Red Notice by Bill Browder A great true Political thriller

The true Powerful story of activist Bill Browder's life in Russia among the rich and powerful. An American moves to Russia in the Crazy 1990s. He makes a heap of money trading in the stock market, makes a enemy of Vladimir Putin and his mobsters of his thieving empire, and becomes deported. His best friend and lawyer is murdered bye  Vladimir Putin's thugs as so many of his foes are.Rather than lying low, he battles back. He turns into an global crusader for justice.

A genuine political thriller about an American investor in the Wild East of Russia, the killing of his young tax attorney, and his risky quest to uncover the Kremlin’s corruption.

Bill Browder’s voyage started on the South Side of Chicago and shifted to Stanford Business School to the insane community of hedge fund investing in the 1990s. It carried on in Moscow, where Browder made his fortune heading the largest investment fund in Russia after the Soviet Union’s collapse. But when he revealed the corrupt officials who were robbing the companies in which he was investing, Vladimir Putin flipped on him and, in 2005, had him expelled from Russia.

As a youthful management advisor in London, he conveyed a unexplained interest in Eastern Europe, and just after the Berlin Wall drops, he had a humorous adventure trying to rebuild a Polish bus company. This led to him establishing his own investment firm, Hermitage Capital. In December 1995 at age 31, Browder moved to Moscow.

Red Notice is the tale of Bill Browder's hedge fund, Hermitage Capital, which at one time was the most significant foreign investor in Russia. Hermitage created extremely high profits and, before its collapse, Browder had four and a half billion dollars under his management. As opposed to hedge funds like Long Term Capital Management, the fund did not blowup. Alternatively, it was ruined by the corrupt Russian government. This the narrative of Heritage Capital's rise and fall. It is also the saga of the murder of a Russian tax lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky who worked for Browder. Red Notice is also an account of Bill Browder's campaign for justice for Magnitsky.
This is a amazing book read it.
