How is this surprising? He's an anarcho-capitalist, his profound belief is that people getting scammed deserve it. What's surprising to me is that he didn't do it earlier.

My bet is late 2025 for the same thing happening in the US.

Well, he is not an anarcho-capitalist in motion since the Argentinian currency rate is not free to trade, so there is an incredible act here promoting an scammy token: you are free to buy and sell an scam, will be scammed, but you cannot trade a real asset in the free market.

Anarcho capitalists are never in motion to be fair. Once they understand the two words are contradictory, they quite often turn towards authoritarian capitalism/liberalism.

He did it before; he publicly admitted that he got ~ us$10k to promote CoinX, and another time with $VULC.
