This guy is an entrepreneur who appears to have made his millions from social networks. Social networks normally make their money by exploiting user data. With Big Data analytics nothing ever gets deleted. You'd be foolish to assume that they are not storing every single message that passes through the Telegram servers. That data will become very valuable (if not already) but I guess we all have different interpretations of what constitutes as being trustworthy.
