An Argentine federal judge has ordered the freezing of financial assets belonging to Kelsier Ventures CEO Hayden Mark Davis, who has been closely linked to the controversial LIBRA token launch—a project publicly backed by President Javier Milei. The indefinite precautionary order, issued by Judge Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi, also targets Favio Camilo Rodríguez Blanco of Colombia and Argentine national Orlando Rodolfo Mellino, both accused of managing crypto wallets used to move funds tied to the LIBRA timeline.

The ruling follows a request from federal prosecutor Eduardo Taiano, supported by financial investigation agencies, aiming to secure assets potentially connected to crypto-related fraud. Authorities claim that Davis, who met with Milei several times at the Casa Rosada, transferred millions through intermediaries to Argentine lobbyists Mauricio Novelliand Manuel Terrones Godoy. The National Securities Commission has been instructed to alert local and international virtual asset service providers to enforce the freeze.

Investigations revealed that Rodríguez Blanco operated a Bitget exchange account allegedly used to convert digital assets into cash during key stages of the LIBRA project. One major transaction traced to January 30 — just an hour after Davis was photographed with Milei — involved a $507,500 transfer suspected of being an indirect payment to officials. Surveillance footage later captured Novelli’s family members withdrawing large cash bags from a Banco Galicia branch shortly after LIBRA’s collapse.

Prosecutors believe these transfers were designed to conceal the true recipients and launder funds linked to the LIBRA token’s operations. With mounting evidence of hidden transactions and asset movement risks, the Argentine judiciary’s actions underscore intensifying scrutiny of the crypto sector, financial transparency, and alleged political ties in one of the nation’s most high-profile cryptocurrency fraud investigations.
