The Pattern: (Privatised gains, socialised losses = austerity)
Here's what this looks like:
Step 1: Create Dependencies
#Tether becomes critical to Argentina's economy
Tether invests heavily in Argentine companies
Argentine economy dependent on crypto functioning
Step 2: Create Crisis
Milei's LIBRA scandal undermines confidence
Argentine peso under pressure
Tether needs to raise money (why?)
Step 3: Create Solution
US announces $20B bailout using obscure fund
Bypasses normal safeguards (IMF, Fed)
Tether announces $20B fundraising same day
Secrecy prevents scrutiny
Step 4: Profit
Bailout stabilizes Argentina
Benefits Tether's investments
Benefits Lutnick (manages Tether's money)
Benefits crypto industry (prevents collapse)
Taxpayers take the risk
Classic privatize gains, socialize losses.
