Read the Fortune magazine cover story on the Reubens in Russian of about 15 years ago during the Aluminum Wars. Simon says unfair and untrue. And I believe Simon, But what is clear is that this was kgb gangland warfare by proxy. As rough as it gets. They were very lucky to get out with their money, unharmed. It'll make your eyes pop.
