民選官員發行娛樂和利潤的趨勢可能會停止

由於阿根廷醜聞的日益增長，民選官員發行Memecoin的娛樂和利潤的趨勢可能會停下來，其根源可能一直延伸到賓夕法尼亞州的1600年。

A growing Argentine scandal involving memecoins and presidential endorsements may have Donald Trump in its sights.

阿根廷越來越多的涉及紀念因素和總統認可的醜聞可能會使唐納德·特朗普的目光投向。

On February 17, the website selling Donald and Melania Trump’s Solana-based memecoins announced a ‘President Trump Day Celebration,’ conflating the current president with the Presidents Day national holiday.

2月17日，出售唐納德（Donald）和梅拉尼亞·特朗普（Melania Trump）的基於索拉納（Solana）的Memecoins的網站宣布了“總統特朗普日慶祝活動”，將現任總統與總統日國定假日混為一談。

The notice promised a free airdrop of three $TRUMP tokens to anyone who’d purchased an “official Trump product”—specifically, his sneakers, watches, colognes, or non-fungible token (NFT) collections—prior to February 15. Eligible claimants have until March 1 to receive their free tokens, which will be delivered via the blockchain platform Crossmint.

該通知向任何購買了“官方特朗普產品”的人（特別是他的運動鞋，手錶，colognes或不可殺死的代幣（NFT）藏品）的任何人提供了三個特朗普代幣的免費空調，直到2月15日。必須在3月1日之前獲得免費令牌，該令牌將通過區塊鏈平台Crossmint交付。

The notice helpfully warns visitors to “Be Careful of SCAMS,” for which we don’t have any joke to make because it’s just too damn easy.

該通知有助於警告訪客“小心騙局”，為此我們沒有開玩笑，因為這太容易了。

If the intention of this airdrop was to spark renewed interest in $TRUMP, it didn’t work, as the token’s fiat value fell from $18 to $16 on Monday and has yet to bounce back.

如果該空投的目的是激發特朗普$的新利息，那就不起作用了，因為令牌的菲亞特價值從周一的18美元下降到16美元，尚未反彈。

It probably didn’t help that the team behind Melania’s memecoin appears to have also been involved in the ill-fated launch and abrupt rug pull of a token promoted by Argentina’s crypto-friendly President Javier Milei (whom Trump has called “my favorite president”).

Melania的Memecoin背後的團隊似乎也參與了命運不佳的發射和突然的地毯，由阿根廷對加密貨幣友好的總統Javier Milei（特朗普稱為“我最喜歡的總統”）促進了代幣的地毯。 ）。

If you missed last weekend’s drama, on February 14, Milei tweeted a promo for a new Solana-based project called Viva la Libertad, based on the ‘Long live Freedom’ slogan that Milei uses to conclude his speeches. Naturally, the project had a memecoin (LIBRA), and Milei’s tweet offered directions on how to buy the token. The proceeds from token sales would allegedly encourage “economic growth by funding small businesses and startups.”

如果您錯過了上週末的戲劇，那麼2月14日，麥莉（Milei）在推特上為一個新的基於索拉納的項目Viva La Libertad發了推文，該項目基於Milei用來結束演講的“ Love Live Freedom”口號。自然，該項目有一個模因（天秤座），而麥莉的推文則提供了有關如何購買令牌的指示。據稱，來自代幣銷售的收益將鼓勵“通過資助小型企業和初創公司的經濟增長”。

Predictably, it appears to have been a scam from the start, as insiders were quick to dump over $100 million worth of LIBRA as its market cap briefly topped $4 billion. Belatedly realizing that the rug was being pulled, non-insiders rushed to dump their own tokens, further cratering LIBRA’s price and causing major losses for anyone not in on the scam from the start.

可以預見的是，從一開始，這似乎是一個騙局，因為內部人士很快將價值超過1億美元的天秤座傾倒，因為其市值短暫超過了40億美元。遲來的意識到地毯正在被拉動，非企業急於拋棄自己的代幣，進一步遍布天秤座的價格，並從一開始就造成任何不騙局的人造成重大損失。

That latter category includes Milei, at least, according to Milei. Five hours after his original tweet, Milei deleted it and then tweeted a mea culpa (of sorts), insisting that he “was not informed of the fine details of the project and after learning, I decided not to continue spreading it.”

米利（Milei）的說法，後一類至少包括麥利。在他的原始推文五個小時後，麥莉（Milei）刪除了它，然後在推特上發了一條Mea Culpa（各種），堅持認為他“沒有被告知該項目的細節，並且在學習後，我決定不繼續散佈它。”

Milei’s critics were quick to reject this explanation, noting that this wasn’t Milei’s first connection to a crypto scam. In 2022, the then-member of Congress was sued by a group of investors who’d been taken by an alleged crypto Ponzi scheme called CoinX that Milei had promoted via his Instagram account the previous year.

麥莉的批評家很快拒絕了這一解釋，並指出這不是麥莉與加密騙局的第一個聯繫。 2022年，當時的國會議員被一群投資者起訴，他們被稱為Coinx的涉嫌加密龐氏騙局（Coinx）所佔據，該計劃是Milei在上一年通過其Instagram帳戶晉升的。

This time around, Milei appears even less apologetic, telling local media that few Argentines had been victimized by the rug pull, since the majority of buyers were Chinese and American (it’s unclear how he knows this). Milei further claimed those who bought LIBRA “knew what they were getting into. As volatility traders, they understood the risks involved.”

這次，麥莉（Milei）似乎不太道歉，告訴當地媒體，很少有阿根廷人被地毯拉力受害，因為大多數買家是中國和美國人（目前尚不清楚他如何知道這一點）。麥莉進一步聲稱那些購買天秤座的人“知道他們正在進入什麼。作為波動性交易者，他們了解涉及的風險。”

But Milei subsequently retweeted his original tweet, which caused LIBRA to briefly spike anew, only to delete that retweet as several other suspected insider wallets dumped their bags at a profit. Worse, Milei’s ‘live’ TV interview that was intended to clear the air appears to have been prerecorded and heavily edited to approve all questions and expunge any incriminating answers.

但是麥莉隨後轉發了他的原始推文，這導致天秤座簡短地重新飆升，只是刪除了該推文，只是因為其他幾個疑似內部人士錢包以獲利的方式傾倒了行李。更糟糕的是，米利（Milei）的“現場”電視採訪旨在清除空氣似乎已經預先記錄並進行了大量編輯，以批准所有問題並消除任何有罪的答案。

While Milei is clearly hoping the whole brouhaha goes away soon, Argentina’s Anti-Corruption Office has opened a probe into the affair. On Monday, Judge Maria Servini of the Federal Court No. 1 in Buenos Aires was selected to handle claims of fraud by those who lost money via this debacle.

雖然Milei顯然希望整個Brouhaha很快消失，但阿根廷的反腐敗辦公室已經對這一事件開了一個調查。週一，布宜諾斯艾利斯聯邦法院第一法院的瑪麗亞·塞維尼（Maria Servini）法官被選為通過這次崩潰損失金錢的人來處理欺詐索賠。

Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?

那是錯的嗎？我不應該這樣做嗎？

While Milei does damage control at home, LIBRA’s founders—in particular Hayden Davis of deployer/market-maker Kelsier Ventures—have been bragging about their exploits. And this could create blowback for the $TRUMP/$MELANIA tokens.

儘管Milei在家裡進行了損害控制，但Libra的創始人（尤其是Deployer/Marketmaker Kelsier Ventures的Hayden Davis）一直在吹牛。這可能會給$ Trump/$ Melania代幣帶來反擊。

In text messages sent last December, Davis reportedly claimed to be able to “control” Milei due to payments he was making to the president’s sister, Karina. “I send $$ to his sister and he signs whatever I say and does what I want.” Davis also reportedly bragged about his ability to get Milei to promote projects via social media.

據報導，在去年12月發出的短信中，戴維斯聲稱能夠“控制”麥莉，因為他向總統的姐姐卡琳娜付款。 “我把$$發送給他的姐姐，他簽署了我所說的一切，並做我想做的。”據報導，戴維斯還吹噓自己有能力通過社交媒體來促進項目。

In an X post on February 15, Milei’s presidential channel confirmed that Milei had a meeting last October with representatives of KIP Protocol, the team behind the ‘Libertad’ project, while Milei said he met Davis on January 30 at local government offices. However, the post said Davis “had

在2月15日的X帖子中，米利的總統頻道證實，麥利於去年10月與KIP協議的代表舉行了一次會議，即“ Libertad”項目背後的團隊，而Milei表示他於1月30日在地方政府辦公室與戴維斯會面。但是，該帖子說戴維斯“
