阿根廷總統哈維爾·麥利（Javier Milei

麥利週一駁回了投資者的投訴，稱他的行為“真誠”。他還將投資者的行動與賭徒的行動進行了比較。

Argentine President Javier Milei has denied any involvement in a cryptocurrency rug pull after the collapse of the Libra cryptocurrency over the weekend.

阿根廷總統哈維爾·米利（Javier Milei）否認在周末的天秤座加密貨幣崩潰後，有任何參與加密貨幣地毯的拉力。

Investors complained that Milei’s post on X, which included a link to a site selling Libra, led them to purchase the coin at a high price, only for it to drop quickly.

投資者抱怨說，Milei在X上的帖子，其中包括指向出售天秤座的網站的鏈接，導致他們以高價購買硬幣，只是為了迅速下降。

But Milei dismissed these complaints on Monday, saying that he acted “in good faith.” He also compared investors actions to those of gamblers.

但是麥莉週一駁回了這些投訴，稱他的行為“真誠”。他還將投資者的行動與賭徒的行動進行了比較。

“If you go to a casino and lose money, what’s there to complain about when you knew the risks?” Milei asked.

“如果您去賭場賠錢，當您知道風險時，有什麼要抱怨的？”麥莉問。

The president mentioned the Libra altcoin in a social media post on Friday. The coin immediately rose in value before dropping, causing severe losses for the majority of investors.

總統在周五的社交媒體帖子中提到了天秤座替代幣。硬幣在下降之前立即上漲，給大多數投資者造成嚴重損失。

A judge will decide whether the president should face fraud charges over the incident.

法官將決定總統是否應該面對事件的欺詐指控。

In an interview with Argentine TV channel Todo Noticias on Monday, President Javier Milei discussed the Libra incident after staying unusually quiet on social media over the weekend. He insisted that his post on X, which included a link to a site selling, did not endorse the site.

在周一接受阿根廷電視頻道Todo Noticias的採訪中，總統Javier Milei在周末在社交媒體上保持異常安靜後，討論了天秤座事件。他堅持認為，他在X上的帖子（其中包括指向網站銷售的鏈接）並未認可該網站。

“I didn’t promote it, I merely shared it,” he told Todo Noticias’ Jonny Viale.

他告訴托多西亞斯的喬尼·瓦勒（Jonny Viale），他說：“我沒有宣傳它，我只是分享了它。”

Milei’s post, which he deleted after just a few hours, drew heavy criticism not only from his political rivals in Argentina. The presidential office insisted that Milei had no involvement in the development of Libra. It also announced that the Anti-Corruption Office would investigate whether the president had acted improperly.

麥莉（Milei）在幾個小時後刪除了麥利（Milei）的職位，不僅從阿根廷的政治競爭對手那裡受到了批評。總統辦公室堅持認為，麥利沒有參與天秤座的發展。它還宣布，反腐敗辦公室將調查總統是否行動不正確。

Milei defended deleting his post, explaining that he did not know “the details of the project” at the time and decided not to continue promoting it after learning more.

麥莉（Milei）為刪除他的帖子辯護，解釋說他當時不知道“項目的細節”，並決定在了解更多信息後不繼續推廣。

A federal judge will determine if fraud charges should proceed

聯邦法官將確定是否應進行欺詐指控

Opposition politicians, however, remain unsatisfied with his statements and have threatened to start impeachment proceedings against Milei. Consequently, the scandal threatens to divert Milei’s focus from his radical reform agenda.

然而，反對派政客對他的言論不滿意，並威脅要開始對米利的彈訴訟。因此，醜聞威脅要將麥莉的重點從他的激進改革議程中轉移出來。

A federal judge will decide whether fraud allegations brought against the president by a number of plaintiffs should proceed. In his TV interview, President Javier Milei appeared combative, emphasizing that he had “nothing to hide.” He also stated that those who invested in Libra did so “voluntarily” and were aware of the risks.

聯邦法官將決定是否應繼續對總統提起欺詐指控。總統哈維爾·米利（Javier Milei）在他的電視採訪中表現出了好鬥，他強調他“沒有什麼可隱藏的”。他還說，那些投資天秤座的人“自願”這樣做，並意識到風險。

This isn’t the first time a celebrity endorsement has led to considerable investor losses in the cryptocurrency space.

這不是名人認可第一次導致加密貨幣領域的大量投資者損失。

One notable example of celebrity endorsement leading to significant losses is the case of Hawk Coin. The altcoin project made headlines when it enlisted the Hawk Tuah girl as its spokesperson, using her popularity to attract investors.

霍克硬幣的情況是，導致重大損失的名人認可的一個值得注意的例子。當Altcoin項目邀請霍克·圖阿（Hawk Tuah）女孩擔任發言人時，它是頭條新聞的，以她的知名度吸引投資者。

Unfortunately, the coin failed to live up to its promises. Furthermore many investors found themselves facing considerable financial losses as the project’s value plummeted. The celebrity endorsement, rather than boosting confidence, ultimately became a symbol of the project’s downfall.

不幸的是，硬幣未能兌現其承諾。此外，隨著項目價值暴跌，許多投資者發現自己面臨著巨大的財務損失。名人的認可，而不是增強信心，最終成為該項目垮台的象徵。

Another example is the FTX Exchange, which saw endorsements from several high-profile celebrities, including Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen, and others, as part of a marketing campaign led by FTX’s founder, Sam Bankman-Fried.

另一個例子是FTX Exchange，它看到了來自湯姆·布雷迪（Tom Brady），吉賽爾·邦奇（GiseleBündchen）等幾位備受矚目的名人的認可，這是由FTX創始人Sam Bankman Friede領導的營銷活動的一部分。

These endorsements initially helped boost the exchange’s visibility and attract investors, but when FTX collapsed amid allegations of fraud and mismanagement, many of those who had followed the celebrities’ endorsements suffered severe financial losses. The fallout from the FTX scandal highlighted the risks of celebrity-backed investments, particularly in the volatile cryptocurrency space.

這些認可最初有助於提高交易所的知名度並吸引投資者，但是當FTX在欺詐和管理不善的指控中崩潰時，許多跟隨名人代言的人遭受了嚴重的財務損失。 FTX醜聞的後果強調了名人支持的投資的風險，尤其是在揮發性的加密貨幣領域。
