Telegram founder discusses Huang Renxun's departure: Founders should personally control the board

BlockBeats news, November 13: Telegram founder Pavel Durov commented on Huang Renxun's departure, stating that Huang's 'newbie mistake' was establishing a board of directors. Durov recalled being ousted by the board in 2014 for saying 'no' to intelligence personnel, and jokingly referenced intelligence allegations surrounding Huang Renxun, saying that whether one says 'yes' or 'no,' the board could still remove the founder. Pavel Durov concluded his message to entrepreneurs with: 'Don't set up a board—be the board yourself.'
