Bill Browder is convincing the world that Vladimir Putin will stop at nothing to remain in power
Katie talks with Bill Browder, author of Freezing Order: A True Story of Money Laundering, Murder, and Surviving Vladimir Putin s Wrath, who spent a portion of his career as an investor in Russia before becoming the main thorn in Vladimir Putin s side. Browder and his associate, tax lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, discovered corruption among Russian oligarchs in the early 2000s, and attempted to expose the powerful men and the plot to extort 230 million dollars worth of Russian tax money. Instead, Browder was expelled from Russia and Magnitsky was imprisoned, and eventually killed in detention in 2009. Since then, Browder has waged a war to expose the corrupt officials behind Magnitsky s death. In 2012, he was able to get The Magnitsky Act passed in the U. S., which is able to freeze the assets of targeted individuals, sanction human rights offenders, and ban them from entering the United States. Subscribe to my channel: Follow me on Insta
