Bubblemaps reveals that Hayden Davis, the key figure behind the LIBRA token scam, is actually the second-largest investor in the Pump.fun private round, having invested a total of 50 million USDC, and sold at a total price of 65 million dollars on the first day of listing. Most people remember that Pump.fun raised 500 million dollars in a public offering in July 2025, but few recall that they also conducted a private financing round with several undisclosed investors.After investing 50 million dollars, Hayden Davis's active address received 12.5 billion tokens when the PUMP token was launched, valued at 73 million dollars, with expected earnings of 15 million dollars. This address had been previously identified, but its actual owner has only been confirmed now. It is still unclear whether Pump.fun's officials are aware of this, but the address is clearly linked to Hayden Davis on-chain and is interconnected in various ways.

According to The Block, the Argentine Congressional Investigation Committee has released a final report accusing President Javier Milei of providing key cooperation in the $LIBRA cryptocurrency collapse and suggesting that Congress evaluate whether it constitutes misconduct.The report shows that Milei promoted the $LIBRA token on his personal social media accounts, after which 8 wallets associated with the Libra team cashed out $107 million, resulting in losses for 114,410 investor wallets. This 200-page report is titled "$LIBRA is Not an Isolated Incident" and reveals a series of systemic issues. The investigation found that the Milei government also promoted a cryptocurrency called the KIP protocol, which experienced a liquidity pool being drained after its launch in December 2024.The committee believes this indicates the government's intention to bypass regulatory bodies such as the National Securities Commission (CNV). Currently, Milei and Libra founders, including American entrepreneur Hayden Davis, are facing judicial investigations in Argentina and a class-action lawsuit filed by Burwick Law in New York. Milei has denied any wrongdoing and disbanded the special investigative task force established by his office in May, after a judge had previously ordered the Argentine Central Bank to unfreeze the bank accounts of the president and his sister, Karina Milei.

According to Lookonchain monitoring, the LIBRA token team has just withdrawn 3.94 million USDC from the liquidity pool and spent 17 million USDC to purchase 127,774 SOL at a price of 133 USDC each.

According to Cryptopolitan, Argentine judge Marcelo Giorgi has ordered the freezing of assets related to the scandal involving the meme coin LIBRA, supported by President Milei. An indefinite "prohibition order" has been imposed on the property and financial assets of Hayden Davis and two cryptocurrency operators (Argentinian Orlando Mellino and Colombian Favio Rodriguez). The cryptocurrency wallets of these two operators have shown suspicious activity and are currently under judicial review.Federal prosecutor Eduardo Taino requested this measure, supported by a technical report from departments related to financial investigations and illegal asset recovery, which recommended filing charges against the three individuals. The judge determined that the case met the criteria for reasonable suspicion and risk of delay, approving the asset preservation request, resulting in investor losses of approximately $100 million to $120 million.The judge emphasized that the prohibition order is only valid for a strictly necessary period and ordered notification to the National Securities Commission, expanding the scope of the asset freeze to all relevant platforms within Argentina. Additionally, the prosecution found that 42 minutes after Milei tweeted a selfie with Davis, Davis transferred $507,500 via Bitget, and these transfers may constitute indirect bribery.

ChainCatcher news, according to a post by the blockchain data monitoring platform Bubblemaps, shows that based on the tracked flow of funds, the core figure of the LIBRA token—CEO Hayden Davis of Kelsier Labs LLC—earned $12 million by sniping the YZY token launch.Earlier reports indicated that the crypto KOL scooter (@imperooterxbt), who was involved in exposing the insider information of the LIBRA token, stated that it can be 99% certain that Hayden Davis participated in the release of the YZY token, as the YZY model is highly similar to that of LIBRA from a few months ago.

ChainCatcher news, according to Decrypt, a federal judge in Manhattan has unblocked assets related to the notorious Libra token. The Libra token was launched in February this year and was heavily promoted by Argentine President Javier Milei, but subsequently approached zero.Previously, U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Rochon froze $57.6 million worth of USDC in June, as part of a case where the plaintiffs are claiming over $100 million. The frozen assets are located in two wallets, controlled by the defendants, Hayden Davis, CEO of venture capital firm Kelsier Labs LLC, and Ben Chow, founder of DEX Meteora.On Tuesday, Judge Rochon stated that since both individuals have complied with legal procedures thus far, their actions do not constitute those of a person evading responsibility. Therefore, she decided to lift the freeze on the $57.6 million USDC on Tuesday.In response, crypto KOL scooter (@imperooterxbt), who was involved in exposing the insider information about the LIBRA token, noted that 5 hours after Hayden Davis's funds were unfrozen, YZY was released, which is likely not a coincidence.

ChainCatcher message, Lookonchain posted on social media that although Kanye West officially announced the launch of YZY, currently only YZY has been added to the liquidity pool, with no USDC. Developers can sell YZY by adding/removing liquidity, similar to LIBRA.Multiple insider wallets prepared funds in advance and immediately bought YZY after the announcement was made. The insider wallet 6MNWV8 knew the contract address in advance and even attempted to purchase yesterday.Today, 6MNWV8 spent 450,611 USDC to buy 1.29 million YZY at a price of $0.35, and sold 1.04 million YZY for $1.39 million, leaving 249,907 YZY (approximately $600,000), with a profit exceeding $1.5 million.

ChainCatcher news, the hacker group Librarian Ghouls (also known as Rare Werewolf) has infiltrated hundreds of Russian devices and is using them for cryptocurrency mining.The group spreads malware through phishing emails disguised as legitimate organizations, establishing remote connections after infecting devices and disabling security systems such as Windows Defender. The hackers collect information on the devices' RAM, CPU cores, and GPU to optimize the configuration of cryptocurrency mining programs. This hacking incident began in December 2023, with the attack primarily affecting industrial enterprises and engineering schools in Russia, while there are also victims in Belarus and Kazakhstan.Kaspersky speculates that Librarian Ghouls may be hacktivists, as they rely on legitimate third-party tools rather than developing their own malware, which is a common tactic used by similar organizations.
