      The state assets were only given to a few people--Yeltsin's friends, then Putin's friends. Easy to make $ when you are given so much wealth that you start on 3rd base.

      He was and is a carpetbagger scumbag who made millions off the misery of Russians after the fall of the USSR, and hates Putin because he put an end to the Yeltsin-era free money party.
      Doesn't make Putin good, but this guy is a real piece of it. Look up his FBI deposition video - he suddenly can't remember anything under oath. If my kid grew up to be Bill Browder, I would be disgusted that I didn't do a better job parenting.

      Don't forget about Zalinski's corruption. He has pulled the wool over the world's eyes - since he is an Actor, and a very foul-mouthed comedian. He actually took his mother to a show, andt had a very large part of the show about [women's genitalia]. His mother walked out in disgust. That's the kind of guy we are dealing with. Pure corruption, and would turn over his own *mother* for a buck.

    I'd partly heard of the Magnitsky Act, but never found out it's actual origin. Thank you William Browder for enlightening me about the man who stood up to greed and corruption and paid the ultimate price. Further reading on Sergei reveals he was was born and raised in Odessa in the Ukraine - ironically one of the coastal cities on Putin's current 'must have' list. Sergei Magnitsky was as brave then, as every Ukrainian is being now. How much longer can Putin order - and get away with - the bullying and killing of foreign and Russian innocents? The man is a megalomaniac bully and those who support him are just as complicit. SLAVA UKRAINI.

There's a reason why many companies leave russia - over 70% of russians support the war in Ukraine.
      If you don't believe me, talk to an average russian. You'll be shocked just how barbaric their thinking is. Constantly living in the past glory of a big empire, wanting to revive that. They don't define greatness as being democratic, not having a dictator, and connecting with other counties. They define greatness as having the will to attack other countries and expand territory.

      @@altgenesis Yes he did. To this day he is friends with the family and together they keep trying to uncover the corruption. You claim he took all the money out of Russia. Where is your proof? Do you have access to his accounts? To start a hedge fund you need capital. The fund was started with foreign investors who put money into Russia. When he liquidated his Russian assets, he just recovered his investors money. You need to look at the Russian Oligarchs and Putin to find out who is taking money out of Russia.

    A story of a great man, two great men, but Achilles's heel?
    It's been many years since the Magnitsky Act has been passed and the truth is it did little to stop or destroy Putin.
    Looking at what is happening in Ukraine, I dare to say, the Magnitsky Act did nothing to stop Putin. Mich more aggressive intervention was needed.
    So, no, it's not dictators' Achilles's heel. Just a little inconvenience.

      Completely agree. The west uses gentle measures to stop someone who is the embodiment of violence and corruption. Much harsher methods should be used.

      Surely you are not suggesting that individuals should not act justly?
      These 2 men & the Magnitsky Act don't constitute the totality of The West's reaction.
      I suppose 'Achille's heel' is not the appropriate descriptor. What would Putin's Achilles heel look like to you?
