A memecoin creator notorious for being involved with several controversial projects is continuing to dump his coins even after a 95% drop.
New data from the blockchain tracking firm Bubblemaps is shedding light on on-chain activity of Hayden Davis, who admitted to having a role in both Libra (LIBRA), a memecoin originally backed by Argentinian President Javier Milei before he quickly disavowed it, and Melania Meme (MELANIA), a coin inspired by Melania Trump.
MELANIA began a steep descent the very day it was launched in January and is now down 95.3%.
Says Bubblemaps,
“Hayden Davis is STILL selling MELANIA
He recently sent $1 million to exchanges and extracted over $2 million from the liquidity pools…
For weeks, his MELANIA wallets were inactive – until now…
In total, Hayden sent $1,065,153 worth of MELANIA to centralized exchanges and extracted $2,050,666 from the liquidity pool over the last 14 days.
And many wallets haven’t sold yet.
Why act now?
Hayden may have seen the recent drop in attention as a window to quietly move funds while fewer people were watching
We’ll keep monitoring for further activity.”
At time of writing, MELANIA is trading for $0.615.
Argentinian authorities are reportedly attempting to have Davis arrested by Interpol for his role in LIBRA.
Says prosecutor Gregorio Dalbón,
“I’m here to request the immediate detention of Hayden Mark Davis, a citizen of the United States, who is accused of being one of the principal actors behind the launch of the cryptocurrency LIBRA…
The possibility that Davis will abandon his country of residence or hide to avoid answering for his alleged acts appears to be aggravated by the economic resources he possesses, which he can use to move or remain in hiding, hindering our investigation.”
President Milei quickly disavowed LIBRA, claiming that he was tricked into supporting its launch.
Said Milei in Spanish,
“I was not aware of the details of the project and after having become aware of it I decided not to continue spreading the word (that is why I deleted the tweet).
To the filthy rats of the political caste who want to take advantage of this situation to do harm, I want to say that every day they confirm how vile politicians are, and they increase our conviction to kick them in the a**.”
