#2Misleading title. As the article points out, the Alexa ranking puts it outside the top 200k most visited sites.

Article's author explains: "Unfortunately Alexa doesn’t have intelligence on the amount of visitors for this site." He goes on to describe additional data from informer.com, similarweb.com, etc - and to explain that the site actually strives not to be ranked well - as part of their business model.

You do realize that if it's in top 10 million, out of estimated ~640 million websites, it's right at the top? It's not misleading at all, it's quite down to the point, just like the article itself.

#6> According to another source, a public address book at locatefamily.com, someone under the name Vladimir S. Nesterenko is living at [REDACTED] in Moscow. Vladimir lives according to Google Streetview it’s an apartment complex far away from the Moscow city center...
Really? Someone investigating with journalists, and may be considered a journalists themselves (?), actually publishes the address of someone that they are accusing of running a scam?
There can only be two reasons for doing something like that:
a) You're an idiot, and didn't consider the implications.
b) You're asking for the public to exact a justice that you think you can't.

#7Who in their right mind puts their real whois information online? On my urls, all that's real is the email address.
I applaud Vladimir Nesterenko for making money like this.

#8Wow, the title doesn't do this justice. "Google makes millions from Russian organized crime" might be better.

Below excerpt sums up the "most visited websites" part. Notice the "s" at the end of "websites". It might be an overstatement, the author didn't back it up, unless I missed it, but it's impressive nontheless:
> 45 domain names are in active use in 19 different countries.
> 42 dedicated servers in Germany run the whole operation.
> 24,3 million PDF and PowerPoint files are hosted on all sites combined.
> These sites have at least 12.843 incoming links.
> 23 to 29 million unique monthly visitors for all the sites combined.
> Estimated 100 million page views per month.
> The sites generate a roughly estimated add revenue of $92,210 each month.
> slideplayer.com is ranked as the 6,047 and myshared.ru is ranked as 11,806 most visited site in the world. 11 other sites are also ranked in the top 100,000 list.
