* White-collar crimes are estimated to make up only 3% of federal prosecutions.

* White-collar crime prosecutions decreased 53.5% from 2011 to 2021.

* Annual losses from white-collar crimes as of 2021 are anywhere from $426 billion to $1.7 trillion. The wide range here is due to the lack of prosecutions.

* There were 4,180 white-collar prosecutions in 2022.

* It’s estimated that up to 90% of white-collar crimes go unreported.

Etc.

Guys the connection is clear if you think about it.

High-net-worth individuals use encrypted messaging apps more than the general population, without doubt.

They also have far more resources and abilities to fight a subpoena. It's all distinctively unfair and highly misleading to normal people; for very little real reason and with great potential for abuse.

Most prisoners in the US though are state prisoners (i.e., convicted by a state court) not federal prisoners (by a large margin I think). Lots of people are convicted in a state court for example of showing up at a bank branch with fake id and trying to cash a check. I gather that would be considered a white-collar crime?

You change the subject in each comment and it’s not clear how any of this relates to Telegram.

I don't understand the connection between these statistics and your claim that wealthy people don't use insecure messaging apps.
