This is how Putin & his friends make money on their ATM machine Gazprom. I bet the payment was highly nominal.

"Bloomberg and Russian business paper RBC reported that a similar sale of Gazprom shares in July that raised $2.2 billion went to a firm connected to oligarch Arkady Rotenberg...[who] denied he was behind the purchase."
"Because both deals were for less than 5% of Gazprom’s total shares, the oil giant does not have to disclose the buyer to market regulators."
It is funny that Russia still applies quite a few rules of transparency (bureaucratic inertia or liberal resistance?), so Putin & his friends are not allowed to steal more than 5% of Gazprom at a time. Theft by the wealthy & powerful is of course allowed.
