In this episode of Fraudology, host Karisse Hendrick delves into the recent arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov by French police. She breaks down the implications of this arrest for fraud and cybercrime, discussing how Telegram's lack of cooperation with law enforcement and its use as a platform for illicit activities has led to this significant legal action. Karisse also highlights the efforts of a small yet effective French cybercrime unit that initiated this investigation, and explores the potential repercussions for other tech giants like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk.
