Sokolov told "Vedomosti" that in his 33 years spent exactly two months: the month - at Citibank and a month - in the company, which supplies to Russia blanks for bank cards. He had another calling. The representative of the online auction in 2010 molotok.ru Sokolov called one of the first inventors of the scheme to deceive consumers and the largest in the history of this auction fraud. For three years he was able to fool hundreds of buyers and their total damage molotok.ru appreciated by more than 10 million rubles.

How he managed to earn, is not known, after complaints defrauded buyers auction blocked his accounts. On avito.ru Sokolov Moscow offered for sale one-bedroom apartment for $ 4.5 million rubles. The day before, the same ad in the "Gazette" placed real estate agency "Guild on Polezhaevskaya" - though, with the price of 9.8 million rubles., - How Sokolov and borrowed photographs.
