of the video to a prank video from March 17 in which Lagarde appears to speak more candidly than normal as she believed she was speaking to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The pranksters have had similar conversations with other public figures, such as Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling and former U.S. President George W. Bush. When"Zelensky" noted that “the problem is they [European protestors] don’t want to be controlled” by a Central Bank Digital Currency , Lagarde admitted that “there will be control, you’re right. You’re completely right,” but suggested it would be a “limited amount of control,” adding:
“We are considering whether for very small amounts, anything that is around 300, 400 Euros, we could have a mechanism where there is zero control. But that could be dangerous” But Lagarde noted that terrorist attacks can, and have been, entirely financed by small, anonymous transactions.
