民选官员发行娱乐和利润的趋势可能会停止

由于阿根廷丑闻的日益增长，民选官员发行Memecoin的娱乐和利润的趋势可能会停下来，其根源可能一直延伸到宾夕法尼亚州的1600年。

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

阿根廷越来越多的涉及纪念因素和总统认可的丑闻可能会使唐纳德·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，出售唐纳德（Donald）和梅拉尼亚·特朗普（Melania Trump）的基于索拉纳（Solana）的Memecoins的网站宣布了“总统特朗普日庆祝活动”，将现任总统与总统日国定假日混为一谈。

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.

该通知向任何购买了“官方特朗普产品”的人（特别是他的运动鞋，手表，colognes或不可杀死的代币（NFT）藏品）的任何人提供了三个特朗普代币的免费空调，直到2月15日。必须在3月1日之前获得免费令牌，该令牌将通过区块链平台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.

该通知有助于警告访客“小心骗局”，为此我们没有开玩笑，因为这太容易了。

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.

如果该空投的目的是激发特朗普$的新利息，那就不起作用了，因为令牌的菲亚特价值从周一的18美元下降到16美元，尚未反弹。

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背后的团队似乎也参与了命运不佳的发射和突然的地毯，由阿根廷对加密货币友好的总统Javier Milei（特朗普称为“我最喜欢的总统”）促进了代币的地毯。 ）。

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.”

如果您错过了上周末的戏剧，那么2月14日，麦莉（Milei）在推特上为一个新的基于索拉纳的项目Viva La Libertad发了推文，该项目基于Milei用来结束演讲的“ Love Live Freedom”口号。自然，该项目有一个模因（天秤座），而麦莉的推文则提供了有关如何购买令牌的指示。据称，来自代币销售的收益将鼓励“通过资助小型企业和初创公司的经济增长”。

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.

可以预见的是，从一开始，这似乎是一个骗局，因为内部人士很快将价值超过1亿美元的天秤座倾倒，因为其市值短暂超过了40亿美元。迟来的意识到地毯正在被拉动，非企业急于抛弃自己的代币，进一步遍布天秤座的价格，并从一开始就造成任何不骗局的人造成重大损失。

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）的说法，后一类至少包括麦利。在他的原始推文五个小时后，麦莉（Milei）删除了它，然后在推特上发了一条Mea Culpa（各种），坚持认为他“没有被告知该项目的细节，并且在学习后，我决定不继续散布它。”

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.

麦莉的批评家很快拒绝了这一解释，并指出这不是麦莉与加密骗局的第一个联系。 2022年，当时的国会议员被一群投资者起诉，他们被称为Coinx的涉嫌加密庞氏骗局（Coinx）所占据，该计划是Milei在上一年通过其Instagram帐户晋升的。

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.”

这次，麦莉（Milei）似乎不太道歉，告诉当地媒体，很少有阿根廷人被地毯拉力受害，因为大多数买家是中国和美国人（目前尚不清楚他如何知道这一点）。麦莉进一步声称那些购买天秤座的人“知道他们正在进入什么。作为波动性交易者，他们了解涉及的风险。”

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.

但是麦莉随后转发了他的原始推文，这导致天秤座简短地重新飙升，只是删除了该推文，只是因为其他几个疑似内部人士钱包以获利的方式倾倒了行李。更糟糕的是，米利（Milei）的“现场”电视采访旨在清除空气似乎已经预先记录并进行了大量编辑，以批准所有问题并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.

虽然Milei显然希望整个Brouhaha很快消失，但阿根廷的反腐败办公室已经对这一事件开了一个调查。周一，布宜诺斯艾利斯联邦法院第一法院的玛丽亚·塞维尼（Maria Servini）法官被选为通过这次崩溃损失金钱的人来处理欺诈索赔。

Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?

那是错的吗？我不应该这样做吗？

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.

尽管Milei在家里进行了损害控制，但Libra的创始人（尤其是Deployer/Marketmaker Kelsier Ventures的Hayden Davis）一直在吹牛。这可能会给$ Trump/$ Melania代币带来反击。

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.

据报道，在去年12月发出的短信中，戴维斯声称能够“控制”麦莉，因为他向总统的姐姐卡琳娜付款。 “我把$$发送给他的姐姐，他签署了我所说的一切，并做我想做的。”据报道，戴维斯还吹嘘自己有能力通过社交媒体来促进项目。

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，米利的总统频道证实，麦利于去年10月与KIP协议的代表举行了一次会议，即“ Libertad”项目背后的团队，而Milei表示他于1月30日在地方政府办公室与戴维斯会面。但是，该帖子说戴维斯“
