The Russian Mafia is going to light up some people for this.
I speculated on another thread that the Russians have been trying to “buy” their way into Cyprus to gain an year-round warm weather port for their Navy......If so, and this move is a backhanded attempt to stop that, things could indeed get very dicey.
Supposedly the mob accounts got the heads up opportunity to get out before the haircut.
They should. Not that anyone should advocate what the Russian mob does, but theft by government should never be tolerated.
