Podcasts about freezing order

“Over 20 years,” writer, investor and campaigner Bill Browder tells Peter Bruce in this Special Edition of Podcasts from the Edge, “Vladimir Putin and his friends have stolen a trillion dollars from Russia.” He has to distract his people or they'd lynch him and It's why he can't stop his invasion of Ukraine. Russia today, Browder says, is a much more totalitarian state than apartheid South Africa ever was. In this wide ranging discussion the author of Red Notice and, more recently, Freezing Order, reveals his favourite country in the world is South Africa. He has a home in Cape Town but dare not visit for fear that Putin would ask the South Africans to arrest him and hand him over. And he worries that they would.

Guest: Sir Bill Browder, financier, creator of Magnitsky Act,  author of Red Notice and Freezing Order.

BIO: William Browder is the CEO of Hermitage Capital Management, Head of the Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign, and author of Red Notice and Freezing Order.STORY: Bill moved to Moscow at the age of 31 and was the only Westerner there with any Wall Street skills. That led him to become the largest foreign investor in the country. His decision to go to Russia was the worst investment of his life. Although Bill made a fortune for his clients and a smaller portion for himself, he wishes he never moved to Russia because a lot of people have died, and a lot of lives have been ruined.LEARNING: Don't go to Russia. “My friend Vladimir is the second most important political prisoner in Russia, and I'm desperately trying to get them out. Hopefully, I'll succeed.”William Browder Guest profileWilliam Browder is the CEO of Hermitage Capital Management, Head of the Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign, and author of Red Notice and Freezing Order. Bill was once Russia's largest foreign portfolio investor until being declared “a threat to national security” in 2005 for exposing corruption in Russian state-owned companies.In 2008, Mr. Browder's lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, uncovered a massive fraud committed by Russian government officials stealing US$230 million of state taxes and was subsequently arrested, imprisoned without trial, and systematically tortured.Sergei Magnitsky died in prison on November 16, 2009. Ever since, Bill Browder has led the Global Magnitsky Campaign for governments around the world to impose targeted visa bans and asset freezes on human rights abusers and highly corrupt officials, introducing the passage of the Sergei Magnitsky Accountability Act in 2012, & the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act 2016. Which has since been adopted by 11 countries, including the USA, UK, Canada, and New Zealand.Worst investment everDuring his teenage rebellion, Bill faced a unique challenge, how to rebel from a family of communists. Undeterred, he hatched a daring plan to don a suit and tie and embrace capitalism. His graduation from Stanford Business School in 1989 coincided with the fall of the Berlin Wall, a moment that sparked a profound realization. With his grandfather's communist legacy and the Berlin Wall's collapse, Bill set his sights on an audacious goal to become the leading capitalist in Eastern Europe.Bill aimed to become the largest investor in that part of the world. He eventually achieved that goal at the very young age of 25. Bill discovered the Russian privatization program, which basically gave everything away for free.Bill moved to Moscow at the age of 31 in 1986, and he was the only Westerner there with any Wall Street skills. That led him to become the largest foreign investor in the country.While initially lucrative, Bill's decision to move to Russia proved to be a double-edged sword. He made a fortune for his clients and a smaller portion for himself, but the cost was high. Lives were lost, and many were left in ruins. Bill reflects on this, considering it the worst investment of his life.Lessons learnedThere are two choices for people who want to rebuild Russia: You can either go back and become part of the criminal enterprise or don't go back. If you go back and try to fix it, you'll become an enemy of the regime and go to jail. So, you can either become imprisoned or become a...

In the days following Navalny's murder, Western leaders have made all too predictable speeches and issued all too predictable condemnations. But as of yet, very little concrete action has been taken to respond to the murder of Russia's most prominent opposition politician. The West talks the talk, but has yet to walk the walk. How should Biden, Sunak and Ursula Van Der Leyen hit Putin where it actually hurts and genuinely punish him for his actions?     In this episode of Disorder, Jason Pack sits down with successful investor, globally acclaimed author, and famous philanthropist/humanitarian advocate, Bill Browder. A close friend of Navalny, Browder talks of his emotions at hearing of his ally's death, how ‘demoralizing' the news is for ordinary people opposing Putin's regime, and what the West can now do to turn their words of condemnation and outrage into concrete actions.    Bill recalls that when he first went to Russia in the 1990s, a chaotic and poorly-organized mafia gradually spread throughout the country. Then, it spread its tentacles throughout the world. And we in the West essentially let this happen. And now Navalny has died bearing further witness to the extent of corruption, indecency, and thuggery in Russia. We must not stand idly by.  Browder's interview concludes with a passionate plea to Western governments – especially the United Kingdom – to work together to confiscate Russian cash reserves and free other imprisoned opposition leaders.    Twitter: @DisorderShow    Subscribe to our Substack: https://natoandtheged.substack.com/     Website: https://natoandtheglobalenduringdisorder.com/     Producer: George McDonagh  Exec Producer: Neil Fearn    Show Notes Links    Jason's article in USAToday about Navalny's messianism, its historical antecedents, and what the West should do to honour his memory and punish Putin.

As Russia's war on Ukraine drags on, we revisit Russian corruption and its weaponization of financial crime in our 2017 interview with Bill Browder. He describes the brazen fraud and violence of Putin's Russia, the death of Sergei Magnitsky, and the passage of the Magnitsky Act. You can also listen to our most recent  interview with Bill, discussing his excellent book, "Freezing Order." (That episode was originally published in 2017.)

Few people know more about Vladimir Putin than Bill Browder. Browder, an investor and political activist, is the architect of the Magnitsky Act, which allows the US government to sanction foreign nationals who have perpetrated human rights abuses.  One of Browder's key allies in the passage of the Magnitsky Act was a fellow activist named Vladimir Kara-Murza. Kara-Murza is now imprisoned in a Russian jail. Browder joins Preet to discuss Kara-Murza's case and Putin's war on his political opponents.

The latest massacres in Bucha and Mariupol have shown that Vladimir Putin has no regard for human life – he only cares about power and money. In Putin's eyes, money is power, and vice versa. That's why freezing the assets of Russians tied to Putin's regime is so important. Between 1996 and 2005, American investor Bill Browder ran the largest foreign investment firm in Russia, until he was declared ‘a threat to Russian national security' and got kicked out of the country. Browder has spent the last 14 years trying to understand the dark money flowing out of Russia.In his book Freezing Order Browder tells the story of his quest to establish a global regime for imposing sanctions on Russians involved in corruption and criminality. Support the show

Chair: Monica Attard Bill Browder's company, Hermitage Capital Management, has been the largest foreign investor in Russia since 2005. This has given him a unique insight into how Russia works. His conclusion in his new book, Freezing Order, is that Russia is riddled with corruption and human rights abuses and that its exercise of influence in elections overseas is deeply troubling. Browder explains why he has spent the last few years advocating for countries to adopt the Magnitsky Act. Event details: Tue 07 Mar, 9:30am on the West Stage

Bill Browder is the head of the Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign the author of Red Notice and Freezing Order. Bill was the largest foreign investor in Russia until 2005, when he was denied entry to the country and declared “a threat to national security” for exposing corruption in Russian state-owned companies.In 2008, Browder's lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, uncovered a massive fraud committed by Russian government officials that involved the theft of US $230 million of state taxes. Sergei testified against state officials involved in this fraud and was subsequently arrested, imprisoned without trial and systematically tortured. He spent a year in prison under horrific detention conditions, was repeatedly denied medical treatment, and died in prison on November 16, 2009, leaving behind a wife and two children.Since then, Mr. Browder has sought justice outside of Russia and started a global campaign for governments around the world to impose targeted visa bans and asset freezes on human rights abusers and highly corrupt officials. The United States was the first to impose these targeted sanctions with the passage of the Sergei Magnitsky Accountability Act in 2012, followed by the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act in 2016. Misha and Bill caught up for a chinwag about Russian sanctions, whether the world could have done more to stop Putin's invasion, what the deaths of Russian oligarchs tells us, what the world including Australia can do to help Ukraine and whether Russian democracy is possible.

What would you do if a wealthy and powerful tyrant decided you were a direct challenge to his power? This is the dilemma that Bill Browder, best-selling author and human rights activist, has faced over the last fifteen years. Earning the ire of Vladimir Putin, in 2009, his lawyer Sergei Magnitsky was tortured and murdered in cold blood; this heinous act set off a chain of events that would lead Browder to work both ends of the candle to raise a stunning piece of legislation called the Magnitsky act. Now enacted in 35 countries, it allows governments sweeping powers to freeze the assets and visas of foreign government officials deemed to be human rights offenders.  At 58, this American native, in this latest episode of 52 Insights, recounts his incredible tale of survival with me. His chilling story,  documented in his bestselling novels Freezing Order and Red Notice, read like omens leading up to the gravest geopolitical conflict in Europe since WW2. Browder's story isn't just about one man's endless fight to dismantle a sociopathic regime but a tale built on protecting his virtues - justice, perseverance and a higher calling. It's hard not to be inspired by his story. In this discussion, we delve into the following: Browder's personal history Russia's erratic journey to the present day Examining the relationship between Browder's sanction work and Putin's War with Ukraine Trump's collusion with Russia Putin's personal vendetta against Browder The war in Ukraine and its eventual conclusion Browder's legacy

What will it take to stop Russia's President Vladimir Putin? Few have seen his wrath as closely as American-born British financier Bill Browder, who was the largest foreign investor in Russia until investigations led by his lawyer Sergei Magnitsky exposed massive corruption and misconduct by Russian officials leading all the way to Putin. After Magnitsky's murder in a Moscow jail, Browder continued to advocate for justice, becoming Putin's next target, a story he tells in his latest book Freezing Order and in this Book Talk with Doorstep co-hosts Tatiana Serafin and Nikolas Gvosdev.

We are in a golden age for organized crime and corruption, according to watchdog groups. Technological innovations like cryptocurrency have given criminals new tools for covering their tracks, and allowed them to spread out around the globe. Bad actors have spent decades building tangled webs of enablers and tactics, and they now have more resources and capital than ever to invest in new crime enterprises. The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project has reporters and editors on every continent who put their lives at risk to follow trails of laundered money and trace clues back to the guilty parties. Their reporting uncovers the ways corruption is chipping away at democracy, human rights, and quality of life for regular citizens. The co-founders of the OCCRP, Drew Sullivan and Paul Radu, along with Freezing Order author Bill Browder,  joined NPR host and reporter Mary Louise Kelly on stage at the Aspen Ideas Festival, to explain their methods, share their read on the magnitude of the problem, and speculate about the future of organized, globalized crime.

When Russia's President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of neighbouring Ukraine in February 2022, he plunged his country and his citizens into an ongoing period of economic decline and global isolation. On day one of the war, he ramped up Russia's propaganda machine and began conducting country-wide crackdowns on signs of protest and dissent. The government imposed travel restrictions on its citizens, but nearly 4 million Russians were reported to have left the country by early May 2022.Many of those who have left belong to the generation of outward-looking entrepreneurs and creatives who have lived, worked, or studied outside of Russia in the past – the same people who were driving Russia's economic and cultural sectors until a few months ago.Bill Browder, CEO of Hermitage Capital, Head of the Global Magnitsky Campaign, and author of Red Notice and Freezing Order and Nataliya Vasilyeva, Russia correspondent for The Telegraph, join Dr James Rodgers, lecturer at City University in conversation on the future of Russia. They discuss whether Russia is facing a ‘brain-drain, the impact of Western and global sanctions on Russia's economy and society, and if Russia will ever be able to repair its relations with the rest of the world.This episode was recorded as a live broadcast on 22 June 2022.

In this special extended episode, Anthony joins Bill Browder, founder and CEO of Hermitage Capital Management, head of the Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign and the best-selling author of Red Notice and Freezing Order. Together they discuss Bill's career path, from being the largest foreign investor in Russia to a declared “threat to national security” for exposing corruption in Russian state-owned companies. They delve into the story behind his associate, tax lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who was imprisoned and eventually killed in detention in 2009 after attempting to expose a plot to extort $230 million worth of Russian tax money. Bill discusses the story of Magnitsky's arrest, imprisonment, torture and death, and how he has made it his “exclusive mission” to get justice for Sergei and his family. His latest book, Freezing Order: A True Story of Russian Money Laundering, Murder, and Surviving Vladimir Putin's Wrath, follows the money all the way to the top of Russia's murderous kleptocracy.

Wake by Shelley Burr. The latest in a crop of really terrific Australian crime thrillers – they all share similar characteristics. Small isolated town, atmospheric, the heat, and people in small communities telling lots of lies. Centres around the case of a missing girl which has never been resolved though her sister has often been suspected of the crime, and a Private Investigator turns up years later to try and solve it – or is he really just interested in the million-dollar reward…? Freezing Order by Bill Browder. I could talk about this for ages. He wrote a book called Red Notice a few years ago about how he became Putin's Number One Public Enemy. This is essentially a continuation of that story. He spoke to Hosking this morning though I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet but he's fascinating, and so courageous. He had a foreign portfolio investment company in Moscow, which at the time was the largest in Russia and ran afoul of the state when he discovered they'd stolen money from his company and laundered it out of Russia. He had a young (in his 30's) Russian lawyer called Sergei Magnistky who was imprisoned and beaten to death in gaol. Browder went on to drive through legislation in the US – and since adopted by other countries – called the Magnitsky Act, freezing the visas and assets of proven human rights abusers which has limited the Russian state in some of its activities. Putin hates him and he lives his life in constant danger but won't give up the cause. 

Freezing Order is a true story of money laundering, murder and surviving Vladimir Putin's wrath. Bill Browder's latest expose of Russian graft and criminality recounts a Russian tax refund scam, that the Interior Ministry created for the financial benefit of Putin's oligarch cronies, and then sued Browder in US courts as the engineer and beneficiary. With Vladimir Putin as one of the likely recipient's of part of the deal, the Russians pulled out every legal and political trick to divert the trail to the despot. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/james-herlihy/message

Bill Browder was one of the biggest foreign investors in Russia until 2005 when he was kicked out of the country. He is now known for being one of Vladimir Putin's fiercest critics.   He joins Krishnan to talk about his new book called Freezing Order - in which he details his mission to pursue justice for his lawyer and friend Sergei Magnitsky who died in a Russian jail.    Produced by: Nina Hodgson   Photo credit: Luke MacGregor

Washington Post columnist David Ignatius speaks with Bill Browder, the founder and CEO of Hermitage Capital Management, about why he was declared a threat to Russian national security as detailed in his new book, “Freezing Order: A True Story of Money Laundering, Murder, and Surviving Vladimir Putin's Wrath.”

American-born British businessman Bill Browder did not set out to expose Russian money laundering operations and link President Vladimir Putin to those schemes. But after Browder's Russian lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was arrested and found dead in his jail cell, the gloves were off. Browder lobbied Congress for years until the Magnitsky Act was passed in 2012, allowing the United States to sanction individuals suspected of human rights abuses, including Russian judges, Saudis involved in the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and Chinese officials linked to the abuse of Uighurs. In this episode, host Steve Clemons speaks to Browder about his latest book, Freezing Order.

Russia invaded Ukraine in late February, but financier Bill Browder said he's tried to warn governments about Vladimir Putin's corruption and violence for years longer. Judy Woodruff asks Browder about his new book, "Freezing Order," which details what he learned and the risks he faced exposing a money laundering ring tied to Putin, and what that tells us about where the war in Ukraine goes next.

Founder and CEO of Hermitage Capital Management joins Zerlina and Jess to discuss his new book Freezing Order: A True Story of Money Laundering, Murder, and Surviving Vladimir Putin's Wrath. Bill Browder is the founder and CEO of Hermitage Capital Management and was the largest foreign investor in Russia until 2005. Since 2009, when his lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was murdered in prison after uncovering a $230 million fraud committed by Russian government officials, Browder has been leading a campaign to expose Russia's endemic corruption and human rights abuses. Before founding Hermitage, Browder was vice president at Salomon Brothers. He holds a BA in economics from the University of Chicago and an MBA from Stanford Business School.Following his explosive New York Times bestseller Red Notice, Bill Browder returns with another gripping thriller chronicling how he became Vladimir Putin's number one enemy by exposing Putin's campaign to steal and launder hundreds of billions of dollars and kill anyone who stands in his way.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.

Bill Browder is the founder and CEO of Hermitage Capital Management, which was the investment adviser to the largest foreign investment fund in Russia until 2005, when Bill was denied entry to the country and declared a “threat to national security” as a result of his battle against corporate corruption. His colleague, tax lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, was detained and murdered by Putin’s regime in 2009 for uncovering state corruption. In 2012, Browder successfully lobbied the US Congress to pass the Magnitsky Act, a bipartisan bill to punish those in Russia responsible for Magnitsky’s death. Bill is the author of the New York Times bestseller Red Notice, and the upcoming book Freezing Order, available April 12th. This week he joins Garry Kasparov and Uriel Epshtein for a discussion on corruption in Russia, how sanctions can weaken Putin along with his propaganda and war machines, and what it would take to make sanctions effective.

A series of governments on both sides of the Atlantic have announced punitive measures in response to Russia ordering troops into rebel-held regions of eastern Ukraine. But how much of an impact will these sanctions actually have on Russia? In addition to restrictions on banks and access to capital markets, a number of individuals have had assets frozen. We speak to veteran anti-corruption campaigner Bill Browder, who has written a book "Freezing Order" about Russian money-laundering. Also Maria Shagina, a visiting senior fellow at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs, who isn't convinced that the sanctions targeting individuals will work, but says financial institutions may be vulnerable. Vladimir Putin's move has not triggered the full range of sanctions Western nations have prepared though. We hear from Hal Hodgson, technology reporter for The Economist, who says freezing out of the trade in western technology has had a devastating effect against the Chinese technology firm Huawei and could be deployed if tensions escalate. Plus we get the latest market reaction to the international response from Justin Urquhart Stewart of Regionally Investment.

In the present case, the Appellant had approached the Court alleging that since its bank accounts are frozen illegally by the Respondents, it is not able to clear the statutory dues that it otherwise would have cleared. In response, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) did concede that while freezing the bank accounts, it did not comply with the mandate of Section 17 of PMLA. According to the ED, the apparent purpose to freeze the bank accounts is to stop the further layering/division of proceeds of crime and to safeguard the proceeds of crime. Section 17 of PMLA and Section 102 of CrPC The Court explained Section 17 of PMLA as under: - “Under Section 17 of the PMLA, the pre-requisite is that any authorized officer should on the basis of information in his possession to be recorded to in writing, have reason to believe that such person has committed acts relating to money laundering and there is need to seize any record or property found in the search. Such officer also has the power to freeze such record or property if it is not possible to seize the same. After issuance of the Freezing Order, the authorized officer shall forward a copy of the reasons along with the materials in possession to the Adjudicating Authority. The Officer who had seized or frozen any record or property shall have to file an application requesting for retention of such record/property before the Adjudicating Authority. This procedure also has to be filed in case of a Bank Account. In the present case, this procedure was not followed and hence, the freezing or the continuation thereof is without due compliance of the legal requirements and unsustainable.” The procedure relating to search and seizure under Section 102 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, was also differentiated by the Court and it was observed that the scheme of the PMLA is entirely different and when the power is available under a special enactment (PMLA), the question of resorting to the power under the general law does not arise. Thereafter the Court considered the question relating to Section 102 of CrPC that provides certain powers to the investigating agencies. The Court cited the case of Mohinder Singh Gill & Another vs. The Chief Election Commissioner, New Delhi & Ors., (1978) 1 SCC 405, that provides that: - “8. The second equally relevant matter is that when a statutory functionary makes an order based on certain grounds, its validity must be judged by the reasons so mentioned and cannot be supplemented by fresh reasons in the shape of affidavit or otherwise. Otherwise, an order bad in the beginning may, by the time it comes to court on account of a challenge, get validated by additional grounds later brought out. We may here draw attention to the observations of Bose J. in Gordhandas Bhanji:(1) Public orders, publicly made, in exercise of a statutory authority cannot be construed in the light of explanations subsequently given by the officer making the order of what he meant, or of what was in his mind, or what he intended to do. Public orders made by public authorities are meant to have public effect and are intended to effect the actings and conduct of those to whom they are addressed and must be construed objectively with reference to the language used in the order itself.Orders are not like old wine becoming better as they grow older:” The Court also observed that the arguments relating to Section 102 of CrPC has been taken at a belated stage that cannot be accepted now. Interpretative Process While explaining Section 17 of PMLA and Section 102 of CrPC, the Court also conducted an interpretative exercise and cited the case of Chandra Kishor Jha vs. Mahavir Prasad and Ors. (1999) 8 SCC 266, wherein it was held that: - “It is a well settled salutary principle that if a statute provides for a thing to be done in a particular manner, then it has to be done in that manner and in no other manner.” The Court opined that if the above-stated salutary principle is to be taken recourse to, then it would mean that though the Authorized Officer under Section 17 of PMLA is vested with sufficient powers, yet such power is also circumscribed by the very same provision and the statute. Any other manner of exercise of power except as contemplated under PMLA would mean that due process of law has not been complied with, before and after freezing the bank accounts. Concluding Remarks The Court finally directed the Respondents (ED etc.) to defreeze the bank accounts and honour the payments advised by the Appellants towards the statutory dues. I find this to be a welcome judgment and the reasoning adopted by the Courts seems to be in consonance with its earlier decision wherein the procedure prescribed under a special statute has been given due regard. The officers of many investigative agencies have become like bloodhounds and sometimes, in the name of implicating a person or a body, some officials go too far and act in utter disregard of the procedural formalities. Freezing bank accounts is a serious affair for any business entity and it is akin to cutting the financial bloodline of any such entity. Such measures should not be taken as a matter of routine recourse but should be taken only after compliance of all the procedural formalities as contemplated in the parent statute are done.
