Matvei Miroslav - PA to the richest man in Russia

A rather complicated story, and a link to a news item that does not inspire confidence, but this scammer ends the email with the reassurance that his proposal is genuine and, more importantly, legal.

However, the legality of it is immaterial, because the proposal is not genuine, and the millions of dollars are not available. The scammer is not called Matvei Miroslav, and the scammer was never PA to Mikhail Khodorkovsky. It is all a fake: an invention aimed at taking money from you for various 'fees' for the transaction. Any documents that he has are also fake.
