Description
Freezing Order: A True Story of Russian Money Laundering, State-Sponsored Murder, and Surviving Vladimir Putin's Wrath by Bill Browder. In this gripping true story, Bill Browder recounts the events that led him to become Vladimir Putin's number one enemy. The story begins with the brutal murder of Browder's young Russian lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, in a Moscow jail. Browder's quest for justice took him on a perilous journey to uncover the truth behind Magnitsky's death, which was linked to a $230 million tax refund scheme. As Browder and his team tracked the money trail, they were shocked to discover that Putin himself was a beneficiary of the crime. The Russian leader and his cronies retaliated with a campaign of intimidation, using honey traps, process servers, and even murder to silence Browder and his allies. The author's campaign to expose Putin's corruption ultimately led to Russia's interference in the 2016 US presidential election. This book is a heart-pounding account of one man's fight against corruption and tyranny, and the consequences that followed.
