Tsarbucks

Starbucks wants to open in Russia but they can't do it yet because Sergei Zuykov owns their trademark. Even better: he had it cancelled and transferred to him in 2002 because Starbucks wasn't actually using it. His current asking price is $600,000.

It sure didn't take some Russians very long to figure out how this "capitalism" thing works.
