Nicholas Savin (b.1858-a.1904?) Russian Count who inherited great wealth and spent it at a fast rate. He therefore had to borrow money from the rich and famous and moved on when life became uncomfortable. He also spied for governments and ended up being sent to Siberia as a convict. [See " Soldier of Fortune" in the SAVIN Sagas]

George Savin (a.1790) Swindler in Pennsylvania, USA, who duped people into handing over their money to him on the false promise of doubling it in a short time and then absconding with their funds. [See "Silver-tongued Swindler" in the SAVIN Sagas]
