Telecom Mogul’s Lofty Dreams Plummet, Washington Post

“The “mysterious Mr. Zzylch” boarded the posh Gulfstream executive jet for his Russian business trip accompanied by a few friends, a pizza somebody grabbed along the way and the board game Risk, just for laughs.

They needed money. He had plenty.”
