A project announcement linked to Argentina’s President Javier Milei and the Libra token project has emerged, based on a $500,000 payment agreement outlined in a document dated February 11, 2025. The deal included three payments contingent on Milei’s public endorsement and a contract with Hayden Davis. Davis, who met Milei and his sister at the presidential palace, is likely the “H” referenced. The document came to light amid Argentina’s investigation into a crypto scandal. New token listings remain a key focus for the industry as the situation develops.

PANews, March 15: According to Argentine media El Destape, a previously undisclosed document extracted from the phone of intermediary Mauricio Novelli reveals that a $5 million payment agreement was drafted for the LIBRA cryptocurrency token project, with the majority of the funds allegedly tied to support for Argentine President Javier Milei. The document outlines three payment installments: an initial $1.5 million (in tokens or cash) as an advance; a second $1.5 million contingent upon Milei publicly announcing Hayden Davis as his advisor on social media; and a final $2 million payable only after Milei and his sister Karina Milei sign a government consulting contract related to blockchain or AI in person. The document was created on February 11, 2025—three days before Milei posted the related tweet that triggered the $LIBRA controversy. The report also states that “H” likely refers to Hayden Davis, CEO of Kelsier Ventures, who met with the Milei siblings at the Argentine presidential palace prior to the incident. The document is said to have been obtained through a forensic examination of related devices by Argentina’s prosecutorial technical investigation unit and has now become one of the key pieces of evidence in the ongoing investigation into the “crypto scandal.”
