据阿根廷报纸 Clarin 报道，一家阿根廷律师事务所于 2 月 17 日向美国司法部 (DOJ) 和联邦调查局 (FBI) 提起刑事诉讼，指出 LIBRA 代币崩盘的幕后黑手。该诉讼还要求调查阿根廷总统哈维尔·米莱 (Javier Milei) 在其中扮演的角色。
在另一个法律方面，公民联盟 ARI 于 2 月 17 日提起刑事诉讼，要求司法部调查米莱总统涉嫌推动的贿赂和欺诈指控，并补充说“政府不能既当法官又当陪审团”。
2 月 14 日，米莱总统在 X 上发布了有关该项目的帖子后，LIBRA 代币出现反弹。该帖子现已被删除，强调该项目将用于资助“阿根廷小型企业和初创企业”，并附上了合约地址，导致该代币的市值升至 45.6 亿美元，然后在几个小时后暴跌至 2.57 亿美元。
这些最新的法律挑战建立在阿根廷早些时候提起的刑事指控的基础上，指控米莱通过支持代币参与欺诈行为。
反过来，政府一直试图让阿根廷总统与丑闻划清界限，称米莱是被推出 LIBRA 的交易员“善意欺骗”的，而且他不知道融资机制。
在该国金融科技商会承认 LIBRA 可能是一个骗局后，米莱总统最终可能面临弹劾指控。
反对派议员莱安德罗·桑托罗 2 月 16 日告诉路透社：“这起丑闻让我们在国际上蒙羞，我们需要对总统提出弹劾请求。”
2 月 17 日，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在 Truth Social 上发帖，分享了一张米莱的照片，并配文：“如果印钞能消除贫困，那么印文凭就能消除愚蠢。”在 X 上，米莱转发了特朗普帖子的几张截图。
在接受 Coffeezilla 采访时，LIBRA 创始人海登·戴维斯 (Hayden Davis) 为该代币的崩盘辩护，称其为一次失败而非骗局，并表示：“社交媒体上所有的抱怨都是那些没有参与交易的人说的。如果他们参与了交易，你就永远不会听到他们抱怨。”
