DeFiTuna揭露Kelsier曾操纵MELANIA、LIBRA等多个项目收割超2亿美元

Here is the English translation:

On February 18, the founder of DeFiTuna, Moty, publicly announced on the X platform that he has fully refunded the $30,000 investment to his investor Kelsier Ventures (LIBRA token issuance advisor) and severed all ties. Kelsier had invested in DeFiTuna in January 2025. Kelsier is currently embroiled in major allegations of market manipulation involving the LIBRA, MELANIA and M3M3 issuance platforms. Moty disclosed a series of Kelsier's organized token manipulation activities.

Moty made the following allegations against Kelsier: Kelsier participated in the structural capital extraction plan of the meme issuance on the M3M3 platform; Meteora co-founder Ben and other leaders condoned his actions that harmed the community's interests; although Moty has directly contacted Meteora's core members, they lack accountability; Ben promised to step down after being questioned, but issued a vague public response. Moty said: "I am betting my personal reputation and the DeFiTuna project to expose and eliminate the wrongdoers. Kelsier previously contacted DeFiTuna through Lebanese employee Thomas, requesting liquidity support for the M3M3 platform."

The key details disclosed by Moty include: M3M3 was initially packaged as an independent platform, but was actually controlled by Meteora co-founder Ben; projects need to allocate token shares to Kelsier's team if they want to list on M3M3; DeFiTuna co-founder Vlad was passively involved, mistakenly believing the cooperation was legitimate.

Regarding the behind-the-scenes manipulation of the MATES project: Kelsier required DeFiTuna to manage the liquidity for MATES, the first project on M3M3; after the MATES token was launched, it crashed by 95%, and a screenshot on February 18 showed the team discussing "maximizing capital extraction"; Hayden Davis (Kelsier's founder) instructed: "We need to extract the maximum value from this project, regardless of the founders' intentions."

Regarding the behind-the-scenes manipulation of the MELANIA token: 1 hour before the MELANIA token was launched, Kelsier sent the token address to Vlad in advance and informed him that Trump would retweet; they transferred 1% of the tokens (peak value of $100 million) from the liquidity wallet to Vlad; Hayden required anonymous selling of all shares, and used the Orca platform's LP token NFTs to avoid on-chain tracing.

Kelsier's team has extracted $2.45 million from the community just from the MATES and AIAI projects, and the total extraction from projects like MELANIA, LIBRA, and ENRON exceeds $200 million. Moty estimates that through projects like AIAI, MATES, ENRON, MELANIA, and LIBRA, Kelsier's team has extracted over $200 million in user funds in total.

Odaily Planetary Daily Report: Meteora co-founder Ben Chow has again responded to questions about LIBRA in an article published on X. Ben Chow stated: "Meteora and I have never privately received or managed any tokens, nor have we participated in any off-chain transactions. We maintain the highest level of confidentiality regarding the launch of any tokens on the platform. For confidentiality reasons, only a few people within Meteora can access the launch information. Typically, only I know the launch time, and the token/pool addresses are only provided to me and one or two on-duty engineers (if any) a few minutes before the launch." "The complexity of DLMM means that non-crypto native users (such as celebrities, politicians, etc.) often need to hire deployers and/or market makers to launch tokens. We do not provide these services, but issuers often seek my recommendations for deployers and/or market makers. Hayden Davis of Kelsier Ventures is one of the deployers/market makers I have recommended to projects in the past few months. We do not have a special relationship with Kelsier, we only collaborated with them during the M3M3 launch a few years ago. At that time, they proved to be trustworthy, so I have recommended them to some projects, including the team behind MELANIA. As with other projects, our role is limited to technical support, and we have not purchased, received or managed any tokens related to MELANIA." "As for LIBRA, although we learned of its potential a few weeks ago through Hayden, we have not participated in the project beyond providing IT support. Neither I nor the Meteora team have leaked information to disrupt the launch of LIBRA, nor have we purchased, received or managed any tokens."

[Important News from Last Night and This Morning (February 16 - February 17)]

Argentine President Javier Milei Accused of Fraud in LIBRA Token Scandal
According to The Block, Argentine lawyers have filed a lawsuit against the country's President Javier Milei, accusing him of fraud for his involvement in the LIBRA token project. The scandal escalated over the weekend after the token's value plummeted 95% following Milei's initial promotion. Plaintiff Jonatan Baldiviezo stated: "This illegal group committed fraud, and the President's actions played a key role in it." Another plaintiff, Claudio Lozano, is an economist who previously served as the governor of the Central Bank of Argentina; a lawyer and an engineer have also joined the lawsuit. The judge in the case may appoint a prosecutor as early as tomorrow. Milei denies having prior knowledge of the token project and insists he is innocent in the scandal. His government announced yesterday that it will launch its own investigation into the token project, while his political opponents are calling for impeachment. His statement reads: "In view of the facts, President Javier Milei has decided to immediately have the Anti-Corruption Office (OA) intervene to determine whether any member of the national government, including the President himself, has engaged in any wrongdoing." Project advisor Hayden Davis accused Milei of withdrawing support for the project, leading to the price drop and loss of investor confidence.

Cantor Fitzgerald Purchased Over $100 Million in MSTR Stocks in Q4 2022
According to Bitcoin News, the bond trading giant Cantor Fitzgerald, under the previous leadership of Howard Lutnick, purchased over $100 million worth of MicroStrategy (MSTR) stocks in the fourth quarter of 2024, making it the company's largest shareholder. Their average purchase price was $229 per share, and the value of these stocks has since increased by 47%. Lutnick is currently the head of the sovereign wealth fund established by former U.S. President Trump and also serves as the Secretary of Commerce.
Later, it was reported that JPMorgan Chase has increased its holdings in MSTR by $100 million, and the California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS) has doubled its MSTR holdings, now valued at $83 million.

Jupiter: No Involvement in LIBRA Issuance, No Evidence of Front-Running by Team Members
Regarding the LIBRA token, the decentralized exchange Jupiter in the Solana ecosystem stated on the X platform: "A few members of our team learned directly from Kelsier Ventures about two weeks ago that a token project related to Argentine President Javier Milei would be launched at some point. Although we were initially skeptical, we later saw credible evidence on Milei's personal Twitter account that he was taking the matter seriously. This is the extent of what we know. We are completely unaware of the transactions between Milei and the market makers, and we have not participated in the LIBRA token issuance in any way, nor have we found any evidence of front-running by our team members."
