About this deal

Mind-blowing. This personal account of Browder's battle for justice is at times terrifying, at times deeply touching— and leads inexorably to a vast money laundering scheme the Kremlin will stop at nothing to cover up." — Catherine Belton, author of Putin’s People An insider’s account of the rampant misconduct within the Trump administration, including the tumult surrounding the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021. Then in 2003 Putin jailed Mikhail Khodorkovsky, at the time the richest oligarch in Russia, and instead of opposing corruption, began putting the squeeze on the duly intimidated oligarchy. That meant putting a stop to Browder’s busy-bodying by deporting him from Russia in 2005. Browder has been the recipient of dozens of awards and recognitions. Some of the most significant are listed below. Hermitage Capital's Browder Sentenced In Absentia By Moscow Court". Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. 29 December 2017.

Putin’s retaliation has led him to try and entrap Browder repeatedly, having him arrested by a rather dim Interpol in Madrid, acting unwittingly in Putin’s interests, and chased by heavies in New York and Aspen; targeting him in a would-be honey-trap in Monaco; pursuing him through the US courts; and, most egregiously, requesting at the famous 2018 Helsinki summit with Trump that Trump hand him over as part of an exchange of GRU officers wanted for US election interference. By the glint in Prosecutor Grinda’s eye, I could see that he would take what I was telling him seriously. When our meeting was over, I felt confident that we had gained another ally in the West—and that Putin’s Russia had lost a few more shreds of its tattered credibility. I laughed a little. “No, thank you. This whole ordeal has made me forty-five minutes late for a meeting—with José Grinda.”This book is another incredible journey into the pits of Russian degeneracy, and the Russian government’s fight against the Magnitsky Act that Browder fought so hard to pass to vindicate the death of his friend and attorney, Sergei Magnitsky. Magnitsky exposed Russian corruption and misconduct alongside Browder and was subsequently tortured and killed by the regime. From the first chapter to the last, I was hanging on to the edge of my seat during the entire book, as Browder courageously tries to find out who was behind the spiderweb of money laundering and murder and why.

I hope that my story will help you understand the methods of Russian operatives in Washington and how they use U.S. enablers to achieve major foreign policy goals without disclosing those interests.

You can see this would cause someone with a trillion... a trillion!...stolen dollars some little anxiety. It's led to many murders and attempted murders. It's been clearly documented (the book has astoundingly detailed source material citations). It's led to many acts of cybercrime and harassment (see review linked) against those trying to stop the actual stealing and killing. Although the book does touch on politics, the author remains objective and doesn't discuss political views. He keeps the focus on Putin and how he has managed to amass a huge fortune through criminal activity. I also appreciate how the author explained the intricacies of financial crimes and money laundering in simple terms. I learned a lot. I also learned hair raising things like judges can stay on the bench until they decide to leave, even if they are 80+ years old and no longer up to the task. a b c d e f Levy, Clifford J.
