Venemaa erakapitaliettevõte kaebas Telegrami TON-i ebaõnnestunud investeeringu pärast kohtusse: raport

Da Vinci Capital on väidetavalt esitanud Telegrami vastu Londoni kohtusse hagi, et saada tagasi raha, mille tema investorid olid pannud GRAM-i žetoonidele, mida kunagi ei käivitunud.

Esmaspäeval intervjuu with RBC, Da Vinci’s managing partner Oleg Jelezko said that the firm was suing the messenger app. The suit follows a taotleda mille Da Vinci saatis veebruari lõpus Telegramile raha tagastamiseks, mis takerdus USA väärtpaberi- ja börsikomisjoni ning potentsiaalse märgiemitendi vahelisesse õigusvaidlusesse. 

Back in 2018, Telegram managed to sell purchase agreements for $1.7 billion worth of GRAM tokens, which were to be the native currency of the Telegram Open Network. Unfortunately for the messenger app, the SEC issued a cease and desist on the eve of the network’s launch in October 2019, beginning a legal battle that would ultimately shut down the network and nõuda Telegramilt 1.2 miljardi dollari tagastamist.

Over the course of that legal battle, Telegram’s investors faced conflicting and confusing information, compromising their ability to make reasonable decisions with their money, Jelezko told RBC.

Moskvas asuv ja Guernseys registreeritud Da Vinci Capital on spetsialiseerunud erainvesteeringutele tehnoloogiaettevõtetesse. Tütarettevõtte Disruptive Era Technologies kaudu kogus Da Vinci 50 investorit ja nõustus ostma 72,136,000 45.4 XNUMX dollari väärtuses GRAM-e, tehes lõpuks Telegramile XNUMX miljonit dollarit makseid iga SEC-i Telegrami vastu esitatud hagi kohta.

Da Vinci’s suit has yet to appear in London court records as of publication time. RBC’s sourcing says it requests compensation of some $20 million. In his interview, Jelezko said he anticipated other investors joining with similar claims internationally. 

Telegram’s legal team had not responded to The Block’s request for comment. The number that Da Vinci Capital nimekirjad kuna selle Londoni kontor kuulub hoopis ettevõttele ITI Capital Ltd. Da Vinci Capitaliga ei õnnestunud kommentaari saamiseks ühendust saada.
