Mikhail Prokhorov is planning to run against Vladimir Putin in the Russian presidential election.
Prokhorov told reporters this week that he would “sell my shares (of the Nets) to a blind trust” should he become prime minister or, as phrased by the reporter, “if (his) political career is hugely successful.”
Giving his shares to a blind trust doesn’t mean Prokhorov would relinquish his investment, just that trustees would be given full discretion over the Nets’ assets.
