The conference was actually supposed to begin hours ago. The korean banking representatives have been ready and waiting for some time, as Sergey spent half of may and most of june writing his speech in preparation for the big day. He kept it on an encrypted USB drive to prevent any leaks, but it seems that Rory misplaced it somewhere while cleaning the office. No one has been able to find it as of yet and Sergey isn't allowing anyone to write up a new post either, because "it won't be the same". The whole staff has been searching for it these past few days - they were even called in during the weekend. This is at a crucial time where Chainlink still needs to stress-test its systems and make a lot of final-moment bug fixes before going live. The delay is causing jobs to pile up on the pivotal, where the velocity has fallen to low single-digit numbers. The Korean side of the deal is fucking pissed off with Sergey for keeping them waiting, such a act is considered extremely disrespectful in Korean culture.

Rory is doing some damage control by trying to make it seem like Sergey is still preparing his speech, but we all know that he would've had something like that ready in advance. Time is running out fast and I'm afraid that by the time they do find the flashdrive (if ever), they will be hopelessly behind schedule and the Korea banking deal is going to be a huge flop and fail. If the USB isn't found soon the price of chainlink is going to collapse forever.
