Me fui de Venezuela. Llegué a Argentina. He vivido la inflación en dos países y de dos formas distintas.

Esa experiencia es la razón por la que hoy construyo infraestructura financiera para fintechs y neobanks en LATAM y África.

Escribí sobre eso en mi más reciente articulo.

Outrage in Venezuela after a video emerges which shows the Venezuelan regime’s feared Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello blocking members of a U.S. rescue delegation from helping Venezuelans.

“Don’t you want me to go and help the person who’s there?”

The regime is politicizing aid, delaying independent teams, stealing resources and prioritizing control as well as PR over speed.

Queridos influencers o emprendedores tech venecos: a veces es mejor no postear nada y simplemente dejar que la cosas pasen.

Montar la millonésima página vibecodiada con claude no va a salvar gente en La Guaira, se los prometo.

Once again, the “professor” leaves out half the story around OFAC sanctions and how el chavismo stole everything (and i don’t think it’s by accident) here’s the part he keeps skipping:

yeah, eo 13850 and 13884 create real secondary-sanctions risk for some non-us companies that deal with the venezuelan government or work in certain sectors. that’s why a lot of firms started asking for @USTreasury OFAC licenses or comfort letters before touching state-controlled entities. i’ll give him that. the chilling effect was real. but that’s not the same as saying the rules were built to make hospitals, medical equipment or rescue machinery impossible to get. those same orders come with humanitarian carve-outs and general licenses that specifically allow medical, food and emergency-relief transactions when you structure them right.

what actually gutted our infrastructure isn’t that “sanctions blocked everything.” it’s what the government did with the money it already had. for more than a decade our country pulled in close to a trillion dollars in oil revenue, plus extra cash through shady funds like fonden. most of that never turned into hospitals, working ambulances or any kind of disaster response. it got drained. according to internal pdvsa documents the nyt reported on, for every two dollars that came in from oil, about one walked out the door. and the worst of it happened during the boom years, before the 2019 oil sanctions even existed.

you can’t pin empty hospitals on sanctions when the money to build them was already gone.

and here’s how you know: even under sanctions, the regime kept importing whatever it actually wanted. china, russia and turkey kept trading through state firms and middlemen. the trade never stopped, it just got pricier and ran through proxies.

the corruption moved through offshore shells and frontmen too. the clap food program under alex saab scheme are documented cases where billions flowed through fake companies and stand-ins while our hospitals and civil-protection equipment got nothing.

so yeah, sanctions add risk and make compliance a headache. nobody serious argues otherwise. but a headache didn’t empty pdvsa. corruption did.

the looting came first. the sanctions came second. a trillion dollars came into our country during the boom years, no oil sanctions anywhere in sight, and it didn’t become hospitals or ambulances or rescue gear. it became mansions, offshore accounts and fortunes for a connected few. when the regime wanted to bring in luxury goods through proxies, it always found a way. the “blockade” only ever seemed to apply to the things that would have helped regular venezuelans like us.

so the next time someone blames washington for the bodies under the rubble in la guaira, ask the one question that actually matters: where did the money go? it didn’t disappear into some sanctions rule. it was stolen, methodically, for twenty years, by the same people now begging the world to feel sorry for them.

(he won’t debate this honestly, and i think we all understand why, he’s just a propagandist) so i’ll keep answering him right here, every time. for every lie they try to launder into the timeline, there will be a venezuelan with the receipts.

this is the communications battle, and we’re going to fight it lie by lie. we lived it. we know exactly what happened to that money. we are not stupid, and we are not going to stay quiet.

My response to the community note:
Executive Order 13850 and 13884 allow the US government to impose secondary sanctions on non-US firms operating in designated sectors of the Venezuelan economy or determined to have provided material assistance to the government of Venezuela. US authorities highly publicized and actively enforced these orders.
In August 2019, then-National Security Advisor John Bolton said that by approving EO 13884, the U.S. was "sending a signal to third parties that want to do business with the Maduro regime: proceed with extreme caution. There is no need to risk your business interests with the United States for the purposes of profiting from a corrupt and dying regime."
Between 2019 and 2025, the U.S. sanctioned at least 70 entities, individuals or vessels using these authorities. As a result both of the existence of these provisions and their active use, it became commonplace for non-US companies to refuse to enter into transactions with the government of Venezuela or its controlled entities without an explicit OFAC license or comfort letter. Even Chinese companies, such as CNPC, suspended dealings with Venezuela for fears of secondary sanctions.
The fact that OFAC issued authorizations to non-US firms implies that it considered that it had the authority to bar non-authorized transactions. The community note's reading of US jurisdiction limits is therefore strongly at odds with the US government's own interpretation as reflected in standing OFAC policy.

Yo en cambio puedo criticar libremente lo que está mal y lo que está bien, porque yo soy patriota y nacionalista, tú lo que eres es un lameculos jajaja

De no creerse la defensa tan inverosímil que está dando Milei en la entrevista en TN con Viale:

Primero dice que los que estaban comprando $LIBRA sabían en que se metían, que era como ir al casino y que no hay a quien reclamar cuando pierdes en el casino.

Acto seguido se CONTRADICE diciendo que compartió el proyecto de buena fé porque era una plataforma que resolvía un problema importante para Argentina (de financiación a PYMES)

Y así no para de caer en absurdas contradicciones.

- Dijo que novelli es una persona brillante.

- Que confía en TODOS sus funcionarios.

- Que es un tecnólogo entusiasta y que tuvo acceso al token 3 minutos después de su creación porque se "enteró" no explicó cómo, pero lo hace ver como algo fortuito lo cual quiso apoyar.

No resiste un interrogatorio ante la prensa y menos ante un juez.

Con esto culmino mi cobertura y apreacion de los hechos.

Es todo señor juez!

¿En qué país del mundo una vieja del clap decide que es lo más prioritario en temas de salud? POR ENCIMA de médicos y enfermeras.

Son unos criminales y no alcanzarán los tribunales internacionales para juzgarlos por cada delito de lesa humanidad.

Tal como discutí con La Vanguardia, las actuales exenciones humanitarias dictadas por la OFAC son insuficientes para atender una tragedia de esta magnitud.
