The attached is the picture of Alexander Zakharchenko not Dmitry Zakharchenko(Accused).

The mistake came from Dailymail, ive checked and the image has been removed from the source.

Kindly remove this also.

Thanks.

Chai! sad

Gimme just one bundle there, and I'd walk away content.

These people pretending to fight corruption are often worse than the people they condemn.
Nobody holy pass. In a country where they've recovered loots/stolen fund, those who recovered it will and steal from it again.

You mean if we dig through the centre of the earth 6738km X2, that we can actually burst in China? Does it mean the solid part of the earth is 'floating'?
Thats belief, just like drilling from one side of a ball to the other side, you can burst out in Australia or somewhere. Depends on where the drilling started.

Will check for the link and post it.

The total amount of money seized is yet to be confirmed exactly, but is believed to be around $122million.

Foreign Affairs › Head Of Russia's Anti-corruption Agency Is Found With $122M In CASH In His House by Explorers(op): 9:44am On Sep 12, 2016
The acting head of Russia's anti-corruption agency has been caught with$122 million in cash in his home, Russian media reported.

Russian police raided the house of Dmitry Zakharchenko, the deputy head of the Energy Industry Department of the General Administration of Economic Security and Combating the Corruption(GAESCC).

After coming away with the huge sum, $2.2million of which was in Euros, he was arrested on suspicion of abuse of power, obstruction of justice, and accepting bribes.

He allegedly refused to comment on the money or its origins and was charged with abuse of power, obstruction of justice and accepting bribes. He is pleading not guilty.

I don't believe you of all people can't explain that,an anverage chemistry/geography student should be able to explain that without difficulties.All (or most) precious stones/germs ONLY form on high temperature and pressure environments were carbon thrives,the same reason also explain why they contain carbon either in minute or large quantities be it pure or in an impure state;so because of their formation processes,they can't help but be hard,strong and high melting points.ANYTHING formed in such environment will most likely possess the afformentioned characteristics.
Lol...Didn't even touch anything relating to science in school throughout.
Could have told the guy the presence of the gold is due to the temperature, but that won't bring a better understanding like when a scientist/geologist give a better explanation.

No one knows it all bro.

Master explorers,please sir am just wondering..how was all these facts derived,since it all seems like an impossible feat..?
Since man can't go to the center of Earth, they have to rely on indirect observations of the materials of the interior. These observations mostly come from seismic waves. When an earthquake occurs, energy is radiated from the location of the earthquake in waves that travel through the Earth and arrive at seismometers at some distance from the source. The speed of these waves through the Earth is controlled by the properties of the material that the waves pass through.

By measuring the time it takes for various waves to get from an earthquake to a given seismometer, scientists can back out what the material properties must have been like along the path taken by the wave.

They've drilled over 3km in South Africa and they believe there's a large deposit down there.

Learnt that scientists/engineers searching for oil dont just drill, they collect samples of a specific location and carry out the test on the surface. If there's oil they will know from the surface and they drill miles down for it.

How about the Arabian gulf? They extract oil about 2miles below the sea bed. How did they know there will be oil 2miles down below the sea floor?

Its all about test.

See the amount going into movie production
They spend millions of dollars on production. Sometimes $50M or more.

Not just possible yet. But my question is, digging that deep to the core of the earth won't cause a crack?
That's possible, but i believe advanced machineries will handle that. I think the problem is the heat, if not they would have drilled to the core with advanced equipments. By the time they drill for 5 to 10years , they will get to the core.

Then let's take the furking risk to the Hell Below and get extra-rich...
We need GOLD..
We need the MONEY..
Getting there is the issue bro. Almost 7000km down, that's far more than flying from Lagos to London which will take a plane about 6hours. Now tell me the technology that can dig that, we've not talked about the temperature on the way down that's over 6000°C.


Its not possible.

There is enough gold at the core of the earth to cover the surface of the planet in 12’ to 13’ depth.

Unfortunately, it’s 1,800 miles below our feet and at many thousands of degrees in temperature.

Everyone has wanted to dig a hole down to the center of the Earth at some time in their lives.

My friends and I tried to dig down as far as we could go. I never told them my goal, but in my heart, we were going all the way through. In the end we actually got down about 2 meters, but the bottom kept filling in with water. Of course, digging down to the centre of the Earth was always out of reach.

In order to be able to dig down to the center of the Earth, my friends and I would have needed to dig our way through 6,378km of rock, mantle, and iron. Most of this journey would be through temperatures hot enough to melt rock, getting as high as 6,726°C at the center.

So if you dug through the deepest ocean floor you could get about 0.1% of the way to the core.

The first 35 km or so of digging would be through the outer crust of the Earth. Assuming we could actually get through the solid rock, and keep water from filling back into our super deep hole, we might actually be able to make some progress through this.

The deeper you go, the higher the temperature. One of the deepest mines in the world is the TauTona gold mine in South Africa, a mere 3.6 kilometers deep.
Even though this just scratches the surface of the Earth, temperatures at the bottom of TauTona already get as high as 60°C.

Once you break through the crust, you’re into the Earth’s mantle. At this point, you’re looking at about 3,000 km of rock heated to such a high temperature that it’s a liquid.

Volcanoes are points on the Earth when magma from the mantle breaks through to the surface. How we’d dig through that, i have no idea. But let’s say we could. Then we’d break through into the core of Earth.

This region extends for another 3,500 km, and its comprised almost entirely of iron, with a little nickel, and some other trace metals. And it’s even hotter than the mantle above it. This is where temperatures get to over 6,000°C.

Assuming we could bore through the iron, and could withstand the heat, we could get down to the center of the Earth. At this point, we would have traveled 6,378 km to complete our journey. And then another 6,378 km to get through the other side and visit the friends in China.
