MODERATORS
IDK enough specifics but it "feels" like Stoli got a state sponsored attack from Russia so they could easily take those distillery assets and make it look like Stoli was poorly run to ruin their reputation as a Russian Export.
Or they just had a shitty IT dept that didn't protect their assets properly and a stupid employee fucked them
Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity

for sure, but Russia was quick to take the refineries.
