In a document for the SEC, Durov did not name his investors - and this had to be done by him or their friends. So, co-founder of Qiwi Sergey Solonin said that he invested $ 17 million in Telegram, and David Yakobashvili, co-founder of Wimm-Bill-Dann, informed Vedomosti about investments of $ 10 million.

It is also assumed that Roman Abramovich invested $ 300 million, but the representative of the owner of Chelsea, John Mann, said that this information is not true.

According to a source close to Telegram, the cumulative share of investors with Russian roots in the ICO does not exceed 7%, and the maximum check from one investor is $ 20 million.

Some news from russian media

Quote
At the pre-sale, the owners of Telegram intend to take away $ 850 million from investors, and the bids are collected for $ 3.8 billion, "said the employee of the venture fund and the person who failed to invest in Telegram, but he hopes to buy back the share from the more fortunate funds. Approved owners of Telegram payments for up to ICO must be up to February 1"

Quote
Early investors intend to resell the "Grams", bought by the Crypt, the member of the syndicate of investors. Different interlocutors of the newspaper say about the premium reselling in 20-30%, some believe that instead of $ 0.3 for 1 token, the price of it will rise to $ 3.5. The collected funds Telegram will spend on the future block-platform Telegram Open Network (TON), a hypothetical competitor Visa and Mastercard.

If they managed to dev Telegram without an ICO, why would they launch one now? guys go and participate in my activity token project's campaign, you could earn $160 every week. it's not an ICO, no fair distribution, nothing at all, I'm asking people directly to give their money to me.

This is a free market and I need money, go now. a man has got to eat right?
Do you also think ico for Telegram Unreal? in my opinion, the whole situation reminds only the desire to make money on this company. Apparently Telegram is already working successfully, but why create token?

Telegram good app and service, but this does haven't monetization model

Durov mentions currency "Gram" in Twitter in context of scam, but keeps silence about the rest of another news.

High entry threshold (rumors)
"The pre-sale is only open to syndicates/people with $20m and is likely closed / soon closed."

ICO is likely to be around March 2018 according to some rumours.

And finded whitepaper
