Telegram founder also lies a lot. First he says that Telegram developers are not in Russia, out of the FSB reach, but later proofs emerge that they work for Russia from the same office where VK developers worked from. Google Anton Rosenberg and his lawsuit. [1] The public position of Durov ("this man is just crazy freak") is very unconvincing, to say the least. I'd even suspect that it is plausible that Russian authorities have some leverage on Telegram, and all this conflict with RosComNadzor is just a publicity stunt. After all, the only "loss" of a Russian government is RosComNadzor reputation, which is bad anyway.

I guess he has to protect his team. US government tried to bribe his programmers to weaken system security.
