Bungling Swindler Letter Exposes Spanish Scam
A bungling swindle described as a former Russian banker’s alleged legacy scheme is detailed. The letter to Frank Jenkinson of Union township asks for $480,000 citing a hidden document and a share of $160,000, but the raspy text reveals a crude attempt to extract funds. An enclosed clipping notes a Russian banker arrested in Spain under a fictitious name, BLADISLABLEVA, amid a broader embezzlement case and international pursuit.
