That's a bail amount of 0.03% of Pavel Durov's personal net worth

For a person who has $100,000 in net worth, that would be a bail amount of $30

Looks like the encryption charges mentioned in the arrest warrant are no longer there.

I'd love to know more about the specific laws the prosecution is resting their case on.

Which "encryption charges mentioned in the arrest warrant" are you talking about? Has the warrant been published somewhere?
