Telegram isn’t E2EE by default.

My bet is on the fact that they are based in Russia, so they don’t give a shit about a US warrant or subpoena.

Telegram isn't based in Russia (anymore). The company is incorporated in Dubai since 2017 [0]. They opposed Russian warrants in the past, resulting in the blocking of the app in the territory for some time [1].
