    I just don’t understand how a person could be so dumb as to send something illegal, regardless of what it is, to a single person over telegram—which is clearly not a private method of communication. It’s obviously a cop.

    I mean, it’s good he did because now he’s busted.

      I’ve said this before, if not for dumb criminals, a lot more people would be out of jail for crimes.

          Its more that the smartest crooks are busy running our society and a justice system that actually tries to enact justice would get in the way of that.

      which is clearly not a private method of communication.

      When Telegram touts itself as secure encrypted communication and how it values privacy, I can understand why he thought he’d be safe. He looks like he’s probably in his 40s like I am, meaning he’s old enough to not get this sort of thing because he didn’t grow up with it.

      Edit: Not defending what happened, I’m glad he was caught and I don’t care that he didn’t understand what Telegram was advertising.

        Anyone in their 40s grew up with technology and should know that it can never be trusted.

        And it wasn’t telegram that (probably) gave them away. They probably met someone online in a an insecure place, then suggested they move to telegram to trade files. Dumb dumb dumb.
