I dont know about that, but I know that he didnt cooperate with Fedaral Security Service:
>After mass anti-Kremlin protests broke out in the wake of the disputed December 2011 elections to the Russian parliament, the State Duma, Durov reportedly refused to comply with a request from the Federal Security Service (FSB) to block opposition groups from using the site. There appeared to be no immediate repercussions, but then in April of 2013, Durov was accused of hitting a traffic policeman with his car, with a video of the alleged incident appearing online. On April 16, VKontakte's main offices in central St. Petersburg were searched by police. Durov, who denies even owning a car, fled the country and has not been seen in public since.

While I agree that it is not due to skimming, I dont think it is database leak or breach. If it was, thieves would probably go for smaller transactions (since they are harder to notice ) on large scale. My guess is that she either got phished or shopped on compromised website. That could also explain hosting purchase.

Wow! I remember these guys from Micheal Moore's movie "Capitalism a Love Story".There is part about private jails for teenagers. It says that 6500 kids were unjustly convicted. Some kids were locked up even when probation officers objected to detention.
You can watch that part here: http://vimeo.com/39118828 00:30:30

Not really. Other companies are importing CDMA phones and are not banned by Samsung, because they paid licence for using patent. Apple and Samsung did a short negotiation about fees. Samsung asked 2.5% of cost of phone, Apple came back with 1$ or less. For time after that Samsung tried to talk with Apple about a fair deal,but Apple would always go back to 1$ or less price tag.

“We applaud the administration for standing up for innovation in this landmark case. Samsung was wrong to abuse the patent system in this way” - says Apple who made HTC one X banned from being imported in USA, because of patent infrigement.
