Argentine President Javier Milei faces a fraud investigation after promoting a cryptocurrency that collapsed within hours, vaporizing billions in value.

Argentine President Javier Milei is facing a corruption probe into his promotion of a meme coin, which is a highly speculative form of cryptocurrency that’s seen a recent surge in popularity after President Donald Trump and his wife launched tokens of their own.

Argentine President Javier Milei is facing impeachment calls after he promoted a little known cryptocurrency libra, which soared and soon plunged. However, it is unlikely to upend Milei’s presidency,

A new report cites text messages that appear to show the crypto mogul bragging about exerting some sort of control over the Argentinian leader.

A judge in Argentina has been selected to investigate allegations of fraud against President Javier Milei for his brief promotion of a cryptocurrency that collapsed in value hours after it was launched last week.

Argentina's ex-president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, branded Milei a "crypto scammer" on social media and accused him of turning “Argentina into a casino.”

The budding scandal in Argentina has been dubbed locally as “cryptogate” and has links to a diverse cast of characters, including a high-profile U.S. influencer, a crypto developer who uses the pseudonym “Meow,” and a 28-year-old American entrepreneur who said he helped launch first lady Melania Trump’s meme coin last month.

Argentina's president faces his first major political crisis as the so-called "cryptogate" scandal shakes his credibility. The failed cryptocurrency endorsement sparks legal trouble, political fallout and media backlash.
