Libra Co-Founder Statement Denies Bribery Allegations, Calls Media Coverage "Politically Motivated"

BlockBeats News, February 19th: Libra co-founder Hayden Davis denied in a statement that he bribed Argentine President Milei.

He called the media reports "politically motivated." When asked if he denied making such allegations via text message, his public relations representative stated that there is no memory or record of any kind on Hayden's phone.

Earlier today, CoinDesk reported that Hayden Davis, co-founder of Libra, claimed in a text message from December last year that he bribed Argentine President Javier Milei's sister, Karina Milei, to influence presidential decisions, stating, "I gave money to his sister, he signed at my behest, and acted as I requested."

Karina Milei is a key figure in the Milei government, currently serving as Secretary of the Argentine Presidency, and is also the sister of current Argentine President Javier Milei. As of now, neither Karina Milei's office nor Hayden Davis has responded to related requests for comment, and it is not yet clear whether the latter actually paid any funds.
