A new institution, the Libra Trust, has emerged to fulfill part of the original purpose of the Libra token, which was launched with this purpose in mind. The trust, which has been allegedly funded with a percentage of the Libra token launch proceeds, will offer grants to Argentine companies through its website.

Data researcher Fernando Molina linked the fund movements registered last week, pairing almost $100 million worth of cryptocurrency that was moved out of wallets tied to the Libra token launch to this initiative.

Nonetheless, the site only states that it is operating “independently of Hayden Davis and Javier Milei,” without offering more information about the trustee and the protector designated to manage and oversee the trust’s activities.

Also, it acknowledges the legal challenges faced and that the funds powering its activity were transferred “on legal advice.”

The trust’s launch was criticized heavily by Nicholas Rechanik, an attorney who represents those affected by Libra in Argentina. “This is just another example of these people taking advantage of the situation, believing they are above Argentine law, US law, and the rights of those affected,” he stated.

Having been greenlighted by Jennifer Rochon, the Federal Judge in charge of the Libra class action lawsuit, in the U.S., the trust might be a way out of harm for Davis and others with ties to wrongdoing linked to the Libra platform.

By fulfilling the original purpose, Davis might claim that there was no crime committed, given that he has no control over these funds.

The usage of these funds and the transparency in the management of the trust will be crucial to the future of the Libra case, both in Argentina and the U.S., and to determine the responsibilities of those involved.
