From the November 28th, 2025 article 'Larisa Dolina... civil proceedings'

Key excerpt translated into English, 'Ms. Dolina [People's Artist] was persuaded to transfer funds to "safe accounts" and participate in a "special operation to catch fraudsters." She was also warned "of liability for disclosing information to others." The artist was convinced the sale of the property would be fictitious. According to the case file, "being misled... and also due to her personality and emotional state, which deprived her of the ability to understand the nature and significance of the illegal actions being committed against her and to resist, as well as those who urged her to complete a supposedly fictitious transaction," Ms. Dolina agreed to sell her five-room apartment in building No. 3 on Kseninsky Lane, ... below its cadastral value (123.2 million rubles). However, the deal turned out to be real.'

About 4 young to middle age adults got sentenced.

Not knowing how to use the latest piece of computer adapter technology, does not necessarily make someone up in age mentally deficient. Just the same for young children, their reading level isn't ready for college yet.

It can be criminal to exploit what may be natural.

Better to have the preventions in place for this kind of scamming scheme now before it gains prevalence.
