Russian Mob at the Bank today

Hey guys, hope you're doing well.

I've working in Banking for 10-15 years and up until last Wednesday I thought that the stories of the Russian Mob were a joke.

They're not. It's fucking crazy.

We had this guy pull up on our bank. Instead of passing a note he gives us a phone. On the phone there's his uncle Valoda.

I speak to Valoda. Valoda tells us that he has a problem with a mortgage. We look him up, indeed the mortgage exists, he tells us that the guy at our bank who filed it threatened his daughter. I'm thinking what the fuck. He says he's filed a police report and unless we give him the house for free Nick is going to prison after he presses charges.

Naturally I hang up on him and tell security to get rid of this guy.

Fast forward two days. They fucking come back. This time there's two of them. But Valoda is never there.

This time he gives me the phone. I'm like "ok". I pick up the phone, and it's Valoda bu-
