Summary

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。

Amazing book about the worldwide reach out dirty Russian money and the corruption of the Putin regime。 Focus is on the fight for the passage of the Magnitsky act in the USA and other countries around the world。

WOW!!!!! I won this book through Goodreads Giveaways and I’m SO GLAD that I did。 It reads like a fiction thriller, but all of it is true! For doubters, everything in the book was so publicized during the actual events it would be easy to fact check any claim or event。 I can’t imagine what it was like for Bill Browder and his family for so many years。 There will never be enough people in the world with the courage that he, and those that experienced all this and continue to fight, possesses。

This stunning book, received from Goodreads, should be in everyone's hands。 It reads like a work of fiction but is terrifyingly true。 Browder is brave beyond belief to expose this massive corruption and evil。 This stunning book, received from Goodreads, should be in everyone's hands。 It reads like a work of fiction but is terrifyingly true。 Browder is brave beyond belief to expose this massive corruption and evil。 。。。more

Can’t make this shit up。 A timely pageturner that not only highlights the terrifying lengths that Putin will go to to protect his kleptocracy but also shows the susceptibility of American politicians to his propaganda。 Unputdownable。I think it’s helpful, but not necessary, to have read Browder’s prior book, Red Notice。 But it does mean that the first section of this book will feel a bit repetitive。

Freezing Order by Bill Browder I knew who Mr。 Browder is but I have not read his previous book Red Notice。 This book I believe is a continuation of the process to get passage by the US as well as Europe for the Magnitsky Act。 This bill named in honor of Sergei Magnitsky who worked with Mr。 Browder in Moscow and was killed in prison by the FSB。 The bill would allow the US Government to freeze assets and prevent their entering the US belonging to people involved in crimes against humanity anywhere Freezing Order by Bill Browder I knew who Mr。 Browder is but I have not read his previous book Red Notice。 This book I believe is a continuation of the process to get passage by the US as well as Europe for the Magnitsky Act。 This bill named in honor of Sergei Magnitsky who worked with Mr。 Browder in Moscow and was killed in prison by the FSB。 The bill would allow the US Government to freeze assets and prevent their entering the US belonging to people involved in crimes against humanity anywhere in the world。 The primary focus has been on oligarchs from Russia。 The Bill was passed in the US in 2012 and I believe by the EU in 2020。 It has not been easy and Mr。 Browder a British citizen has been threatened and convicted in Russia on multiple occasions without defending himself。 He is a hero。 But the real villains are not V。 Putin and other autocrats around the world but good old American citizens willing to do the bidding of Putin for money。 This book outlines some of these despicable characters as well as the actions of Mr。 Trump, his children and followers。 These people included lawyers one of whom has a name you can-not make up John Moscow to attempt to defend Russian oligarchs stealing of Russian Tax money and prevent the information to be placed into the record in a US court proceeding。 The second was during the Putin, Trump press conference in Helsinki。 This occurred after The Mueller report indicted 12 Russians for hacking into the Democrats server。 Putin suggested he would be happy to have the US FBI interview these twelve in the US would send twelve people wanted by the Russians for questioning。 These include Mr。 Browder and former US Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul。 Mr。 Trump thought this was a great idea! It took well over a week for Mr。 Trump to be talked out of this idea。 This is a very good book to read unfortunately it will most likely not be read by those in the Fox Universe who should read about the collusion between money, Trump and Putin。 。。。more
