There is nothing in that article which gives at least the opportunity to lead to a more then subjective conclusion. Nothing except a lot of hearsay...

Sorry, but this is a purely subjective conclusion as well. Could you deliver hard facts for that? I.e. original court documents / proceedings - even original in russian (i can read russian)? even in todays russia such documents are produced in courts. This is not sovjet aera anymore... From my personal experience (i was grown up in GDR and live part time in ex sovjet countries today), i know that corruption in the telco / IP scene of (not only) ex sovjet countries was/is real. And i remember too that some of the cases are used against formerly privileged people when their government wants to get rid of them while the corruption is a´tolerated in other cases. But the corruption as such is real on the other hand: If he did nothing wrong, it would be on his interest to publish the complete story with all details / court documents - not just: "some are believing", "others are saying" and "some investiogators are meaning" - that way we dont find juridical conclusions in a true, free and fair court process. cheers, niels. -- --- Niels Dettenbach Syndicat IT & Internet https://www.syndicat.com PGP: https://syndicat.com/pub_key.asc --- ----- To unsubscribe from this mailing list or change your subscription options, please visit: https://mailman.ripe.net/mailman3/lists/ripe-list.ripe.net/ As we have migrated to Mailman 3, you will need to create an account with the email matching your subscription before you can change your settings.
