Argentine Leader Draws Fire After Cratering of Crypto Coin He Promoted - New York Times

[Larry]

Argentina ordered an arrest warrant for Hayden with Interpol. Can't see this working out too well for him. He hired a famous defense lawyer in the USA.

Caso $LIBRA: Hayden Davis refuerza su defensa y promete: “No movimos las criptomonedas y las seguiremos protegiendo”

A través de sus nuevos abogados, el creador del token envió a LA NACION una declaración vinculada al caso por el que enfrenta demandas en varios países; “solo quise que $LIBRA tuviera éxito”, insiste

He will never make it to Argentina. Too dangerous for Milei as he will testify and tell the truth about Milei and his sister.

Another scandal happening too.

It used to be respected by everyone but it's too biased and opinionated to be credible today. They knew about Biden's dementia, they knew inflation was bad and that opinion polls were heavily against Biden, they knew Harris was a weak candidate and that many in the party were against her, but they buried all of it and instead issued Democratic Party propaganda suggesting the exact opposite. It wasn't until the election results were so bad and they needed to deflect blame that they started admitting these things and acting as though they were duped like everyone else. I feel confident in saying that the old NYT would never have done this.

But from what I read all the mainstream news stations knew about Biden's dementia. It is the same here in Argentina. All the news outlets know about Milei's thefts and corruption. But they do not report on it and ignore it. It is the same as your country.

We have the same problems in Argentina with our media.

Well even Macri is saying this is wrong. I doubt they can make it work. Macri tried the same thing before having to back track.

It is good to read people that are objective. Maybe they support Milei but they know when the law is broken and it is wrong. What Milei is doing every day is more illegal activities. Sooner or later it will catch up with him.

He will never make it to Argentina. Too dangerous for Milei as he will testify and tell the truth about Milei and his sister.

Another scandal happening too.

Every day there more and more problems for Milei. Another one below. People now are blinded for their desire for change. But you can't ignore the illegal behavior and actions. This all catch up for Milei.

I agree with you that he needs to just abide by the law. You can't just have Presidents and executive branch doing whatever they want. Things can go south very quickly when you don't follow the law. UN expert agrees this is wrong.

Good to hear more interntaional press talking about what a crook Milei is and how he is breaking law.

Yes eventually he will get implicated in this. It has been proven his sister has been involved.

You never know with these types of things. He should have just fired his sister after it. That would have gone a long way and the smart thing to do. Instead this will probably get dragged on.

That is the thing about things like this. Sometimes people would rather go down with the ship. Milei and his sister are very close. But maybe in the end they will both go down.

Well my dear Craig. Here in Argentina we have a President that talks to his dead dogs. His sister is a tarot card reader and former baker. Some of us have been warning things were going to go wrong. Probably the same in your country with your past President. Some of us have been warning for over a year the lights are on but no one is home.

I only go home to the US once a year so watched the Biden train wreck from afar. I can't understand why they didn't pull Biden out far ahead of time. They would have had a normal selection process and Trump would have easily have lost. Hell even with all Elon Musk's help and money running against Harris it was not too impressive to me.

You have a good point Avocado. Half my wife's family is split on Milei. Before it was probably 75% pro and 25% against but it has shifted to 50% 50%. Don't want to see a return to the Left but several of her family members hope that Villarreal will take over. Someone that will continue on with change but get rid of Caputo.

If inflation goes up again Milei's support is going to continue to go down. It is already happening.

I hear you Avocado, but compared to your past leaders this one is a thoroughbred...

Agree. The cut in spending no president has had the courage to do before. He was wise to do so much of it immediately. Unfortunately some people are running out of steam and will power waiting it out.

@CraigM what is your sense on boots on the ground with Trump? Are people that voted for him regretting it? I know he is just doing what he said he was going to do but most of us did not think he would go to this far. My 401k is melting week by week since the election. I have a feeling you all in the US are going to be facing Argentina type inflation if he does not end his madness on these tariffs. I am curious what you all think.

My family in the US half of them did not vote for Trump. There other half reluctantly voted for him and now half of them regret it.

I still can't believe the mainstream media let it go that far. It was so obvious his mental state but the media kept hiding it.

Funny. That is the same things that my anti Milei friends keep saying about talking to dead dogs. Milei is definitely eccentric but I do not think he is crazy. I think he got too confident in how well Argentina was doing and the dwindling reserves is an eye opener how bad things still are.

My family in the US half of them did not vote for Trump. There other half reluctantly voted for him and now half of them regret it.

You could say the same thing for Argentina. The polling is probably almost the same as Trump. Half the country loved him and half hated him. I would guess with the stock market more hate him now.

I saw on the news yesterday even Harris came out and jokingly said, "I tried to warn you what would happen if Trump won".

I think it's easy to forget Trump's been in office less than 4 months. If you're going to make big bold moves, now is the time to do it because you're a long way from midterms and it takes time for the chaos to settle down and intended effects to kick in.

I have stopped reading the news each morning and instead watch press conferences and interviews on YouTube at night. Even if you disagree with what they're saying, at least it's from the horse's mouth. MSM is being spoonfed talking points from the DNC and turning them into editorials with no basis in reality and often with bats--t crazy headlines. I credit CNN for trying to get back to the middle but the rest of it is nonsense. I just cannot believe how far the NYT and WaPo have fallen; they were the gold standards of journalism for many decades.

This is exactly what I am doing Craig. I stoped watching the news. I am continuing to read reputable news magazines but probably will do what you are doing. The MSM is not credible anymore. I agree about CNN. It was totally lost but at least I see them trying. I sometimes watch it at night and really like Scott Jennings. I hope they give him his own show on CNN. I had a subscription to the NYT for 2 decades and gave it up 2 years ago. Very sad.

Only 4 months but very painful! I am just glad I cashed out my index fund portfolio a few months ago when I pondered early retirement. I was scared no matter which political party won would probably mean stock market was going to fall. I am happy now. I planned to come to BA and buy a small place but now if there is a world recession I don't know what will happen in Argentina. Some locals in BA tell me if anything the cost of living for me with USD would go down again.
