🎉🚨 Pavel Durov: From zero to billionaire in the blink of an eye! 🚨🎉
Discover the incredible story of how Telegram CEO Pavel Durov rose from “broky” to a $15 billion fortune! After extensive research into his life, success, and recent arrest, I found some shocking information... Let’s dive into the past and future of Telegram and its founder! 🧵👇

2/➮ Who is Pavel Durov?
Pavel Durov, a 39-year-old billionaire with Russian roots, is often compared to Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk, but in Russian versions. In 2006, he founded Vkontakte, a social media platform dubbed the “Facebook of Russia.”

3/➮ According to CNN, Durov left Russia in 2014 after refusing to hand over the private data of Ukrainian Vkontakte users to the Kremlin. In 2013, he launched Telegram, a messaging app that does not hesitate to criticize WhatsApp, which he calls "bad."

4/➮ In 2016, Telegram was used to plan an attack in Paris.
Following this, Durov said: "You can't make the app safe from criminals and open to governments... It's either safe or it's not safe." It was after this situation that he was arrested in France.

5/➮ The arrest in France
Durov was arrested after landing at Le Bourget airport. The Paris prosecutor announced that an investigation had been launched in July, with potential charges related to:

  • child abuse material,

  • drug trafficking,

  • of fraud,

  • money laundering,

  • and a refusal to cooperate with the authorities.

6/➮ A vague situation
To date, he has not been formally charged, but is in custody and being questioned by a financial crimes agency in France. The date of his release remains unknown.

7/➮ Telegram continues to operate!
Despite all this, Telegram is working 100% and this is not the first time the company has faced challenges:

  • Banned in Russia in 2018

  • Fine of around 5 million dollars in Germany in 2022

  • Temporarily banned in Brazil last April

And yet, Telegram continues to grow!

8/➮ Telegram users
Over 950 million active users! The app claims to be one of the “Top 5 Most Downloaded Apps” in the world. Many are now supporting Pavel, claiming that he stands for freedom of speech and data protection.

9/➮ Who supports Pavel?
Durov’s arrest has been criticized by other social media leaders. Elon Musk even tweeted a video of Durov with the hashtag #FreePavel. Chris Pavlovski, CEO of Rumble, called France’s actions a “red line.”

10/➮ Position de Telegram
In an unattributed statement on Telegram, the platform said Durov “has nothing to hide” and called it “absurd” to claim that a platform or its owner is responsible for abuse on the platform.
