        Not what this is about :

        TF1 and BFM both said the investigation was focused on a lack of moderators on Telegram, and that police considered that this situation allowed criminal activity to go on undeterred on the messaging app.

        Hes also worth 15.5 billion dollars, so its likely that being a billionaire will shield him from any real consequences.
