Victor Skormin is a Distinguished Service Professor for the State University of New York at Binghamton. He was detained abroad in Kazakhstan on charges of currency smuggling. I am Jim Moronski, a friend and colleague of Victor and have tried to make as much information available as I can on the status of Victor’s health and the efforts of others to help resolve this unfortunate situation as quickly as possible. I and many of his friends, believe that these charges are unfounded. It is very likely that Victor is a victim of a shakedown gone very wrong while attempting to leave the country. I created this site to help with the dissemination of information regarding his case and to allow more people to preview the information that only a few have had. For some unknown reason, the Administration of Binghamton University has not been in regular contact with Victor in the weeks since his detainment. This has led to dated and potentially inaccurate information being disseminated causing confusion to both faculty and students. I will be trying to update this page regularly. I am in contact with him quite often (many times a day) and am very worried about his health and the Kazakh legal system. I hope that he prevails and is back in the United States with us as quickly as possible. I will be trying to update this page regularly.

What can you do to help?
Please read over at least the diaries and send e-mails to your US Senators and Representatives requesting action. Furthermore, e-mails to the Binghamton University Administration will help to show your support.
