Refers Telegram to the DoJ for criminal prosecution, which results in bank accounts being frozen, any SAFT holders (or anyone else) who sold their Grams being on the hook to the buyers, and the seizure of Telegram’s assets in America and anywhere else with a mutual prosecution treaty, which covers much of the EU.
At the point of wilfully defying a court order to sell securities, it becomes fraud and potentially money laundering.
Also, a big part of their target audience of Gram early holders is in USA, so they also obviously care about the legality of these transactions. For them it's not sufficient to have some technical workaround that enables them to sell the tokens they have, they need a solution that allows them to do so legally.
Why are you spreading this lie? It’s very well known by now that Telegram was primarily developed in St. Petersburg, in a building shared with VKontakte.

>While Durov comes from Russia, he is in exile
Durovs exile is very fleeting, normally you wouldn't visit the country you're in exile from... https://tjournal.ru/tech/52954-durov-back-in-ussr https://lenta.ru/news/2017/03/20/durov/
I should also add the obligatory note that Telegram has shipped obvious backdoors in the past allowing them to selectively decrypt secret chats https://habr.com/en/post/206900/
lol @ the downvoting TON bagholders
They can sanction individual directors (ban them from holding office in any US corporation)
They can freeze any US assets
They can ban any US companies transacting with them
