After it was abandoned, I acquired the entire sum of the fortune from Sergei's Legacy. After the first portion was laundered, I got heavily into gambling and after a few months, I was even given the Key to Caesar's Palace!
Unfortunately, I must admit that Sergei's Legacy stage 2 cache was not exactly lost in the way that I originally described in my logs, but rather I lost it in a wager. So, in an attempt to reform my gambling ways, I have emptied my pockets into this, Sergei's #3 cache... no more wagering for this fellow!
To find this cache, you will need to first locate Sergei's Missed Fortune #1 and retrieve the codeword/key. Then use it to decode this message:

| To preserve the spirit of seeking Sergei's Missed Fortune #1, please visit it's (archived) geocache page and review this log for an easy hint on getting the keyword for Sergei's #3. If you're still stumped, please drop me a note. |
Do not forget to note the codeword at this cache, because you will need it to find the final and help me disperse the final portion of Sergei's fortune.
9/26/2006 - After only 1 finder at the original location, the cache had to be moved due to an originally unnoticed 'No Trespassing' sign. I don't want others to gamble with the authorities!
11/15/2006 - The keyword scribbled in the front of the logbook is probably too obscure to allow you to find Sergei's Final Missed Fortune (GCY62P), so I am planning to change it. If you need the new keyword, please email me and I'll exchange your old keyword for a brand-spanking new one. 
9/10/2007 - The keyword in the logbook has finally been updated to make more sense once you get around to decoding the final puzzle. If you noted the keyword before this date and need to have the new one so that you can find Sergei's Final Missed Fortune, please send me an email.
6/30/2010 - Has it really been well over 3.5 years since this was setup? Wow! I've decided to allow you to check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
