Abstract: We test some recent conjectures about extremal selfdual CFTs, which are the candidate holographic duals of pure gravity in $Ad{S}_3$. We prove that no $c=48$ extremal selfdual CFT or SCFT may possess Monster symmetry. Furthermore, we disprove a recent argument against the existence of extremal selfdual CFTs of large central charge.
