Argentine Lawyer Seeks Global Arrest Warrant for LIBRA Token Co-Creator

An international arrest warrant has been requested for Hayden Davis, co-creator of the LIBRA token, which became the center of a major political scandal in Argentina.

Lawyer Gregorio Dalbon has asked prosecutor Eduardo Taiano and Judge María Servini to seek an Interpol Red Notice for Davis, citing concerns that he could flee or go into hiding due to his financial resources.

The controversy erupted after President Javier Milei shared LIBRA on social media shortly after its creation on February 14, driving its value past $4 billion. The token’s creators, who controlled most of the supply, quickly sold off their holdings, triggering a price collapse.

Allegations of fraud soon followed, with several legal complaints filed against Milei both in Argentina and with U.S. authorities.

Dalbon, known for representing former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in corruption cases, argued that Davis played a central role in the token’s launch and promotion, making him a flight risk. He urged authorities to take action, including extradition if necessary.

Davis defended himself in an interview with YouTuber “Coffeezilla,” insisting LIBRA was a failed project rather than a scam. However, reports later surfaced of him allegedly boasting about paying Milei’s sister, Karina Milei, to secure the president’s endorsement. Davis denied making any payments and claimed he had no record of such messages.
