LIBRA co-founder Hayden Davis claimed he had bribed the sister of the President of Argentina.

PANews reported on February 19th that, according to CoinDesk, a key figure behind the Libra token boasted that he had already spent money to gain access to the core circle of Argentine President Javier Milei, months before the memes scandal and the failed issuance. According to the reviewed text messages, Hayden Davis, CEO of Kelsier Ventures, claimed that he could "control" Milei because he had been paying money to a heavyweight figure in Javier Milei's government who is also the president's sister, Karina Milei. In a text message from mid-December last year, Davis claimed, "I have control over that guy," and added, "I send money to his sister, and he will sign anything I say and act according to my wishes." It is not clear whether there were financial transactions between Davis and Milei's core circle before the Libraissuance. In a text message last December, Davis claimed he could get Milei to promote the project on social media. Two months later, Milei's tweet about Libra fueled a surge in its price. However, after discovering suspicious transactions on the chain, Milei deleted the tweet just five hours after it was posted, by which time Libra's price had plummeted.
