Zhaojun's arrest by Chinese police in May 2023 led to the collapse of the $1.6 billion Multichain protocol.
Zhaojun He, co-founder and CEO of cross-chain bridging protocol Multichain, has resurfaced on Telegram for the first time since his unexplained and continuous detention by Chinese police last year.
According to user reports on Jan. 16, Zhaojun's Telegram profile now displays as "last seen recently," compared to the previous "last seen a long time ago," indicating user activity. The current message is only displayed for individuals who have been active on the social media platform within the past three days. The CEO's account posted no new messages.
"Can still be the police office accessing his Telegram so it doesn't get auto-deleted," one user commented. "But can also mean zj [Zhaojun] has access again to his phone."
