Same with Elena, David, and friends from all around the world, including several in Russia. I texted Elena that I was fine and would call her soon. I did the same with David and my colleagues at the office in London.

Third, where there are assets in Australia, service out of Australia is permitted Mind-blowing. Bill Browder takes us down the rabbit hole of Kremlin lawfare where down is up and wrong is right, and powerful Russian interests are trying to upend our legal and political systems. 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 seemingly stop at nothing to cover up.' - Catherine Belton 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. 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 Apologies, Mr. Browder,” the manager said, glancing at the floor. “But these men need to see your identification.”

American lawyers were hired by rich Russians to try and prove that a money-laundering case against a company called Prevezon Holdings was completely fictitious and that the real culprit was Bill Browder. These court cases made my flesh creep because the Russians have so much money they can afford to hire the most expensive lawyers for as long as it takes to make their case.

If you read these books you’ll know more about what’s happening in Russia than not only the people in your neighborhood, but many on TV! All you have to do is read them." — The Lefsetz Letter

Nothing really surprises me today about corrupt politicos, I think they are all pretty much corrupt, and selling their souls for new soles! I was in Bosnia with the UN and I have to say that the Russians, as a group, were almost as scary as the Serbs. The Russian mafia was everywhere and basically in charge of so much. I know that is nothing like what Browder has put up with, but I was working with stripe shirts and thugs, while he faced off the powerful. No lawyer? What the hell did that mean?
