The lawyer therefore requested that "the international arrest of Davis be ordered and that an Interpol red notice be issued in order to locate and arrest him, with a view to his extradition," in a presentation to Argentine courts.
The LIBRA memecoin rose to a $4.4 billion market cap before plunging more than 95% last month. It had been promoted by Argentine President Javier Milei in a now-deleted tweet.
The president subsequently backtracked on his promotion of LIBRA saying he had been unaware of the details of the project and that he "decided not to continue spreading the word" once he did become aware.
LIBRA's crash is estimated to have caused losses of $251 million for its investors, according to research by Nansen.
