For those interested in Putin, his gang of fellow kleptocrats and the Magnitsky Act, a useful introduction can be found here, but there’s plenty of information a simple Google search will discover.

Oh dear. Bill Browder??? One of the most known tax sharpers in World? Are you serious?
People who trust to Browder's words are even more idiots than people who trusts to Putin's words...

[Khor tose]

Okay, I'll be an idiot, and take Browder's words and book on Putin. If he wasn't right Putin would not be trying so hard to discredit him.

Typical disinformation tactic- attack the messenger in the hope that will discourage people from checking out the message.

Everyone here knows how it was. Browder used shady schemes and siphoned money out of the Russian economy through fake VAT returns. During this "business" he met with competitors and wanted to crush them. But the competitors were people under the protection of the FSB. Browder smugly decided he had the strength to deal with them. Did not work out. And he fled abroad, leaving his employee to rot in prison.

Magnitsky is the only person in this story who really suffered for nothing. Browder is just a bastard. And he gives out all these interviews and tells how bad Pitin is, just because he needs to restore his reputation, which has suffered greatly due to the fact that this story showed what he was doing in Russia, so he needs a smoke screen of scandal and a shift in attention from him to someone else - in this case, Putin

“Everyone HERE”? Where, Russia?

“Everyone HERE”? Where, Russia?

Yes. By the way: at time of this story Medvedev was president in Russia.

Check Browder's book "Red notice...", there he wrote how profitable was his business here: 1500% yearly. Even drug-dealers has less.

Even drug-dealers has less.

I’ll take your word as an expert witness.

I’ll take your word as an expert witness.

Sure. Fair business with 1500%? No way.

Capital fears a lack of profit or too little profit, as nature fears emptiness. But once there is sufficient profit, capital becomes bold. Provide 10 percent, and capital agrees to any use, at 20 percent it becomes animated, at 50 percent it is positively ready to break its head, at 100 percent it tramples on all human laws, at 300 percent there is no crime that it would not risk, even on pain of the gallows. If noise and abuse are profitable, capital will do both.

I always liked this one about Putin. Straight, to the point, accurate.
