This person has faked "evidence" to support a ridiculous claim about Liblast (which is verifiably false).
The person has also created fake issue tickets and tried to pull developer's attention to a supposed vulnerability (which makes no sense either and had no substance provided).
Don't let this person deceive you. We don't know what their agenda is yet, but they are certainly malicious.

IMO Telegram should be treated like Facebook: if you're registered there, don't leave any details, configure all chats to self-delete (especially non-private ones), and FFS do not use it for group chats, whether they're open or closed, as they're not encrypted at all.
