I have added sourced information about the methods by which Mikhail Prokhorov acquired his wealth. The extensive sources detail the truth about his business dealings. Sources include Stanford Law School publication and 60 Minutes. Prokhorov is a public figure and the information posted about him is not libelous according to US law. From the wikipedia libel entry:

Public figure doctrine (absence of malice)

Special rules apply in the case of statements made in the press concerning public figures, which can be used as a defense. A series of court rulings led by New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964) established that for a public official (or other legitimate public figure) to win a libel case, the statement must have been published knowing it to be false or with reckless disregard to its truth, (also known as actual malice).[31]

Under United States law, libel generally requires five key elements. The plaintiff must prove that the information was published, the plaintiff was directly or indirectly identified, the remarks were defamatory towards the plaintiff's reputation, the published information is false, and that the defendant is at fault.
