There is no doubt that the detention of the Telegram Founder has sparked a global outcry from the tech world. While the exact reasons for his arrest remain unknown, new reports has further placed President Emmanuel Macron on the spotlight.
According to Sputnik, the Telegram Founder had a scheduled dinner with President Macron before his arrest.
This implied to many that the Durov might have been lured to the country, a classic case of betrayal. While no official sources have substantiated these claims, Florian Philippot, leader of Les Patriots Party, accused Macron of deceit. He even suggested that the arrest was a tactic to silence those defending freedom of expression.
How this case plays out remains a key catalyst that will determine the direction of Toncoin in the coming weeks. For now, the expectation is that its escalation will prevent <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/notcoin-price-0-005-toncoin-founder-cybercrime-charges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">the crash of Notcoin to $0.005</a>.
