Thanks so much for your offer to help - as soon as I figure out the best course of action I might contact you. The fact that they took the page down gives some hope - maybe they're not as reckless and understand that the public won't be happy about this. We'll see what happens next.

>In all honesty, make investors and bankers afraid and any government will shut up. This is a great idea in general, but it requires a strong corporate/investor establishment that is independent from the government. Unfortunately and unsurprisingly, 90% of the Kazakh Forbes list are either 1) straight up politicians, 2) politicians' close relatives (offspring and in-laws), 3) those, whose involvement with government is "open secret" (e.g. someone rumored as being a president's personal banker), or 4) those doing in oil and gas, heavily regulated industries where government's cooperation is required to make it work. :(

Anyways, thanks for all the insight!
