Summary

Kelsier Labs LLC, operating as Kelsier Ventures, is a Delaware-incorporated Web3 investment and marketing firm founded in 2020 and led by CEO Hayden Mark Davis and family members Gideon Davis (COO) and Charles Thomas Davis (father). The firm is the subject of multiple active legal proceedings alleging that it orchestrated coordinated pump-and-dump schemes across several high-profile Solana-based memecoins — including $M3M3, $LIBRA, and $MELANIA — resulting in alleged investor losses estimated at over $286 million. Argentine authorities have frozen assets tied to Davis and requested an Interpol Red Notice for his arrest in connection with the $LIBRA scandal.
