The arbitration tribunal of Moscow has sustained a case of Mikhail Renzhin, who claimed for compensation of 24 million rubles (about $968 thousand) after he had been stolen 95.2 thousand shares of Gazprom. The plaintiff wanted Gazporm and CJSC SR-Draga, a registrar, to cover the payout. In the course of the hearings the representatives from the both companies tried to assure the court that the plaintiff had sold his shares himself. Particularly they said that Mikhail Renzhin had neither visited any shareholders’ meetings nor asked for dividends in the period of 2000-2006.

$ 1 Million ? that’s not a lot of money nowadays, better make it $ 1 Billion.

That’s probably not much, but quite enough for an individual, especially in Russia
