Manuel Adorni , one of President Javier Milei ’s most trusted aides, claimed last week that an all-in bet on Bitcoin over a decade ago has funded a luxurious lifestyle that is now under scrutiny.
Argentina’s well-established crypto community is struggling to buy Adorni’s explanation to rebut allegations of illicit enrichment. A scandal that erupted on a trip to New York this year is now costing Milei, who earned his standing with voters as a leader who vowed to weed out government corruption yet is now defending his administration against its fourth major graft case.
