$NOT #NOT🔥🔥🔥 #PavelDurov Telegram’s Pavel Durov was — and wasn’t — at the TON conference in Dubai
Durov was arrested in France in August.
His presence was felt at a recent TON conference.
Telegram and TON have a longstanding connection.
Over the weekend, Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of Telegram, showed up in Dubai — in spirit.
At the annual conference for TON, the blockchain closely associated with Telegram, doodles on a large chalkboard plugged a video game inspired by Durov.
One booth had a life-size cardboard cutout of the CEO. And another displayed a buff, cartoonish Durov to advertise a fitness app.
The Telegram CEO, however, wasn’t in the United Arab Emirates. He was in France.
