自由主義者總統候選人哈維爾·麥利（Javier Milei）因涉嫌參與天秤座加密貨幣醜聞而受到調查

調查阿根廷總統賈維爾·麥利（Javier Milei）涉嫌參與天秤座加密貨幣醜聞的首席檢察官要求凍結多達1.1億美元的資產。

Argentine Federal Prosecutor Eduardo Taiano is seeking to freeze up to $110 million in assets and recover deleted social media posts as part of the investigation into President Javier Milei’s alleged involvement in the LIBRA cryptocurrency scam, local reports said on Monday.

當地的報告稱，阿根廷聯邦檢察官Eduardo Taiano正在尋求凍結多達1.1億美元的資產，並收回已刪除的社交媒體帖子，這是對總統賈維爾·米利（Javier Milei）涉嫌參與天秤座加密貨幣騙局的調查的一部分。

The prosecutor, who is also investigating the alleged fraudulent activity of those involved in the LIBRA token, has requested the recovery of deleted social media posts, including those by Milei promoting the Solana-based memecoin, stated Clarín.

檢察官還調查了涉嫌參與天秤座令牌的人的欺詐活動，他要求恢復已刪除的社交媒體帖子，包括米利（Milei）宣傳總部位於索拉納（Solana）的Memecoin的帖子。

He also requested detailed records of all LIBRA transactions since its launch with the aim of reconstructing financial operations around Feb. 14 to 15, when the memecoin’s trade volume was highest.

他還要求對所有天秤座交易進行詳細記錄，自2月14日至15日左右重建金融業務以來，當Memecoin的貿易量最高時，他的目的是重建金融業務。

Those requests are part of a broader investigation into the LIBRA token, which was launched in December and touted as a way to help small Argentine businesses and startups.

這些請求是對天秤座代幣進行更廣泛調查的一部分，該請求於12月推出，並吹捧為幫助小阿根廷企業和初創公司的一種方式。

However, the token’s price began to plummet on Feb. 13, and by the time it bottomed out on Feb. 14, it had lost almost 90% of its value.

但是，代幣的價格於2月13日開始下降，到2月14日觸底時，它損失了近90％的價值。

The rapid crash, which saw LIBRA’s market cap evaporate from highs of $4.5 billion to as low as $500 million, sparked accusations of an insider rug pull, leading to several lawsuits and a federal investigation.

這次快速墜機事故使天秤座的市值從45億美元的最高點蒸發到低至5億美元的低價，引發了對內部地毯的指控，導致了幾項訴訟和聯邦調查。

As part of his investigation, Taiano has requested the freezing of identified digital wallets to prevent fund dispersal and drafted international requests to access information from foreign cryptocurrency exchanges, the report added.

報告補充說，作為調查的一部分，Taiano要求凍結已識別的數字錢包，以防止基金分散並起草國際請求，以訪問外國加密貨幣交易所的信息。

Despite Milei deleting his initial endorsement, at least eight wallets identified as insiders linked to the Libra team managed to cash out as much as $107 million before the token crashed, according to data shared by the Kobeissi Letter.

儘管麥莉（Milei）刪除了他的最初認可，但根據科貝西信（Kobeissi）的數據，在代幣墜毀之前，至少有八個被確定為與天秤座團隊相關的內部人的錢包，但在代幣墜毀之前兌現了1.07億美元。

Investigators have already identified a recent movement of $4.5 million from a wallet connected to the scandal to a new address, with some funds used to purchase a memecoin called POPE, potentially as an attempt to launder the funds speculated Clarín.

調查人員已經確定了最近從與醜聞相關的錢包到新地址的450萬美元轉移，其中一些資金用於購買名為Pope的Memecoin，這可能是為了洗錢的資金猜測Clarín。

The prosecutor has requested phone records and visitor logs from the presidential residence and office while creating a list of blockchain experts and people close to the presidential circle who might have relevant information.

檢察官已要求從總統居住和辦公室提供電話記錄和訪客日誌，同時創建了可能擁有相關信息的總統圈子的區塊鏈專家和人們的清單。

Earlier this year, Libertarian Milei faced calls for impeachment after being implicated by the Argentine press in the LIBRA cryptocurrency scam.

今年早些時候，自由主義者麥莉（Milei）在阿根廷新聞界與天秤座加密貨幣騙局中牽涉到援助之後，面臨彈imp的呼籲。

The billionaire economist, who is a strong contender in the upcoming 2023 presidential elections, was named in reports as having endorsed the LIBRA token.

這位億萬富翁經濟學家是即將舉行的2023年總統選舉中有力的競爭者，在報導中被任命為認可天秤座令牌。

However, Milei has adamantly denied any wrongdoing and claims that he is the victim of a political conspiracy.

但是，麥利堅決否認有任何不當行為，並聲稱他是政治陰謀的受害者。

The Libra token briefly reached a peak market capitalization of $4.5 billion on Feb. 14 before tanking over 90% in less than 12 hours, sparking accusations of an insider rug pull and the consequent lawsuits and federal investigation.

天秤座代幣在2月14日短暫達到了45億美元的峰值市值，然後在不到12小時的時間內降低了90％以上，這引發了指控內部地毯的指控以及隨之而來的訴訟和聯邦調查。

Milei refuted claims that he promoted the memecoin, stating in February that he merely “spread the word.”

麥莉駁斥了他宣傳這一模因的說法，並在2月份說他只是“傳播這個詞”。

The scandal, dubbed locally as “Libragate,” has dented Milei’s popularity and hindered his efforts to strengthen political alliances ahead of congressional midterm elections this year, reported Reuters in late February.

據路透社報導，這場醜聞被當地稱為“ Libragate”。
