Part of his point is that it's not just ad revenue.... do you have evidence to contradict him, because if so I'd like to see (and possibly publish) it.

DST owns a Russian FB-clone Vkontakte which uses FB's own code. Vkontakte costs $2M per month in burn costs with revenue close to nil. It might be well an attempt to exchange the Russian market access for FB for a position in much more liquid FB stock. I strongly suspect here an equity swap.

Aren't Russian scammers suppose to be ripping off stupid, cash rich Americans?

Who is the next Facebook investor/sucker? A rich Nigerian prince living in exile?
