Episode Details

Bill Browder is the founder and CEO of Hermitage Capital Management, the largest foreign investment fund in Russia until 2005. He grew an initial investment of $25mm to over $4 billion while challenging violent oligarchs. Bill eventually ran afoul of Vladimir Putin, kicked out of the country, and declared a “threat to national security." That was just the beginning. Russian police officials took over his companies, used them to steal $230 million from the Russian treasury, framed Bill, and eventually arrested and killed his lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky. Today Bill lives under threat of retaliation and spends his time fighting to honor Sergei’s memory. He tells the story in his book, Red Notice, which was an New York Times best-seller and a MUST READ.  Buy Red Notice here: https://amzn.to/2JTb2FS Read more about Sergei Magnitsky: http://www.billbrowder.com/sergei-magnitsky
