In a document for the SEC, Durov did not name his investors - and this had to be done by him or their friends. So, co-founder of Qiwi Sergey Solonin said that he invested $ 17 million in Telegram, and David Yakobashvili, co-founder of Wimm-Bill-Dann, informed Vedomosti about investments of $ 10 million.
It is also assumed that Roman Abramovich invested $ 300 million, but the representative of the owner of Chelsea, John Mann, said that this information is not true.
According to a source close to Telegram, the cumulative share of investors with Russian roots in the ICO does not exceed 7%, and the maximum check from one investor is $ 20 million.

Very interesting project, but I am not convinced yet to invest in TON. I want to know more about the platform and review their white paper.
Probably some one has an information about approximate date when ICO starts?..
I want to buy some TON...

I think you should wait for the official news before investing, because it can be a scam, but I will support this project if it is provided by Telegram.
I'm almost certain that this is a scam. Just someone wanted to take advantage of the popularity of the telegram messenger and the good name of Pavel Durov. From the side of Pavel Durov there was no official confirmation of the ICO. 
I won't buy this token until it gets a cheap price with respect to the initial ico price. Because I feel like they're attempting to make a hype and this might end bad for the investors.
There are so many fake Telegram ICOs out there, please please please be careful. There are also a ton of fake Telegram chats claiming to be the ICO channel. The below link is to the latest scam.

1.2 or 3.8 - as they say in some publications, in any case - a huge number.
TON has a ico about 1.2 billion. It will be the biggest ico from now. It seems very expensive for me.
I don't think it is a good investment.

I'm really interested in their idea and feel excited when reading their leaked whitepaper.
However their scope of work is too huge, I doubt if they could deliver it on time.

Telegram even with a minimal budget without records on ICO-will be able to turn the crypto community.
Telegram has every chance of success, but also ICO can fail. But what can be precisely said it will make a big splash in the ICO market

Telegram has a unique opportunity to establish the first crypto currency value of the mass market, providing a platform that combines these properties. Telegram will use its experience in an encrypted distributed data warehouse to create a TON, a fast and scalable multi-block chain. TON can be viewed as a decentralized supercomputer and a value transfer system.
Yeah, and their plans are global. Maybe we'll see their implementation. Jump to:
