Wargaming is leaving Russia and Belarus

They're based in Cyprus anyway. They had an office in Belarus but that was about it as far as I know.
Victor Kislyi lives in Moscow. He was born in Belarus but always wanted to be a proper Russian mover and shaker so he moved to Moscow when he got flush with cash after WOT took off. This move isn't his. I bet the board outvoted him because in Russia all of thier money and lifestyle is cut off now. They're surely not doing it out of some dedication to good that is for sure. It's a move of self preservation.
 
OK, this is just stupid on a level I can't comprehend. Here's the post from the admin of the NA Server:

Greetings Tankers,​
World of Tanks operations in Russia and Belarus will be transferred to Lesta Studio.​
Over the past weeks, Wargaming has been conducting a strategic review of business operations worldwide. The company has decided it will not own or operate any businesses in Russia and Belarus and will leave both countries.​
Effective March 31, 2022 the company started the process of closing its studio in Minsk, Belarus and transferred its live games business in Russia and Belarus to local management of Lesta Studio that is no longer affiliated with Wargaming.​
The company will not profit from this process either today or going forward. Much to the contrary we expect to suffer substantial losses as a direct result of this decision.​
Going forward, in all other countries Wargaming will continue to operate World of Tanks as before. The game servers will be operating as usual, and players' accounts, as well as their in-game property accumulated through purchase or any other means, will remain unchanged.​
Here's the problem: Lesta Studio is owned by Wargaming and is based in...

wait for it...

St. Petersburg, Russia.

 
I was speaking metaphorically about his yacht(s). He's supposedly worth 1.5 billion.
We know that is not his money. Then you have to say net worth of gross assets?

You people already know I'm wealthy. I've made postings on the amount of cash I had lying around in 2017 which was 100 grand in my dresser drawer. I have since made stupid money off of that in 4 years so its all golden.

Not Super Rich but on March 7th 2022 I am now in the 1% (99% tier wealth bracket) class of wealth and to be perfectly honest though it is a FUCKING GREAT ACHIEVEMENT as 1 out of 100 people will have their net worth equal or higher than I...

It was kind of a let down as a feeling. Yea I could strive for more but I'm getting up there in age man... so other things have to come first.

To reach the 1% was not as important of a feeling then when I was able to say that I could retire and never having to work ever again. OR never having to worry about your bills as you got things covered.

"I don't give one fuck about my credit rating now... I got money"...

Now that's a wonderful feeling. I may not have a yacht, but I can relax with a 6 pack of beer, a boat and a empty hook in the water... without a care in the world.

Besides the yacht he probably using is a method of (possibly) laundering dirty money. This man is a fucking nobody...correction he much worse.... IMHO he's just a lap dog for the oligarchs and that is all.

His actions are just a fucking smokescreen because of what is happening in the Ukraine. Because he still is a Russian Lap Dog for the Oligarchs.

And that is all.
