Which of all this can be concluded?

It is obvious that Pavel Durov showed highinterest in cryptocurrencies many years ago, long before the hype of 2017. Although it is impossible to establish the exact time of his purchase of bitcoins, all these events took place long before the first rumors about the launch of the Telegram cryptocurrency appeared.

It is noteworthy that Durov himself never publiclyrecognized both the fact of ownership of such a large sum in BTC and the participation in the scandal with BTC-e. Perhaps he does not believe in returning funds to investors, despite such promises from management.

Let us remind you that the BTC-e exchange was closed in 2017 inas a result of the seizure of servers by the FBI. Later, a new exchange was created on the basis of the platform &#8212; WEX, but it was also closed at the end of 2018. American authorities suspect the exchange of laundering $4 billion, and Russian Alexander Vinnik is considered the head of BTC-e. At the moment, he has been in a Greek prison for more than two years; the country’s authorities are deciding on the issue of extradition to Russia, the USA and France.
