Former Aptos Advisor BuzzlamicJihad Ends Role and Shifts Meme Campaign to Meta Stock

BuzzlamicJihad, the pseudonymous memer who became closely associated with Aptos during its 2025 community-driven run, has left his advisory role at the project and is now redirecting his online campaign toward Meta Platforms. Buzz told Decrypt that his contract with Aptos had simply reached its endpoint, with neither side choosing to extend it. He also said he has sold his APT holdings. Buzz first gained traction after building a highly engaged online following around Aptos, pushing repeated slogans such as 「Aptos lookin’ good here」 and 「sidelined?」 while framing the token as underappreciated. He formally joined Aptos as an advisor in October 2025, saying at the time that he wanted to improve the project’s image and present it as a premium stablecoin network. A year later, that arrangement is over. His new focus is Meta, a move he says is consistent with the original logic behind his Aptos thesis because of Aptos’ links to former Facebook-led stablecoin efforts. Buzz argues that this campaign will differ from his Aptos playbook, saying Meta does not need a hostile takeover and that the company also has strong fundamentals. Still, the scale is far larger: Meta’s market capitalization stands at $1.59 trillion, making it 2,619 times bigger than Aptos.

Argentine judge dismisses LIBRA meme coin case against President Javier Milei, clears 11 people

An Argentine federal judge on Oct. 23 ruled that the case tied to President Javier Milei’s promotion of the LIBRA meme coin does not constitute a crime, clearing Milei, his sister Karina Milei, and nine others. According to Infobae, Judge Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi accepted prosecutor Eduardo Taiano’s request to dismiss the case, finding that the facts under investigation did not fit any criminal offense. The presidential office welcomed the ruling and said the judge relied on Article 336, paragraph 3 of the National Code of Criminal Procedure, which allows dismissal when the investigated conduct is not criminal. The ruling said there was no specific false statement that induced buyers to purchase LIBRA, and described the token’s market as the kind of highly volatile environment typical of meme coins. The judge also said economic losses alone do not amount to a crime and noted that Milei’s post came from a personal account without the use of public resources. Investors who had joined the case were removed in July, and that decision was upheld in September. They have now petitioned the Federal Criminal Cassation Court, which will decide whether they can regain standing and appeal the dismissal.

Argentine judge closes $LIBRA case against Milei and 10 others, says promotion alone does not amount to fraud

An Argentine federal judge has dismissed the criminal case tied to the $LIBRA memecoin affair, clearing President Javier Milei, his sister Karina Milei, Hayden Davis and eight others. In a 60-page ruling signed on Oct. 23, Judge Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi said the facts alleged in the case did not fit any criminal offense under Article 336, paragraph 3 of Argentina’s criminal procedure code. The ruling adopted the position previously advanced by prosecutor Eduardo Taiano, who had formally asked for the case to be closed. The court said a sequence of events by itself — promotion, a sharp price surge, a collapse and investor losses — was not enough to prove fraud. According to the ruling, prosecutors would have needed to show a legally relevant act of deception, such as false representations about the project or the concealment of key information. The judge also wrote that Milei’s public stature may have amplified the project’s visibility and influenced trust among some buyers, but that visibility and trust do not automatically constitute fraudulent conduct. The decision comes after months of scrutiny over Milei’s Feb. 14, 2025 X post promoting $LIBRA, a token that briefly reached a market capitalization above $4.5 billion before falling about 95% within hours. The ruling says more than 40,000 buyers were affected. Unless excluded investors regain standing as private plaintiffs, the dismissal could become final within days.

Milei responds to LIBRA ruling, says political and media campaign caused "coup-style" damage

Argentine President Javier Milei has responded after he and his sister, Karina Milei, were judicially cleared in the $LIBRA cryptocurrency case. In his remarks, Milei asked who would compensate him for the reputational damage he said he suffered over "one year, eight months, and nine days" because of what he described as lies, defamation, and insults. He said the judiciary had "put things back in their proper place" and argued that the case exposed a "huge political and media operation." According to Milei, the sole purpose of that operation was to damage the presidency through what he called a "coup-style" political objective. He also singled out and criticized several journalists. Earlier reports said an Argentine court had dropped the criminal investigation into both Milei and his sister in connection with the LIBRA case.

Milei posts lengthy response to LIBRA scandal after Argentine judge dismisses criminal probe

Argentine President Javier Milei published a lengthy post on X after an Argentine judge dismissed a criminal investigation tied to the earlier LIBRA token scandal, according to Odaily. In the statement, Milei said he had endured "one year, eight months, and nine days" of lies, smears, and defamation aimed at damaging his reputation and honor. He said the judiciary had once again put the matter in its proper place and described the episode as a large-scale political and media operation intended to undermine the authority of the presidency for what he called a political coup purpose. Milei also said the lawsuit had been politically exploited by some opposition factions and by other forces, including the La Nacion group and its associates, which he accused of using the case to pressure the government in exchange for avoiding tax liabilities. He went on to name several journalists, including Hugo Alconada Mon, Carlos Pagni, Paulino Rodrigues, Natalia Volosin, and Novaresio, and asked who would answer for what he called the garbage they had spread. He ended the post by saying that truth always prevails in the end.

Argentine Judge Dismisses LIBRA Criminal Case Against Javier Milei and 10 Others

An Argentine federal judge on Oct. 23 dismissed the criminal case tied to the LIBRA memecoin, ruling that the facts described in the file did not amount to a crime. The decision covers President Javier Milei, presidential Secretary-General Karina Milei, and nine others, including Kelsier Ventures’ Hayden Davis. Judge Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi adopted federal prosecutor Eduardo Taiano’s position, saying the request was supported by the evidence and that, in the absence of any independent accusation, the case should be dismissed under article 336, section 3 of Argentina’s national code of criminal procedure. The ruling also states that the proceedings leave the reputations of those investigated intact. The judge said the record did not establish criminally relevant deception, even if a sitting president’s endorsement could have expanded LIBRA’s reach and influenced buyer trust. He also found no official act or use of public resources connected to the project, rejecting allegations against Javier Milei tied to abuse of authority and negotiations incompatible with public office. As for Karina Milei, the court said the evidence did not show any concrete illicit exchange or that she acted as a paid intermediary. The ruling is not yet final, and the file will be archived only once it becomes final. The case traces back to Milei’s Feb. 14, 2025 X post promoting LIBRA, a token that later plunged more than 94% within 11 hours of launch, according to Cointelegraph citing Dexscreener data.

Argentine court drops criminal probe into President Milei and his sister over LIBRA case

An Argentine federal judge has ordered the criminal investigation into President Javier Milei and his sister, Karina Milei, to be dropped over their roles in the LIBRA meme coin case, according to court records cited by Reuters. Argentine outlet La Nación had previously reported that prosecutor Eduardo Taiano requested the case be dismissed. The investigation began in February 2025 and focused on possible fraud tied to the issuance of the LIBRA token. Milei had promoted the token in a post on X, after which the token's price fell sharply. He later deleted the post and denied having any connection to the token.

Argentine judge dismisses LIBRA-linked criminal case against Javier Milei and 10 others

An Argentine judge has dismissed a criminal case tied to the LIBRA token that had named President Javier Milei and 10 other people. According to The Defiant, the ruling also covered Milei’s sister, Karina Milei, and Hayden Davis. Separately, a class-action lawsuit brought by New York investors over LIBRA had already been dismissed in September. The development narrows two legal tracks that had targeted parties connected to the token, one in Argentina and another in New York. No additional details on the court’s reasoning were provided in the source material. The report was cited by ChainCatcher, which attributed the information to The Defiant.
