I have no idea if it is encrypted or not. Always thought it is. But I think of offering a commercial service of something my buddy is currently offering for free on a smaller scale. And there have been police inquiries. I am US based and have a US passport. I wonder if I would have to respond to police inquiries. When is this enough, and when would I need a court order? And do I have to respond to foreign police inquiries. Demand a court order? And accept one from France, what is next? Russia? China? North Korea? I think in the end it was his French Passport that killed him. Now there are not so many options for him: He can help with providing a kind of key, backdoor whatever and can walk or gets a small sentence. I thought Telegram is encrypted and if done, in the right way, he could not provide help at all, but this seems not the case. The other option is that he asks for help from Russia. I am sure Putin could get him out in 1-2 years. Trust me, Putin has his ways with this, see Vadim Krasikov. :-) Let's hope he plays his cards wisely. Good luck.
