There's a novel and movie doing the rounds that got me thinking.

I Google'd Michael Cherney and found my namesake - an ex Russian multi-billionaire with a very dubious past.

Michael Cherney ( aka Mikhail Chernoy ) fled Russia in 1994 in fear for his life - you could say his past had caught up with him.

He now lives in Israel where he's trying to whitewash his past with the help of a public relations firm that distribute his propaganda through their website http://www.israelnewsagency.com.

You may have heard about Michael Cherney recently as he's trying to sue Oleg Deripaska - someone who's even richer than he is!

I don't think much of Michael's chances of winning his court case as he's trying to get it heard in London - despite the fact that neither of them live in the UK, and their companies are not located in the UK either.

The court case is something that should be settled in Russia - but Michael daren't go back there!

Anyway it's up to Michael to prove to the London court that they should here the case - the judge who's been assigned the case doesn't seem convinced that it should be heard - and the next step is for the judge to say how much Michael will have to put up should the case be accepted.

There's a couple of recent articles about the case:

The other Michael Cherney sure leads an interesting life - much more interesting than me!
