Moscow tale of Kolossoff and Czarist coins swindle
Moscow reports a Russian counterpart to the gold brick swindle. Michail Kolossoff, a peasant of Sartov, invested 450 roubles in Czarist gold coins, only to receive worthless coins after an indifferent broker. The memo notes a new decree allowing limited foreign rifle imports, and outlines the high costs of leaving Russia for goods. It also mentions Siberian workers in Aldan benefiting from a government gold mine cooperative earning about 12 toublas daily.
