According to Whale Insider, Argentine authorities are moving to issue an Interpol Red Notice for Hayden Davis, the alleged mastermind behind the $LIBRA cryptocurrency collapse . Prominent lawyer Gregorio Dalbon filed a request urging legal authorities to secure Davis’s arrest. He submitted the request to prosecutor Eduardo Taiano and Judge María Servini. The petition cites a “procedural risk” if Davis remains free, given his access to financial resources. Davis played a key role in creating and promoting the $LIBRA token . The cryptocurrency gained traction after Argentine President Javier Milei shared it on social media. The token soared to a $4 billion valuation before crashing. Many investors accused Davis and his firm, Kelsier Ventures, of orchestrating a pump-and-dump scheme. Dalbon emphasized that Davis could flee the United States or go into hiding if authorities fail to act swiftly. He requested an international arrest warrant to prevent Davis from evading justice. Moreover, he insisted on Davis’s extradition to face charges in Argentina. Interpol’s Red Notice would alert global law enforcement agencies to locate and detain him. The LIBRA debacle triggered widespread legal repercussions in Argentina. Multiple fraud charges were filed against Milei for his alleged role in promoting the token. Additionally, U.S. authorities received reports concerning financial crimes tied to LIBRA. The president, however, denied direct involvement. He claimed he only “spread the word” about the cryptocurrency rather than actively endorsing it. Davis profited heavily from LIBRA’s rapid rise and fall. Reports indicate he gained nearly $100 million from the token’s launch. However, he denied ownership of the tokens and insisted he did not sell them. Leaked messages suggested he paid Milei’s sister, Karina Milei, to have the president promote the token. Davis later dismissed the claims, stating he had no record of such transactions.

Indian police have arrested Aleksej Besciokov, co-founder of Garantex, a Russian cryptocurrency exchange sanctioned by the U.S. and the European Union for facilitating money laundering. Besciokov, a Lithuanian national, was detained in Varkala, Kerala, under India’s extradition law, according to state police officials, TechCrunch and Brian Krebs reported . The arrest occurred at 4 p.m. local time on Tuesday following an arrest warrant issued by the Patiala House Court in New Delhi. Besciokov is expected to be transferred to the court on March 14. Indian authorities have not disclosed whether the arrest was directly linked to his indictment in the U.S., but his extradition status suggests he is not facing charges within India. Garantex shut down its services on March 6 shortly after Tether froze nearly 2.5 billion USDT in Russian rubles. Besciokov’s arrest comes days after the U.S. Department of Justice unsealed an indictment charging him and Garantex’s other alleged co-founder, Aleksandr Mira Serda, with conspiracy to commit money laundering. Besciokov faces additional charges for violating U.S. sanctions and operating an unlicensed money transmission business. Each charge carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 years, with an additional five years for the unlicensed business violation. Garantex, launched in 2019, was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control in April 2022 for processing illicit funds linked to hacking, ransomware, terrorism, and drug trafficking. Despite sanctions , the exchange reportedly facilitated over $60 billion in transactions. Besciokov, known by the hacker alias “proforg,” allegedly oversaw Garantex’s technical infrastructure and approved transactions linked to North Korean cybercriminals and Russian elites evading sanctions. U.S. authorities claim he and Serda knowingly laundered illicit funds and took steps to conceal Garantex’s activities , including moving operational cryptocurrency wallets daily to bypass detection. As part of a coordinated international operation, U.S., German, and Finnish authorities seized servers hosting Garantex’s operations, while the U.S. Secret Service froze over $26 million associated with the exchange. Law enforcement also obtained copies of Garantex’s customer and accounting databases, potentially exposing further illicit activities. Besciokov was detained while vacationing with his family in India, according to sources close to the investigation. He appeared before a local court after his arrest and is set to be transferred to Delhi. The U.S. government is expected to pursue his extradition to face charges in the Eastern District of Virginia, where the indictment was filed. Mira Serda, a Russian national residing in the United Arab Emirates, remains at large. The DOJ alleges he acted as Garantex’s chief commercial officer, managing the exchange’s business operations while assisting in laundering illicit funds.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced on March 10 that the state had taken decisive action against fraudulent cryptocurrency schemes by shutting down dozens of scam websites. The announcement details: In 2024, the California Department of Justice shut down 42 fraudulent websites that scammed innocent victims out of at least $6.5 million, with an average loss per victim of $146,306. These websites were used in “pig-butchering” scams, where victims were manipulated into investing in fake crypto platforms. Bonta stressed the need for continued vigilance, stating: “Scammers can use deception and emotional manipulation to take advantage of people looking for connection.” He credited the DOJ’s efforts and the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) for their collaboration in protecting consumers. DFPI Commissioner KC Mohseni underscored the agency’s commitment to helping consumers detect and avoid scams. “As crypto scams evolve, DFPI’s Crypto Scam Tracker helps empower consumers to stay vigilant,” he stated, emphasizing the importance of verifying website domains and avoiding fraudulent platforms. The DOJ also identified ten key warning signs of fake crypto websites, including impossible rates of return, missing contact information, stolen content, and grammatical errors. These red flags were developed through the DOJ’s Cybercrime Section in partnership with the DFPI to disrupt internet-based financial crimes targeting Californians. Pig-butchering scams typically begin with scammers contacting victims through text messages or social media, slowly gaining their trust before directing them to fraudulent investment sites. Victims are led to believe their investments are growing, often prompting them to invest even more. However, when they attempt to withdraw funds, they realize the site is fake, and their money is gone. Many victims hesitate to report the crime due to shame, but authorities urge them to come forward. Bonta warned Californians to stay cautious: “Do not send money to anyone you have never met in person.” Officials encourage victims to report scams to law enforcement, the DOJ, DFPI, or the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。
