That´s actually admitting a mistake, or admitting having commited a crime. I assume that was the easiest and fastest way to end this tragedy of a law suit, but I think it leaves a sour taste to it, not against Telegram but to regulatory folks
I don't see this a mistake, but rather a bureaucracy against new technology and digital projects.
Telegram wasn't about the scam in the first place, however their plan was a bit sketchy in terms of US laws
