Yesterday as our team finished setting up our stage and began preparing to rehearse the program for tonight, our venue— the Russell Industrial Center, informed us that they will not permit us to go forward with the event, in breach of our contract with them.
We attempted to negotiate with the property manager but they had already called the police who forced our ~100 person team to leave the premises and threatened to criminally trespass us. They locked the doors with much of our equipment still inside. We will be pursuing legal action against the venue for breach of contract.
Over the last 24 hours we have been working nonstop to put together an alternative venue but on such short notice we have not been able to find a venue that can accommodate our nearly 2,000 guests while guaranteeing your safety and privacy or meeting our standards for an exceptional experience.
We will be in touch shortly with sponsors, AF students, and VIP guests about an exclusive, closed-door event that we will hold later tonight. Watch your email inbox within the next hour for more information.
I am sorry to everybody who traveled to Detroit for this event. We will be in contact with ticket-holders about refunds in the coming weeks. We intend to reschedule AFPAC IV at a later date this year.
This is a completely outrageous situation and although it was outside our control, I promise that I will make it up to all of you with an event later this year.
I know you are all disappointed, as am I and my entire team. But we must accept these trials as an unavoidable condition of our struggle.

n the U.S. people generally use Bitcoin as an alternative investment, helping diversify a portfolio apart from stocks and bonds. You can also use Bitcoin to make purchases, but the number of vendors that accept the cryptocurrency is still limited. Big companies that accept Bitcoin include Overstock, AT&T and Twitch. You may also find that some small local retailers or certain websites take Bitcoin, but you’ll have to do some digging. That said, PayPal has announced that it will enable cryptocurrency as a funding source for purchases this year, financing purchases by automatically converting crypto holdings to fiat currency for users. “They have 346 million users and they’re connected to 26 million merchants,” says Spencer Montgomery, founder of Uinta Crypto Consulting. “It’s huge.”
Telegram auto-delete message, expiring invites, and more
elegram is updating its messaging app with options for auto-deleting messages, expiring invite links, and new unlimited groups, the company shared in a blog post. Much like Signal, Telegram received a burst of new users in the confusion over WhatsApp’s privacy policy and now the company is adopting features that were already part of its competitors’ apps, features which offer more security and privacy. Auto-deleting messages were already possible in Telegram’s encrypted Secret Chats, but this new update for iOS and Android adds the option to make messages disappear in any kind of chat. Auto-delete can be enabled inside of chats, and set to delete either 24 hours or seven days after messages are sent. Auto-delete won’t remove every message though; if a message was sent before the feature was turned on, it’ll stick around. Telegram’s competitors have had similar features: WhatsApp introduced a feature in 2020 and Signal has had disappearing messages since at least 2016.
