Correct, I do not know specific ATM models, as I am on my bank's strategy wing, not operations.

However, "big bank" in Russia does not mean safe. Evidence of that is the epidemic assassination of bankers over the past decade or so, culminating in the murder of the chief banking supervisor in September 2006. These aren't hits by agitated clients; these are mafia killing each other. Yet, we think that the industry in the U.S. is "cut-throat."
