The Russians have a culture of secrecy that people from other "free" countries may not understand.
The culture of Russia has been greatly influenced by communism. The government's goal was to control everything that they could.
One way to fight this opression is to keep as many things secret from the government (and anybody else) as you can.
This is GOLD we are talking about here folks! Anybody that has the desire to steal it, will try.
I really can't blame Aurus for keeping certain information to themselves until the time is right to release it. Too much information discovered by the wrong people puts Aurus in a position of weakness that crooks might try to exploit.
Even here in the USA, companies keep as many secrets as they can get away with, and we have a culture of "full discloser" and "freedom of the press".
The bottom line..... lots of people would like to steal what Aurus has. Some of them may even be posters on this message board.
