#2> The locations of his servers are a secret, as are many of the names of his employees, several of whom he’s said are fellow millionaires.
How is that possible? Are the servers behind an onion network?

#4>He sees Telegram as a charity that he’ll start to monetize early next year, but only enough to fund expansion.
Charity and monetization don't go hand in hand.
