Libra, the cryptocurrency project made famous by the endorsement of Argentina’s President Javier Milei and its subsequent debacle, is reportedly the subject of an investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ). According to local media, people with knowledge of the issue confirmed that there is a probe in its early stages. The probe was started by the fraud section of the criminal division in the department, which is generally tasked with solving complex economic crimes involving U.S. entities abroad. La Nacion reports that the investigation follows an initial crime report that points to the involvement of President Javier Milei, mentioning Kelsier Ventures’ Hayden Adams, KIP Protocol’s Julian Peh, Mauricio Novelli, and Manuel Terrones Godoy as part of the Libra scheme. The probe might expand to include several agencies of the U.S. government, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which is already rumored to be already working on the issue, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Libra, which is referred to by some erroneously as a meme coin, was first shared by Milei on social media as a token directed to help Argentine companies get funding. The endorsement prompted thousands to jump onto the token, losing millions after its price tumbled.

While Milei ordered an internal investigation, he also denied having any responsibility for Libra’s operations. He declared that he did not endorse the project, that he merely shared it, and that most of the affected were aware of the implicit dangers of the trade, calling them “volatility operators.” Read more: Javier Milei Denies Responsibility in Libra Debacle: ‘If You Go to the Casino and Lose Money, That’s Your Problem’ 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。

Dover T. Braga, a 48-year-old Brazilian citizen, has been extradited from Switzerland to the United States to face a 13-count indictment for wire fraud and conspiracy related to a massive $290 million Bitcoin Ponzi scheme. Acting U.S. Attorney Teal Luthy Miller announced that Braga, who resided in Florida between 2016 and 2021, operated the fraudulent investment platform, deceiving investors worldwide. Braga is accused of running Trade Coin Club (TCC), a cryptocurrency trading platform that promised investors lucrative returns through a sophisticated trading algorithm. However, authorities claim TCC was nothing more than a Ponzi scheme, using funds from new investors to pay earlier ones while Braga and his associates siphoned off millions. According to court documents , Braga and his co-conspirators aggressively marketed TCC worldwide, including in Thailand, Nigeria, and Macau, falsely claiming the platform had over 126,000 members across 231 countries. Investors were led to believe they were making profits, but in reality, there was no legitimate trading activity, only a scheme designed to funnel funds into Braga’s pockets. Between 2016 and 2019, Braga allegedly misappropriated at least $50 million in (Bitcoin BTC) into accounts he controlled, while total investor losses reached approximately 82,000 Bitcoin (worth $290 million at the time). In addition to wire fraud, Braga faces charges of tax evasion for allegedly failing to report tens of millions in Bitcoin earnings to the IRS. In 2017, he received $30.5 million in Bitcoin but reported only $152,298 in income. The following year, he claimed just $73,473 in earnings despite receiving $13.1 million. In 2019, he declared only $72,870, even though he pocketed $10 million in Bitcoin. These discrepancies suggest that Braga deliberately concealed his cryptocurrency profits to evade taxation, further compounding his legal troubles. A grand jury indicted Braga in October 2022, but the case remained sealed until his arrest in Switzerland in 2024. Following extradition to the U.S., Braga appeared in U.S. District Court in Seattle, where he pleaded “Not Guilty” to all charges. His trial is scheduled for April 28, 2025, before Judge Tana Lin. If convicted, Braga faces a maximum 20-year prison sentence for wire fraud and conspiracy. Authorities continue to investigate whether additional accomplices were involved in the global cryptocurrency scam. The case marks a significant crackdown on crypto-related fraud and highlights the global effort to hold perpetrators accountable. As Braga awaits trial, federal authorities, including the FBI and IRS Criminal Investigation, continue working to recover lost funds and ensure justice for the victims of one of the most notorious Bitcoin Ponzi schemes in recent history.
