One needn't only cheat to be disloyal. Secrets, lies, and exclusion are all acts of selfish betrayal. The attendance of clubs, bars, gyms, and even work become acts of truancy if you're deliberately excluding someone you shouldn't. If you're willing to spend weekdays, weekends, birthdays, or Christmases with strangers as opposed to those who love you, you're just as repugnant and untrustworthy as the most unfaithful of lovers.

In 2016, Forbes’ Michael Solomon described Pavel Durov (pictured, below) as the “Mark Zuckerberg of Russia.” Perpetrators of such fraud use various marketing techniques to attract subscribers on their social media channels. Pavel Durov, Telegram's CEO, is known as "the Russian Mark Zuckerberg," for co-founding VKontakte, which is Russian for "in touch," a Facebook imitator that became the country's most popular social networking site.
