According to Hushinson, this offer that denounced took place during the Tech Forum held in Buenos Aires in October last year. There, Julian Peh, of $ Libra, held an encounter with President Milei and the presidential spokesman, Manuel Adorni, and took a photo that he later published and fixed on his account of the social network X (formerly Twitter).
Hoskinson said he denied the request of the organizers of Tech Forum because he considered that he violated the law that penalizes in the United States the corrupt practices committed abroad (FCPA, in English). He also said that alerts about the people involved were duly presented to the corresponding authorities.
Hoskinson, in a video broadcast on his social network X, said that at first they had promised him a meeting alone with Milei, which is why he traveled from the United States to Argentina, but when he arrived in Buenos Aires they told him that he would only have The opportunity to greet him and take a group photo, unless he would pay them.
“Then we had all these people that we found along the way and they told us’ hey, give us something [hace con las manos el gesto de contar billetes]we can make a meeting, and, oh, yes, magical things can happen. ‘ And I said, ‘Well, that would be the rape of the FCPA, we cannot do that.’ And then, suddenly, they stopped, ”said Hoskinson.

However, the digital asset moved millions of dollars in a few hours and quickly collapsed.
