Michael Cherney - Is It Sour Grapes?
You may have heard about Michael Cherney recently as he’s trying to sue his former business associate Oleg Deripaska in a London Court.
Michael and Oleg used to be business associates in Russia - and Michael taught Oleg a lot and introduced him to some important people.
However Oleg overtook Michael in most areas of business life and even joined the inner circle of the power brokers of Russia - while Michael had to flee Russia in fear of his life - he’d simply made too many powerful enemies.
Oleg is now far richer than Michael - and was about to rake in even more money with the IPO of his company, RusAl - until Michael Cherney spoiled things by timing a court case to coincide with the IPO.
Was the timing a coincidence - or a case of sour grapes?
It’s an interesting story - and I’ve created a page on Squidoo covering the Michael Cherney court case - see what you think about it all.
