“Many people think that it was the Chechens who came up with the Aviz scheme. It’s not true. I came up with it. It was the biggest fraudulent scheme, because no one knew exactly how much money was stolen. I found the right people in the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and in Estonian banks. On behalf of Estonian banks, I made a duplicate advice, like the original was lost. The amount in the advice was written the one I wanted. It was completely forged and was not backed up by anything, “Sergey Grishin said.
