Argentine President Javier Milli denied the promotion of a newly launched encrypted currency, which collapsed shortly after it was mentioned in a post on social media on Friday.
Soon the value of Cryptocoin $ Libra increased before Noseediving, causing severe losses to the majority of the people who invested in it.
The judge will now determine whether the president should face defrauding the accident.
On Monday, Miley said that he acted “in good faith” and rejected investor complaints, and compared their actions to people who gambled: “If you go to a casino and lose money, what does he complain about when you know the risks?”
President Millie talked about the $ incident in the balance in an interview with the Argentine TV TODO NODO NOSIAS channel on Monday, after the weekend in which he remained unusually quiet on social media.
And he insisted that his post on X, which contains a link to the Libra site $, did not constitute support.
“I haven’t promoted it, I only shared it,” Toodo Noticias ‘Jonny Viale told Toodo Noticias’ Jonny Viale.
The Miley Publication, which he deleted only a few hours later, made severe criticism not only from his political competitors in Argentina but also from those who invested in the encrypted currency.
Some have argued that the launch of $ Libra is similar to “rug pulling” – as the promoters are drawn for buyers, only to stop trading activity and enjoy money collected from sales.
The Presidential Office insisted that Milli did not participate in any way in developing the balance $ and announced that the Anti -Corruption Office would determine whether the president had been incorrectly spent.
Miley himself defended his position, saying that at that time he did not know “the details of the project and after identifying it, I decided not to continue promoting.”
However, opposition politicians have not been developed through statements, threatening to start the dismissal procedures against Milli.
While political analysts indicate that the opposition is unlikely to obtain the necessary votes to conduct a accountability, the scandal threatens to turn the attention of Miley away from its radical reformist agenda.
A federal judge has been assigned to report whether the number of allegations of fraud against the president should pass by a number of prosecutors.
In his television interview, Miley seemed combat, stressing that “there is nothing hiding.”
He also said that those who invested in $ Libra did so “voluntarily” and knew risks.
“It is like a Russian roulette playing and getting a bullet.”
