by cbs sports division "60 minutes" will be seen in its entirety after the game. >> jim: and smith ties the game at 61.: and smith ties the game he has been the star player today for the blue devils. 24 points for smith. >> clark: and another guarded by for duke. -- offensive glass for duke and the 3-point field goal. >> jim: and again it was lance thomas. able to tap it out to nolan smith and led it the smith 3. >> clark: and scheyer got one, as well. >> jim: tipped up -- no. back out to jones. anthony jones, quincy acy.

three minutes to go, every possession crucial. and ekpe udoh short with the bank shot. nolan smith slipped on a wet spot and that will be addressed on the other end of the floor. >> clark: when you play zone you don't have individual block-out responsibilities and everybody has to chase rebounds. >> jim: and scheyer gives duke a lead of 6! [cheers and applause] >> jim: 18 for the game for scheyer. >> clark: again, dunn gambling on zoubek and that leaves scheyer free. and, boy, he is not hesitant at all and what a time to continue to break out of what has been a month-long shooting slump for scheyer. >> jim: a delay of game warning on singler.

>> clark: i think you have to go pick-and-roll here. lacedarius dunn has not handled the ball. and they are trying to isolate udoh and they got the fifth foul on zoubek. >> jim: zoubek shouting out, imploring to his teammates to get him across the finish line, without him. so the 7'1" senior who has sparkled here. he is finished for the game. duke has had, you have been talking about it so much, a total of 17 second chance points, just this half alone. >> clark: a bunch of those have been 3s. we have seen 9 of them. 9 of the points in the last possessions off the second shot

chances. >> jim: ekpe udoh will shoot a pair. >> clark: i wonder if baylor will apply full-court pressure if they get both free throws down. >> jim: udoh, the newcomeer of the year in the conference. and they finished second to kansas state who won the regular season by a large margin. and dun's 3, wide of the mark. >> clark: he rushed that one. rushed that one just a bit. now you've got to try to defend without fouling. and duke is gonna space the floor here. baylor content to sit back. you want to contain dribble penetration without fouling.

>> jim: scheyer whips it to the corner. singler -- no. and the follow -- yes! lance thomas. [cheers and applause] >> jim: and a foul. >> clark: scott drew talked about it at the top of our telecast, "we have to rebound." the last four possessions they have not and it has cost them mightily. the missed shot, no box-out and there's lance thomas. >> jim: and what he has done just to keep the ball alive on the offensive end of this half. and this time he makes the 3-point play of his own. and just like that, duke is in front by 8. >> clark: and the story of your ball game. >> jim: singler with the steal. >> clark: 23-11, in second chance points and a vast majority in the last five or six minutes for duke.

>> jim: time-out. scheyer called it when he was double up and watch out. acy and smith exchange words and the duke players wanted to lend support were rushed back to their bench as are the baylor players. coach k. wants to make sure, talking to the officials. you don't want to call a fighting, you know, situation here because there are some stiff penalties that come with that. >> clark: and the time-out by scheyer and then a bump. i think quincy acy got his shoulder in the mix. a little extracurricular. but they could have used that bumping on the backboards the last five or six possessions. >> jim: so scheyer is granted the time-out. he was doubled. >> clark: he called the time-out, as soon as he picks up the ball, knows he is trapped and you can see his mouth and

the official gives him the call. and then there was just a little bit extra activity as he was trying to get the -- there it is, right there. okay. lacedarius dunn and then scheyer swings and then acy came into the picture, right there and that's where you had a bump. so a good job of officiating just to get the guys separated. the clock situation, time-out at 1:19. that's what we've got. >> jim: so the officials separate 'em. nothing else is called after the time-out is granted. baylor had the lead in this one with 5:44 to play, 57-54 but it's been duke, 16-5 since that time. >> clark: and it's been 3s and frees. for duke. 3-pointers and free throws.

that have made up that run. although lance thomas did get a tipped dunk after the missed shot. but other than that, charity tosses and triples. scheyer being double-teamed, wants the time-out, gets it and he is trying to get away from allenspach. and flung the arm. -- from lacedarius dunn and flung the arm but nothing that warranted more than what was done. >> jim: and the officials did look at the replay. and calling coach krzyzewski over and asking for scott drew, signalling to the baylor bench. >> clark: and i think we will get an explanation, as well, perhaps. once the conference is completed with the coaches.

>> jim: michael stewart, and the other officials here. >> clark: i think the discussion is about acy -- quincy acy comes into the picture and bumping into jon scheyer. ♪ [band playing] >> jim: it's been explained to us it's a dead ball contact

technical foul against quincy acy. >> clark: he is gonna come into the screen, number 4 at the bottom and starts moving in and he bumps into santa moninolan s. and then the free throws and duke as the ball at half court. >> jim: it's just an anonymous call. a huge impact with 1:19 to go. scheyer stands alone at the line for a pair. the history major in his senior year out of north book, illinois -- north brook, illinois. and american history is his specialty and he knows all about duke history and is 1:19 from making sure he is a part of it, final four history. >> clark: that's right.

and he has been a huge factor in this one in the second half. >> jim: 14 points in the second half. >> clark: and the free throw discrepancy. >> jim: the pass picked off by tweety carter. dunn. >> clark: you got to go quick. >> jim: set up wallet, the 3. -- walton, the 3, tipped up, udoh, back to acy, no. tipped up, yes, udoh with 47 seconds. time-out, baylor. baylor, 8 down. with 47 seconds. to play here in houston. edmunds.com called it "one of the best family cars of 2009." the insurance institute for highway safety calls it a "2010 top safety pick." consumers digest has called it a "best buy" two years in a row.

the line for two. i was talking to nolan smith last week and i asked him his first final four memory. and he said, "i first remember all the hoopla about the final four by watching tapes of pie father" with his father, who was a star on the louisville 1980 championship team. the late derek smith. so his memories of the final four, really stirred by watching his father. now he is getting close to getting a chance to experience that same thrill. his father's team won the championship in indianapolis, by the way. >> clark: that's right. we played thatta louisville team when i was at ohio state as udoh gets the basket and a time-out quickly called. >> jim: another baylor time-out. 74-66, duke. i've been growing algae for 35 years.

most people try to get rid of algae, and we're trying to grow it. the algae are very beautiful. they come in blue or red, golden, green. algae could be converted into biofuels... that we could someday run our cars on. in using algae to form biofuels, we're not competing with the food supply. and they absorb co2, so they help solve the greenhouse problem, as well. we're making a big commitment to finding out... just how much algae can help to meet... the fuel demands of the world. >> jim: tonight on cbs, all new, beginning with "60 minutes," followed by "the amazing race," "undercover boss" and "cold case," all on america's most watched network. full-court pressure, of course, desperate times for the baylor bears. and it'll be singler's turn to shoot 2.

this second chance points category, such a big part of this late surge by the devils. thomas so often the one keeping it going. zoubek with the put-back. and thomas here. >> clark: and that's been the strength of the duke team all year and how about the offensive rebounds by duke? 23. was that number -- my goodness! they had a bunch. >> jim: 17 in this half. >> clark: and a number led to 3-point shots, jim, and opportunities at the line. and that's where they cracked this one open. it was tight until the second shots started piling up for duke, followed by the 3-point field goal makes. >> jim: singler gets both free throws. back to 10 with just 25 seconds. down acy. -- dunn to acy.

[whistle] >> jim: and they will send dawkins, the freshman, to the line. what do you think the second chance points, of course, you have hit on that but the stage, the atmosphere, the pressure and intensity of the chance to have the break through win, it's a weighty assignment. >> clark: it sure is. >> jim: how much of a factor do you think it was? >> clark: a mild factor. baylor allowed it to be a half court game. and duke went after them and i think the experience -- although this team hasn't been this group of players. but the confidence and leadership of scheyer. s he stepped into big 3-point shots when it was in balance and created the space that duke needed to ride to this victory. >> jim: just 20 seconds to go

and the final four will be all set. udoh working hard as he always does. [whistle] >> jim: it stays with the bears. and they are gonna be a pretty stout bunch to contend with next year. >> clark: they will lose tweety carter. the leader. of this club. >> jim: dunn with the 3. and a time-out, baylor. cuts it to 5 but only 9 seconds to play.

>> jim: that's it for time-outs for the baylor bears. baylor led at halftime in this one. had the advantage early in the half. duke came back, back to baylor it swung and then duke down the stretch. you talked about will in the opening, a lot of times it gets down to will. >> clark: yep. >> jim: and a time-out called by duke. around the back, off -- off the roof. swish. great.

the blue devils were fortunate they were able to draw the foul. that's not a lot of room to have it 10 guys in the half court area when you try to inbound the ball. i think you send a guy or two long and the defenders have to go with him. >> jim: two more at the line for singler. he just hit a couple. obviously not a typical game for singler, just a -- really a large presence on the duke team. we talked about how larry bird was his hero growing up. and he might run into larry in indianapolis. >> clark: the pacers are in town for home games. >> jim: and dunn with the 3, it's long and it's duke's turn to return to the final four! they are heading for indianapolis.

>> pelley: nada prouty's identity was once a closely held national secret. she was an f.b.i. agent, then a c.i.a. officer with top security clearances, who penetrated terrorist organizations overseas. her fellow cia officers say she risked her life often, volunteering for dangerous missions. and because she's originally from lebanon, she speaks native arabic, a rare skill for an american intelligence officer. but nada prouty's daring career was destroyed.

in those years after 9/11, when rooting out terrorists at home was an obsession at the justice department, federal prosecutors launched investigations, and even nada prouty was accused of supporting terrorism. was a traitor exposed, or did america lose a patriot? tonight, former undercover c.i.a. officer nada prouty steps out of the shadows to tell her story for the first time. >> nada prouty: i love the country. i believe in the country. i believe in everything that this country stands for. >> pelley: this is dangerous work. >> prouty: yes, but i embraced the mission. the mission became my family. the mission became my life. and i would have given anything to protect the mission. >> pelley: nada prouty's missions for the f.b.i. and c.i.a. read like a history of america's fight against terrorism. she investigated the bombing of the u.s.s. "cole," the attack on

americans at khobar towers in saudi arabia. and in pakistan, she interrogated a terrorist who killed 20 people on a pan am plane, and got him to confess. >> prouty: nothing prepares you to meet a terrorist, a real-life terrorist, someone who's killed americans, someone who's vowed to always kill americans. >> pelley: what's happened to him now? >> prouty: he's in a jail in colorado where he gets to see daylight one hour a day. >> pelley: and you're happy about that. >> prouty: yes, i'm happy. it brought justice. this is what we're about. we're about bringing justice to the families of the victims. >> pelley: pursuing justice for the f.b.i. led her to much more dangerous missions at the c.i.a. she worked in iraq during the most violent period of the insurgency. armed with an assault rifle, she went on raids with u.s. special forces. she interrogated suspected terrorists, and she was part of the team that developed the intelligence on the whereabouts of saddam hussein.

her c.i.a. boss at the time said, "many officers in the c.i.a. were unwilling to serve in this deteriorating, high-risk and thankless environment. mrs. prouty did not waver." while in iraq, prouty's bulletproof vest had to be altered for an extraordinary reason. you were pregnant at the time? >> prouty: correct. >> pelley: people watching this interview right now are asking themselves, "why would she do that?" >> prouty: yes, and i ask myself now, looking at my child, "how could i put her life in danger?" but that's what i wanted to do. i couldn't look at our marines that are standing outside guarding us and tell them, "hey, i'm pregnant, i'm shipping out." i knew what my contributions were. and i wanted to protect the lives of our soldiers. >> pelley: nada prouty was born into war, growing up amid the conflict in her native lebanon. at age 19, she came to the u.s. to get a degree in accounting.

>> prouty: those were good days. >> pelley: and years later, while studying for a masters, one of her teachers suggested she apply to the f.b.i. prouty had to wait two years while the f.b.i. ran a background investigation. she was cleared in 1999 and became a rising star. after two more background investigations, she got one of the nation's highest security clearances. and in 2003, she joined the c.i.a. >> bob grenier: she was absolutely dogged. she would... she would never quit. >> pelley: bob grenier met prouty when he was c.i.a. station chief in islamabad, pakistan. he retired in 2006 as a 27-year veteran, who headed the c.i.a.'s counterterrorism center. >> grenier: she was involved in virtually all the high profile terrorism cases during those years. >> pelley: and became one of this country's most experienced officers in doing all of those cases. >> grenier: yes. young as she was and as few

years as she actually had in service, she was tremendously experienced. >> pelley: she save american lives? >> grenier: i think that's fair to say. >> pelley: but while nada prouty was hunting terrorists overseas, an investigation began back home that would destroy her career. the bush administration was working to break up terrorist financing. and by 2004, federal prosecutors in detroit were looking at the large arab-american population around dearborn, michigan. suspicion fell on a lebanese- american restaurant owner named talal chahine. and as it happened, chahine was married to nada prouty's sister. in 2005, f.b.i. agents came to c.i.a. headquarters to ask prouty a few questions. >> prouty: they showed me a picture of my brother-in-law with a spiritual leader-- at that time, i didn't know who he was, but with a spiritual leader from hezbollah.

>> pelley: hezbollah is the lebanese group backed by iran and on the u.s. terrorism list. prouty says she had little to do with chahine. she thought he was a womanizer cheating on her sister. but because of the family ties, prouty was under suspicion. what began to happen, your relationships with your colleagues, your relationships in the agency? >> prouty: everybody scattered away. you would think that i had the plague. nobody wanted to have anything to do with me. >> pelley: that went on more than a year until, finally, in frustration, she went to detroit to try to clear things up with the prosecutors. >> prouty: it wasn't until i sat face-to-face, until... that was the time that i knew what i was being accused of. >> pelley: and they said what? >> prouty: they said that i have viewed some documents in the f.b.i. a.c.s. system without authorization. >> pelley: the f.b.i. computer

system. >> prouty: correct. >> pelley: what documents did they say that you had looked at? >> prouty: they insinuated that it was documents relating to hezbollah investigations. >> pelley: she says the prosecutors told her that the evidence against her was secret and that she couldn't see the documents in question. but they implied that she had passed classified information. look, the suggestion here... i mean, reading between the lines here is that you looked for chahine's name and your sister's name to see if the f.b.i. was investigating. >> prouty: that's absolutely false and absurd. >> pelley: you didn't do that? >> prouty: absolutely not. >> pelley: and, in fact, the investigation into whether she'd passed classified information turned up nothing. but prosecutors eric straus and kenneth chadwell kept digging, and they stumbled on something that all those background investigations had missed or dismissed. it turned out that 18 years earlier, when she first came to the united states, prouty had taken a fateful shortcut to citizenship. you arranged a sham marriage?

>> prouty: that is correct. >> pelley: you understood at the time... >> prouty: i understood it was wrong. >> pelley: ... that it was against the law. >> prouty: yes, correct. i understood that that was wrong. >> pelley: in 1989, at age 19, nada prouty, her sister and a girlfriend arranged bogus marriages to get their green cards and avoid going back to lebanon, which was still at war. 18 years later, in 2007, prosecutors rounded them all up and charged them with conspiracy to defraud the united states. under pressure, prouty agreed to waive the ten-year statute of limitations on immigration fraud and plead guilty to two felonies related to the sham marriage. she also agreed to plead guilty to one misdemeanor count of unauthorized use of an f.b.i. computer, a charge she now denies. >> prouty: i've made that mistake when i was a 19-year-old teenager. and i shouldn't have made it, and i own up to it. but i did not look into f.b.i.

a.c.s. system without authorization. i did not mismanage or mishandle any classified information. >> pelley: you pled guilty to that. >> prouty: that is correct. >> pelley: why would you do that if it wasn't true? >> prouty: i had to make a decision. i could not see our limited financial resources disappear in front of our own eyes. >> pelley: from attorney's fees? >> prouty: from attorney's fees that amounted in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. >> pelley: but pleading guilty wouldn't be the end of it. prosecutors didn't have the evidence to make a terrorism case in court, so they made one in the media. in a november 2007 press release, the prosecutors said, "it's hard to imagine a greater threat" than someone like nada prouty. they said she had "exploited her access to sensitive counter- terrorism intelligence." and, later, the detroit office boasted it had uncovered "the only known case of an illegal alien infiltrating u.s. intelligence agencies with potential espionage

implications," as if nada prouty had plotted from the age of 19 to infiltrate the cia. all the worse, there it was, a word never uttered in court-- "espionage." nada prouty was branded a traitor in the national news media. >> a young woman who worked for the f.b.i. and the c.i.a... >> ...whose brother-in-law is linked to a terror group... >> ...and the f.b.i. suspects she may have given that information to terrorists. >> prouty: my family was destroyed. neighbors wouldn't talk to us. when my daughter would go out in the neighborhood, her friends would scatter away. they told her, "we don't want to talk to you because your mommy is bad." >> pelley: one of the new york papers called you "jihad jane." >> prouty: that's the jane that went to iraq and put her life on the line. >> pelley: before she was sentenced, the c.i.a. launched its own investigation to find out if nada prouty was a hezbollah spy. bob grenier, the c.i.a.'s former

head of counterterrorism, told us what they found. >> grenier: there was a full investigation, which included multiple polygraph examinations. >> pelley: what was the conclusion in nada prouty's case? >> grenier: she was completely exonerated. >> pelley: the c.i.a. wrote this letter to the prosecutors saying, "the agency did not identify any information that mrs. prouty cooperated or engaged in unauthorized contact with a foreign intelligence service or terrorist organization." how seriously do they take those investigations? how thorough are they? >> grenier: oh, my god, you cannot imagine how seriously the cia would take an investigation like that. >> pelley: at sentencing, federal judge avern cohn blasted the u.s. attorney's office. "perhaps prompted by the "perhaps prompted by the media "grossly distorted the circumstances of your case." "as a citizen," the judge told prouty, "you served your country honorably and effectively."

but because of the law, the judge was forced to revoke her citizenship. instead of throwing her in prison, he fined her $975. the prosecutors received an award for their three-year hezbollah investigation. but for all the press they were seeking then, they declined to talk to us for this story. but the justice department did send us a statement saying that it "makes no apologies for the prosecution of nada prouty." "she has no one to blame but herself." the statement says, "the actions taken by the government to address her crimes were measured, appropriate and consistent with obligations to uphold the law without fear or favor." you know, there are people watching this who say, "she was a c.i.a. agent, she's trained to lie." the prosecutors in detroit certainly thought you were lying. what do you say to that? >> prouty: i have the truth on my side. i've already been exonerated by

the c.i.a. i've already been exonerated by a federal judge. and i say to the people, look at the evidence and make up your mind. >> pelley: nada prouty was to be deported to lebanon, but because she would likely be killed by the very terrorists she investigated, the judge blocked her deportation. today she lives in virginia with an american husband she married in 2001 and their two children. but, as a "deportable alien," she must check in with immigration officers regularly. she can't get a job, open a bank account, or travel more than 50 miles from her home. i wonder whether losing your citizenship was the worst part of all of this? >> prouty: that was the most painful part. >> pelley: how do you feel about that? >> prouty: i've carried a weapon in defense of my country. and i've put my life on the line for the country, i've put the

life of my unborn child for the country. and i've been in horrible situations, i've been shot at. and what the country gives me back is de-nationalization. they take away from me the most precious thing, the thing that i believe in the most. i feel like i've been stabbed in the heart. >> money watch update. >> good evening, ford signed an agreement today to sell its volvo brand to a chinese carmaker for nearly $2 billion. general motors this weekend recalled 5,000 heavy duty express-- vans. and at the movies "how to train your dragon" slayed "alice in wonderland" at the box office. i'm jim axe elevator rod, cbs news.

doing the shipping. man, it would be a lot easier if we didn't have to weigh 'em all. if those boxes are under 70 lbs. you don't have to weigh 'em. with these priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service, if it fits it ships anywhere in the country for a low flat rate. no weigh? nope. no way. yeah. no weigh? sure. no way! uh-uh. no way. yes way, no weigh-ing. priority mail flat rate box shipping starts at $4.95, only from the postal service. a simpler way to ship. there are engines... and then there's the twin-turbocharging, 365-horsepower-generating, ecoboost engine in the taurus sho from ford. that has the thirst of a v6 with the thrust of a v8. the most innovative full- size sedan in america: the taurus sho, from ford. drive one.

>> kroft: of all the baubles that can be bought by billionaires, none is more intoxicating than a big-time sports franchise. it's the ultimate vanity investment, and some owners, like jerry jones of the dallas cowboys and george steinbrenner of the new york yankees have become just as famous as their star players. their ranks have included oil men, media moguls, garbage haulers, and a former show girl, not to mention a few egomaniacs and eccentrics. and now, the most exclusive club in america is about to get a russian who owes some of his fame and fortune to a bevy of party girls. we're going to tell you about that. his name is mikhail prokhorov, and at age 44, he is about to buy the worst team in professional basketball, the new jersey nets. it's not that often you get a chance to sit down and talk to a rich russian, and we couldn't pass up the opportunity. >> mikhail prokhorov: for me, life and business, in

particular, is a big game. >> kroft: if you could afford to do anything, would you do this? and hire a production company to put it to music? how about this? maybe not, but mikhail prokhorov is always looking for a challenge. you like danger? >> i like to control risk. >> kroft: "control risk." >> yeah. >> kroft: by now, you have probably guessed that russia's wealthiest citizen and largest individual taxpayer is an adrenaline junky. he is also one of the country's most avid sportsmen, a former owner of a moscow basketball team that won the european championship. you will also notice that he is quite tall-- 6'8", to be exact-- as he trains here with his personal kick-boxing partner, who is also the coach of the russian national team. >> prokhorov: i am addicted to sport. without sport, i feel bad. in this case, it's... it's some kind of drug. >> kroft: how much time do you

spend working out every day? >> prokhorov: two hours. whatever happen, two hours i have my workout. >> kroft: reduces stress? >> prokhorov: i like to be in stress. >> kroft: you like it? >> prokhorov: it's my competitive advantage. >> kroft: for someone who loves sports, stress and challenges, there is probably no better buy than the new jersey nets. for a few hundred million dollars, prokhorov is just a few formalities away from acquiring 80% of the worst team in the national basketball association. 20 years ago, a russian would never have been allowed to buy an american sports franchise, but nba commissioner david stern says its just one more sign that the world is changing. >> david stern: america is really the only place where the question gets asked, "what about those foreigners?" this is a global sport. our games are televised in 215 countries and 43 languages. so it was really a natural import of globalization. >> kroft: it also has something to do with the recession.

a number of n.b.a. teams are struggling financially, and prokhorov has the one thing the league and the nets need most right now-- very deep pockets, which come from a far-flung financial empire. he flew us to siberia to check out russia's richest gold mining company. he owns almost half of it, plus a big chunk of the world's biggest aluminum producer. there is a media empire, plus two banks, an insurance company, and lots of real estate, including this house, which has a built-in swimming pool and, of course, a fitness center. that your boat? >> prokhorov: my small yacht. >> kroft: he showed us a model of his 200-foot yacht. the real one, he says, makes him seasick. where is it now? >> prokhorov: really, i... i don't know. >> kroft: you don't know where it is? >> prokhorov: no. >> kroft: and we spotted some of his other toys. >> prokhorov: it's brand new. it's a kalashnikov, but for special forces. >> kroft: it never hurts to have friends in the special forces, and right now, prokhorov has friends everywhere.

the night we were invited for dinner, the guest list included a former russian governor and one of the country's biggest movie stars at a table laden with regional delicacies flown in for the occasion, and endless bottles of chateau lafitte rothschild '95. after business and sports, prokhorov says food is his favorite passion, followed by human interaction and beautiful women, and on that last front, he has managed to remain unencumbered. >> prokhorov: and frankly speaking, i like women. in my heart, i am still teenager. and i am very open and i don't want to hide this. >> kroft: you say you're a big risk taker, in business and in and in sports, but not with women, right? >> prokhorov: i'm not to blame. i think women, they're making the same mistake with me all the time. the way to the man's heart is through his stomach. >> kroft: he says he hasn't found a woman who can cook well enough to marry, but he seems to be looking for her in all the wrong places.

when prokhorov took us to moscow's exclusive soho club, there were 20 beautiful women waiting in his private section to entertain him and his friends, and none of them looked like they wanted to spend their lives over a hot stove. as we said earlier, this penchant for pulchritude has gotten him into trouble before, and helped him make a fortune. but before we get to that, it helps to know about his money and how he made it. people say you are the richest man in russia. >> prokhorov: maybe. who knows? >> kroft: you don't know how much money you have? >> prokhorov: no. >> kroft: does 17 billion sound about right? >> prokhorov: i'm lucky to have enough money to be really independent. but it doesn't drive me just to count money, thinking about money; it's only a side effect of what i'm doing in business. >> kroft: like most russian billionaires, prokhorov's fortune was molded from the ashes of the former soviet union, with a little bit of luck

and the help of a powerful political connection. he was raised among the soviet elite, and studied at the prestigious moscow financial institute, where he majored in international finance. so, when communism and the soviet union finally collapsed, he was one of the few people who knew anything about world markets and free enterprise. >> prokhorov: we made a crazy transformation, just crazy. i can't imagine, 20 years ago, we know nothing about capitalism, nothing. >> kroft: his expertise drew the attention of vladimir potanin, a future deputy prime minister of russia with close ties to the kremlin, who had just been given the right to open two private banks. he asked prokhorov to run them as his partner. the downside was, the job might get him killed. during the 1990s, hundreds of russian businessmen were gunned down by contract killers hired to resolve disputes, or by gangsters trying to muscle in on someone else's turf. >> prokhorov: it was wild west.

it was a territory with no sheriff. >> kroft: with no sheriff. >> prokhorov: no rules. you need to survive. >> kroft: and he did survive, and with no blood on his hands. by the time he reached 30, he was already a multi-millionaire. but a much bigger payday was just around the corner. in 1995, prokhorov and potanin's bank won the equivalent of the russian lottery-- kremlin leaders gave them what amounted to an insider's opportunity to buy one of the state's most valuable assets, a huge mining and metals operation called norilsk nickel, which is among the world's largest producers of nickel, copper and platinum. they acquired it from the kremlin in a so-called "auction" for the measly sum of a few hundred million dollars, in a process that even prokhorov's business partner admitted wasn't perfect, and probably not even legal under western standards. but it was legal in russia. yulia latynina, one of russia's top business journalists, says it was sort of like a slam dunk. no one was shocked or surprised.
