You guys aren't seeing the bigger picture.

TG LLC got 1.7 bil USD with two rounds of investment. US based investors are returned 72% of original fund. Those 28% are 500 mil USD.

It's rumored that TG CEO got 300 mil selling his share of VK, so in the end he returned all personal investment on TG development. Who's behind all those funds, private investors etc. How many of those are under US sanctions really?

And now, upon failing to submit the reasonable paperwork even thought they had quite expensive and experienced lawyers, Pavel suddenly calls for unban in Russia. Like a week later a legislation appears and almost immediately after that the deal is done.

Reconciliation happened unbelievably quick. Or his words have so much power now?

Just think Crypto AG serving the purposes of BND and CIA when you talk about Telegram.
