One of the wealthiest russians Roman Abramovich invested about $300M in Telegram.

That means that Roman Abramovich is the largest investor in Telegram ($300M is 35% of $850M).

The only question is - was it business investment followed by will of Abramovich or something else?

That's really bad if it's true. When thugs invest in technology there are many other risks besides reputation, trust, etc.

I don't see any bad consequences of such investing. Russians are famous of their conservative approach, but even conservatives sometimes do efforts.
