Argentine lawyer Gregorio Dalbon has officially requested Interpol to issue a red notice for the arrest of entrepreneur Hayden Davis over his involvement in the Libra cryptocurrency scandal.

Argentine lawyer Gregorio Dalbón has formally asked Argentine prosecutors and a federal judge to request an Interpol Red Notice for U.S.-based entrepreneur Hayden Davis, co-creator of the LIBRA memecoin. Dalbón’s filing argues that Davis poses a flight risk due to access to substantial funds allegedly generated from LIBRA, and seeks his location, provisional arrest, and eventual extradition to face proceedings tied to the so‑called “LIBRA scandal.” Wu Blockchain and other crypto news outlets report that this marks an escalation of the legal response to the token episode, which has already prompted asset-freezing actions and multiple criminal investigations. The LIBRA token became a national political issue in Argentina after President Javier Milei amplified it on social media minutes after its creation on February 14, briefly driving its market value above $4 billion before it crashed, with critics calling the episode a pump‑and‑dump scheme. Local reporting and subsequent investigations allege that Davis and his firm Kelsier Ventures controlled a large share of the token supply, profited heavily—Davis himself has previously claimed earnings around $100 million—and then sold into the market as retail demand surged. Dalbón, who has represented former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, is also using the case to press broader claims that figures close to President Milei, including his sister Karina Milei, played key roles in the scheme, though Milei and Davis have denied criminal wrongdoing and characterized the allegations as politically motivated. If Interpol grants the Red Notice, Davis’s data would be circulated to law-enforcement agencies in member countries, but any arrest or extradition would still depend on national authorities’ decisions and legal processes.
