A series of financial movements made by Hayden Davis, one of the creators of the controversial Token Libra, caught the attention when detected, since he reveals that the entrepreneur transferred millions of dollars into cryptoactives to third -party wallets a few minutes after meeting with Argentine president Javier Milei, as well as in the prelude to the launch of the project.
The investigation was promoted by Fernando Molina, a cryptocurrency specialist who already declared twice before the investigative commission of the Congress deputies.
It all started when Analyzed an operation carried out by Hayden Davis after the collapse of Token Libralaunched on February 14, of the project briefly released by President Javier Milei who is investigated for alleged scam.
It is a return of 4.5 million dollars to David Portnoy, who had invested in the project. This operation allowed to identify Davis’s personal wallet and draw part of his financial career.
From that point, Molina distinguished several significant previous movements from Wallet itself.
One took place on January 30, when Davis entered the Casa Rosada Accompanied by Mauricio Novelli and Manuel Terrones Godoy, two of the others involved in the Libra project. This transfer was $ 507,500 to Exchange Bitget towards a wallet whose owner is still unknown.
In addition, on February 3, one day before Novelli opened an account at Banco Galicia as it was known, he sent 1.9 million dollars in USDC to an unknown Wallet, which then made three transactions to Bitget of 500 thousand dollars and two others of 1 million.
In addition, Molina highlighted a peculiar transfer made on February 13, a day prior to the launch of the project: Davis sent $ 100 to the Exchange Gate.io and, minutes later, he transferred approximately 1.2 million dollars to the same place.
Despite this, the specialist He urged not to reach hurried conclusions about their reason and their recipientsstating that “none of the transactions are conclusive by themselves.”
It is worth mentioning that, after the collapse of Libra, Hayden Davis granted an interview in which he held the Argentine president himself. According to the businessman, The publication of Milei, in which the project was distanced, generated panic in the market and triggered a massive wave of sales.
As Cryptonoticias already reported, Davis is under the sight of justice in both Argentina and the United States. In March, the lawyer Gregorio Dalbón asked prosecutor Eduardo Taiano to activate a red alert from Interpol, in fear that the American businessman would escape or go to secrecy.
The truth is that, to date, Davis has not returned to perform any public appearance.
While experts continue to investigate the role of Hayden Davis and their financial movements, the Argentine Congress also tries to advance with its own investigation around the case. The Special Commission created in the Chamber of Deputies recently held its second meeting, although marked by the absences and lack of political consensus.
Key figures such as Mauricio Novelli and Manuel Terrones Godoy, cited for their direct participation in the project, did not appear. Nor did President Javier Milei or his sister Karina, general secretary of the Presidency, who had also been summoned.
In parallel to the actions of Congress, Federal Justice also extended the scope of the investigation. Prosecutor Eduardo Taiano requested international collaboration from the Singapore Embassy and Interpol to identify Julian Peh, founder of Kip Protocol, and indicated as another of the architects of Libra.
