The PyraMMMid

Russia, early 1990's. Sergei Mamontov is looking for where to apply himself and his intellect. And so he orders a mock-up of a security paper with imperial script, rich ornament, watermarks and his own portrait in the center.

An active advertising campaign begins. A little more than two weeks is enough to make people lined up for the "mamontov's" ("mamontovki" in Russian). Powerful bankers and state structures are in confusion – no one has a clue how to stop it, and the MMM has already accumulated more than 10 million investors.
