This seems to confirm speculation that Durov himself is not accused of committing these crimes, but rather than Telegram didn't do enough to prevent criminals from using it in the commission of crimes. The only exception (maybe?) is the money laundering, which seems to be a direct accusation against Durov.
It's also fascinating that they also seem to be nailing him for failing to disclose the limitations of Telegram's cryptography.

- hn1986 2y agoIf you manage a message board with illegal activity and don't do anything to take stuff down, you're going to jail. see all the people in the jail who managed sites selling drugs/weapons on Tor. Even worse if it's CSAM like Telegram was doing.
- smt88 2y agoThere are public subreddits about drugs, prostitution, and suicide assistance. Presumably the main issue here is whether Telegram was cooperating with law enforcement, but maybe I'm missing something.
- hn1986 2y agoThat's exactly it but the key differentiator is CSAM is the main and most dangerous one. Reddit doesn't have these problems with CSAM. That's what makes him indefensible. "failing to perform even basic content enforcement on public channels, with instances of known CSAM being detected and reported by our ingest systems".
