Balaji Srinivasan Threatens to Move Network School Out of Malaysia

Balaji Srinivasan, the founder of the Network School, is calling for a deal with the Malaysian government. Following a recent probe into his educational project, Srinivasan sent a message to the country's prime minister. He is looking for a clear sign that his work is wanted in the region.

The tension started after local authorities began looking into how the school operates. Srinivasan made it clear that he is not afraid to pack up and go elsewhere. He noted that if they are not welcome, many other countries would be happy to host the project instead.

The Network School is an experimental community focused on tech and decentralized living. This standoff shows the difficulties new crypto projects face when trying to find a permanent physical home. Many in the industry are now watching to see if Malaysia will try to fix the relationship or let the project leave for a more friendly shore.
