Toncoin (TON), The Open Network's native token, has taken a hit, dropping 20% after Telegram CEO Pavel Durov was arrested in France.
Pavel, who had just stepped off a plane from Azerbaijan, was arrested by French authorities at Le Bourget airport in Paris. Why? They charged him with Telegram’s alleged laxity in content moderation, which they say allowed all sorts of illegal things to happen—fraud, drug trafficking, and even pedophilia.
Not the headlines the crypto community wanted to see.
