Accounts linked to the developers of LIBRA earned more than 80 million dollars in what appears to be a rug-pull.

Accounts linked to those who launched this token earned over 80 million dollars, according to data analyzed by BubbleMaps.

Minutes ago, just before 1:00 AM (Argentine time) on February 15, Milei deleted the post on X and provided his explanation of the events.

The president stated that he made that post promoting the LIBRA cryptocurrency because he believed he was "supporting a supposed private venture." He clarified that he has no connection to that venture.

Milei adds: "I was not fully aware of the details of the project, and after becoming informed, I decided not to continue promoting it (which is why I deleted the tweet)."

The Argentine president concludes his post with a criticism of "the filthy rats of the political caste who want to take advantage of this situation to cause harm." To them, he directs his final words: "I want to tell you that every day confirms how despicable politicians are, and it strengthens our conviction to kick them out."

As CriptoNoticias reported, many Argentine bitcoiners were disappointed with the president's actions. Clearly—as evidenced by his latest message—the president promoted an alleged scam without being properly informed before making the post.

According to some experts, Milei could face legal consequences for this action, as it would be incompatible with his role as president.
