Trivia
Fun, fascinating documentary. The submarine that was "sold" is not named but appears to be B-400, a Foxtrot-class sub that was built in 1967 and in commission at least as late as 1991. The interior shots likely are INS Kursura (S20), a Foxtrot sold to India in 1961 and now preserved as a museum ship.

Goofs
When Grisha is first mentioned, his name is spelled Roizis, then later Roizes.

Quotes
Tony Galeota: I have to tell you, all my enemies are dead and I'm happy.
Tony Galeota: I'm gonna see them in fucking hell when I arrive there.

Entertaining

Probably most of the stories are bull, but that does not make them any less entertaining. The better part is to see the governmental thugs how they can have virtually unlimited resources to live like mobsters to protect the World from small time opportunists who don't pay the cigarette tax.
