Is there a form of the oil company Viktor Gordesky owned in Russia trading on a US exchange?
The Yukos trading symbol in Russia is YUKO. In the USA, it is traded as an ADR (American Depositary Receipt) with the symbol YUKOY.PK As Paul Harvey would say, now, the rest of the story…..There is no Viktor Gordesky. This is a made-up name as part of an investment spam email going round at the moment. It mentions that oil company chairman Viktor Gordesky was arrested on October 25, 2003 near Novosibirsk in Russia. This never happened, however, Yukos chairman Mikhail Khodorkovsky was arrested on that date near Novosibirsk for tax evasion issues. Don’t trust internet stock tips that you get from spam or by ‘accident’ because they are generally not true and weren’t sent to you on accident.
