The CEO of describes safety in Dubai like this in Telegram, but I remember the recent incident with Novak, who presented himself as a friend of Durov and launched the Fintopio platform in Telegram. When it comes to safety:According to the investigation, in October of this year, on the territory of the United Arab Emirates, the perpetrators kidnapped a man and his wife with the aim of extorting cryptocurrency. Later, both victims were killed, and their bodies were buried in the desert.” The couple left behind two children. According to information, the volume of investments in his projects amounted to about $500 million.Apparently, this doesn’t quite correlate.Strangely enough, the CEO timely left Dubai for Europe on a private flight, without naming the country. It seems this gentleman has access to insider information — just a week before the attack in the UAE, he simply checked out of his apartment.(For context: the incident refers to Roman Novak, a Russian crypto figure who claimed ties to Pavel Durov, raised huge funds for Fintopio, and was later kidnapped and murdered in the UAE along with his wife in late 2025.)
