There is a new development in Durov's story.

Basically, it is speculated that there is some Mark Karpelès, a French citizen, mostly known due to Mt. Gox exchange and who had been found guilty of several white collar crimes, who then was a witness in cases, that have a lot to do with several crypto-exchange related businesses, including a case of laundering some 647000 BTC by some high profile Russian citizens through Mt. Gox (June, 2023)

Later on, on July 5th, 2024, there was some rumors about payouts to the users of Mt.Gox, amounting to ~$4 billion, which didn't go smoothly, and on the same day crypto (including TON) took a massive nosedive.

July 8th, 2024. a criminal case into illegal money laundering, drug trade, human trafficking and even distribution of child pornography had been opened, with Pavel Durov as a witness. At that time, Durov made a visit to Kazakhstan, after which TON was officially included in the list of digital assets of AIFC (Astana International Financial Centre).

July 25th, 2024, Durov deletes his TG account and purges his chat logs, after which he creates a new account.

It is speculated that this case may involve a French national, Marc Karpeles, who has been involved in numerous fraudulent schemes. There are two possible theories on this:
- Either Pavel Durov has something to do with Mt. Gox's finances and the TON blockchain is involved in this scheme, as a huge amount of TON from early miners passed through Fragment;
- Or France just needs Telegram to disclose correspondence with those involved in hacking Mt. Gox (including the abovementioned Russian citizens) and laundering huge amounts of money in Bitcoin.
