New phone records suggest Argentine President Javier Milei coordinated with operators during the collapse of a multimillion-dollar cryptocurrency project.

Summary

New York Times reporting reveals that court-obtained phone records show Argentine President Javier Milei had frequent contact with a key figure behind the failed Libra cryptocurrency project during its February 2025 launch. Prosecutors are investigating these calls, which occurred immediately before and after Milei promoted the token on social media, potentially contradicting his claims of non-involvement. Additionally, messages recovered from the phone of operator Mauricio Novelli suggest possible financial arrangements, including alleged payments to Milei's inner circle, as authorities continue to treat the President as a person of interest in the $250 million rug pull case.
