🚨 Middleman Ban-wave!

Today, Telegram started mass-freezing middlemen accounts in what appears to be a coordinated ban-wave.

Middlemen including @Scrizon and @Cupid, have been affected, along with several known scammers including @Souls, @Nest and @Xavier. The exact reason behind the crackdown remains unclear.

Notably, @Scrizon’s username was a non-NFT, meaning that if the account is not unfrozen, the username could be permanently lost.

Do you think Telegram are going for all middlemen, or just users involved in black-hat/shady deals? 🤔
