in reply to Eibriel • • •Disappointing interview from Milei. No new information.
According to him there was no scam, people willingly gambled their money.
On top of that he says only a handful of highly specialized traders took part on that, "at most 5 argentine traders".
He says that the idea of his account being hacked was a scheme, but didn't explained to what end.

He had some info about the project in advance. But is unclear in what detail.
According to him nobody asked to post the tweet, he saw that the project was out and published by his own initiative. Unclear how he was able to do that in just a couple minutes.
