Russia’s FSB Accuses Telegram Founder Pavel Durov of Aiding Terrorism According to Reuters, Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has formally accused Telegram founder Pavel Durov of aiding terrorist activities and issued an international arrest warrant for him. The FSB said the charges stem from Telegram’s failure to remove content allegedly used by Ukrainian special services as well as terrorist and extremist organizations to prepare and coordinate sabotage, terrorist activities, and cyber fraud in Russia. Neither Durov nor Telegram had immediately commented on the allegations. Previously, in August 2024, Durov was arrested in France and faced 12 charges, mainly related to insufficient content moderation on Telegram that allegedly enabled issues including child sexual exploitation and drug trafficking. He was later released but remained under judicial supervision and was restricted from leaving France.

"You now have this global demand for US equities creating unmet pressure. There have been attempts throughout history to bridge global liquidity. Blockchain is the latest one, and I think the one that is inevitable." @toly @TurnerNovak
