Holding money for months without any or useless communication and/or help is not done and shouldn't be allowed. It ruins people's lives.
Keep us informed, thanks!
It's not only Russia guys. I got friends in Germany, Netherlands and France and they're having the same problems as you guys have mentioned started from early December 2017, but for smaller amounts around 5k - 10k.
If you know of cases similar to me, send me the data, and we will add them to the "list of victims"!
