I know that, but Telegram pulled out of the project after their legal battle with the SEC. As I said, it's fine if you have suspicions that they are still tied, but unless there is falsifiable, this is indiscernible from a journalist not understand what they are publishing. Given the state of tech journalism nowadays, that's my bet.

> I know that, but Telegram pulled out of the project after their legal battle with the SEC. They've tried to legally distance themselves from the project, but they haven't "pulled out". Telegram has gone well out of their way to develop and release new features which rely on TON / Fragment, like the "collectible usernames" feature I mentioned, as recently as last year. This isn't something that TON could have developed on their own; it required support not only from the Telegram apps, servers, and API, but also administrative support from Telegram to seize some usernames from users and make them available to TON/Fragment for resale. I'm not sure what you're trying to suggest is "falsifiable" here. These are all things which are visible to end users; anyone can verify them.
