This is Russia after all so we can't discredit the amount of fuckery possible.
This is true.
My second home is in Holland. I travel to Russia about a hundred times a year for business. I even invested in a small mining farm there.
I know the level of shittery that goes on in there.
But this is absolute fishy. Most probably a scam or a long con where these so called legit law firm would run away with someone's money in the end.
I'll bet my ass on it!
Thanks, while your view is shared by many, we'd also love to be able to understand the situation a bit better. Do you have contacts in Russia that may be able to share their thoughts as well? Mind asking them?
