Russian E2K cracking RC5

Tuna Phish writes "Apparently the new Russian E2K computer is being used to crack distributed.net's RC5 contest! The user has come out on top the past few days with 2.7GK/s, more than 6 times the keyrate of second place. His message states "Russian Elbrus E2K is REAL POWER!" " Great-now we just need to get them to join Team Slashdot, and he can get all the pr0n he needs. *grin* So, I've been doing some looking around, and am doubting the veracity of this: bogus client? First prototype? Anyone have more info? Post it in the comments.
