"Russian stories never have happy endings."
Bill Browder is the CEO and co-founder of Hermitage Capital Management, firebrand financier and man who survived Putin's wrath. Following the death of his lawyer in Russian prison and his forced deportation to the UK, Bill successfully lobbied for the passing of the Magnitsky act, which revolutionised sanctions worldwide.
Despite having many of his assets seized, Bill has tirelessly pressured western governments into taking Putin's threat seriously. Bestselling author, outspoken Russian critic and recipient of eight interpol arrest warrants for extradition to Moscow, Bill is a key thorn in Putin's side.
"[Bill] is such a thorn in Mr. Putin’s side that the Russian president singled him out by name during his first official summit with President Donald J. Trump." The New York Times
"Business associates of Mr. Browder have earned over $1.5 billion in Russia. They never paid any taxes." Vladimir Putin
