Efforts are underway to freeze certain wallets involved, and international requests are being made to access data from foreign crypto exchanges.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Milei retracting his initial support, data indicates that insiders associated with the LIBRA team cashed out approximately $107 million before the token&#8217;s dramatic crash. Additionally, $4.5 million recently moved from one wallet, with some funds believed to be used to purchase another memecoin, POPE, possibly as part of an attempt to launder the assets.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecutor is also seeking phone records, visitor logs from Milei&#8217;s offices, and interviews with blockchain specialists who could shed light on the case.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/mt-gox-moves-12000-btc-amid-ongoing-repayment-uncertainty\/\" title=\"Mt.
