MELANIA, the meme coin officially promoted by the United States (US) First Lady, and LIBRA, promoted by the President of Argentina Javier Milei, became a hotbed for controversies, which fall into the allegations of speculation, insider allegations, and the loss of investor funds.
Moreover, Argentina’s President Milei faces a legal case for the LIBRA’s promotion. The news sources revealed that lawyers in Argentina have filed fraud charges against Milei, accusing him of promoting a meme coin that was a “rug pull” scam.
Jonatan Baldiviezo, a lawyer and plaintiff, said, “Within this illicit association, the crime of fraud was committed, in which the President’s actions were essential.”
