A key player behind the bargain boasted to buy access to Argentine President Javier Milei’s inner circle months before Memecoin’s scandalous launch and crash.

In text messages reviewed by Coindesk, Hayden Davis, CEO of Kelsier Ventures, claimed that he could “control” Milei because of payments he had made to Karina Milei, a powerful figure in Milei’s government, not to mention the president’s sister.

“I check it n ****,” Davis claimed in text messages from mid -December and added, “I send $$ to his sister and he signs what I say and do what I want.”

Karina Milei’s office did not respond to a request for comment. Davis did not respond to more requests for comment.

It was unclear whether any money was exchanged between Davis and Milei’s inner circle before Libra’s launch.

Davis’ December requirement adds a new dimension to an anti-corruption probe that Argentina’s presidential office has opened into Javier Milei, which on February 15 brought attention to the doomed Vibra Crypto as a new way of funding small businesses in this country.

But the biggest winner from the Solana-based Memecoin launch was Davis and Kelsier Ventures. Wallets checked by the devices equalized over $ 100 million in Libras early hours as it rose to $ 5 and then crashed over 95%and wiped out millions of dollars speculative investments.

Opposition leaders in Argentina have threatened to demand a forgery case over the incident that the local press invented, “Critpogate.” The scandal weighs in Argentina’s stock market and pushed Milei into “Damage Control,” said an observer of the country’s crypto area.

In text messages in December, Davis claimed he could get Milei to promote ventures on social media. Mileis tweet about the weight two months later burned his increase. When he deleted the tweet after only five hours-and after on-chain-colors had discovered proof of shady round-was weighta’s price already crashed.
