Dumbski assimova?

A Russian financier is demanding his $10 million deposit back and seeking millions in damages because a $53 million penthouse apartment he purchased at New York's Plaza Hotel was "attic-like."

Andrei Vavilov is suing the developers, saying he was the victim of a "classic bait-and-switch" because he was led to believe the property would be one of the most luxurious apartments in the city. Apparently, he didn't realize that $53 million is chump change in New York's real estate market.

The kicker? Vavilov bought the penthouse without ever seeing it in person, basing his purchase on a video presentation.

How do you say "dumbass" in Russian?
