Asociados also notified the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), while pointing out that they represent mostly Argentine investors, but that there are thousands of affected people, including Americans.

In total, according to the platform The Solana Post, the operation affected 74,698 people, who lost more than 286 million dollars.

According to the Argentine media Página 12, the report points out the role played in the scam by the Argentine president Javier Milei, the American Hayden Mark Davis, the Singaporean Julian Peh and the "businessmen" Mauricio Novelli and Manuel Terrones Godoy.
