Pavel Durov and his brother are currently experiencing bad luck - loss of wealth. Both of them. Pavel simply fled from the Russian FSB. At the same time, he is a humanities student by education, a linguist, I think, and a Telegram showcase. His brother, Nikolai, is a programmer. Nikolai wrote the encryption algorithm, which Pavel knows nothing about. He is not a programmer

. That is why Pavel so easily left for France and surrendered to the authorities. And he blamed Nikolai for everything. And Nikolai has not officially worked for Telegram for two years. Therefore, there is nothing to blame him for. As a result, the French authorities received nothing. And Telegram is controlled by the FSB, as it was before. This has been known in expert circles for 8 years. Therefore, all this is a setup to legitimize Pavel and his money in Europe and the USA. And not his money either.
