unfortunately, it is in Russian. It says they conned few Spanish businessman and also hacked email of the President of Canadian bank, and from his email were sending orders to his employees to transfer money to Africa.

Also, they are asking mugu his name, and he doesn't remember his own name. Finally they pulled his first name from him - Michael. I bet he spells it "Micheal"!! It also says the dog was the most scared. I hope they feel Russian jail to the fullest!! That's not going to be pleasant.
