• Book: Freezing Order

    From August Abolins@1:153/757.21 to All on Sunday, May 29, 2022 09:00:00
    "When Bill Browder's young Russian lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky,
    was beaten to death in a Moscow jail, Browder made it his
    life's mission to go after his killers and make sure they faced
    justice. The first step of that mission was to uncover who was
    behind the $230 million tax refund scheme that Magnitsky was
    killed over. As Browder and his team tracked the money as it
    flowed out of Russia through the Baltics and Cyprus and on to
    Western Europe and the Americas, they were shocked to discover
    that Vladimir Putin himself was a beneficiary of the crime.

    "As law enforcement agencies began freezing the money, Putin
    retaliated. He and his cronies set up honey traps, hired
    process servers to chase Browder through cities, murdered more
    of his Russian allies, and enlisted some of the top lawyers and
    politicians in America to bring him down. Putin will stop at
    nothing to protect his money. As Freezing Order reveals, it was
    Browder's campaign to expose Putin's corruption that prompted
    Russia's intervention in the 2016 US presidential election.

    "At once a financial caper, an international adventure, and a
    passionate plea for justice, Freezing Order is a stirring
    morality tale about how one man can take on one of the most
    ruthless villains in the world - and win.

    Are you familiar with Browder's first book, Red Notice? An
    incredible tale that sets the stage.

    BTW.. to any Russian-speaking.. the Russian edition of Red
    Notice is available as a FREE download.

    I just downloaded the ebook -- 21Mb is too big to email to my Kindle, so I'll have to connect by cable & transfer it that way. . .

    Truly true, or more "based on a true story?"
