The CEO of Kelsier Ventures and advisor of the President of Argentina, Hayden Davis, has found his digital assets frozen after prosecutors found evidence that linked him to the Libra memecoin scandal.

A US judge has unfrozen $57.6 million in USDC tied to the Libra token scandal, giving the accused access to the funds. The class-action case over the \$107 million token collapse is still ongoing in the US and Argentina.

Two Russian crypto entrepreneurs were kidnapped in Buenos Aires and held for a $43,000 crypto ransom. They were assaulted and released within 24 hours after a friend paid. Interpol has issued a red notice for the suspects, who fled to the UAE.

Argentina’s government suddenly closed the investigation into the Libra cryptocurrency scandal involving President Milei and his sister, despite public concern and complaints. The criminal case continues, but the task force was shut down amid political backlash, leaving questions about transparency and the future of crypto regulation in the country.
