Ah, Pavel Durov, the illustrious architect of Telegram, has bid adieu to the land of baguettes and berets, embarking on a journey to the opulent sands of Dubai, all thanks to a benevolent court that decided to loosen the shackles of his legal entanglements.
On the fateful day of March 13, a French magistrate, perhaps feeling a touch of generosity, granted him the liberty to escape the confines of his legal restrictions for a brief sojourn of “several weeks.” How delightful! 🎉
According to a source, who shall remain nameless but undoubtedly enjoys a good gossip, “He left France this morning with the agreement of the authorities.” Another source, possibly a bird in the sky, confirmed his departure from the illustrious Le Bourget airport, a place where dreams take flight and legal troubles seem to vanish. 🕊️
Our dear Durov found himself in a bit of a pickle last August, when the French authorities, in their infinite wisdom, accused him of being a negligent guardian of his digital realm. They claimed that Telegram was a veritable playground for nefarious activities. Oh, the audacity! 😲
After a brief stint in the clutches of the law, he was released on a rather princely bail of $5.5 million, with the stipulation that he remain in France while the investigation unfolded like a poorly written novel. Now, with the court’s blessing, he flits away, leaving us to ponder whether he has truly escaped the clutches of justice or merely postponed the inevitable return. 🕵️♂️
His departure has sent ripples through the crypto pond, with Toncoin (TON) soaring by more than 18%, reaching the lofty heights of $3.41. The trading volume, in a fit of excitement, skyrocketed by 200% to a staggering $486 million, while the market cap ballooned to a dizzying $8.4 billion. Who knew legal drama could be so profitable? 💰
Durov, a man of many passports—Russian, French, and UAE—has been quite the cooperative citizen, or so he claims. “I was available and ready to respond to all requests,” he assured the investigators, perhaps with a hint of sarcasm. 🤔
Yet, the French officials, ever the skeptics, argued that Telegram was not doing enough to curb the mischief. In a rather dramatic December 2024 interrogation, Durov lamented, “I did not create Telegram for criminals,” while acknowledging that some individuals have a penchant for misusing the platform. How tragic! 😅
As he sets his sights on Dubai, a city renowned for its business-friendly atmosphere, one cannot help but wonder about the implications for privacy and governmental oversight. Meanwhile, the French officials remain tight-lipped, perhaps contemplating their next move in this grand game of cat and mouse.
