Vladimir Putin is Secretly the Richest Man in the World
Forget Zuckerberg, Bezos or Jenner, Vladimir Putin is Secretly the Richest Man in the World. Born 1972, Sergei Leonidovich Magnitsky was a Russian lawyer and accountant. For much of his career, he worked at Firestone Duncan, a law and audit firm based out of Moscow, where Magnitsky served as a specialist for legal, tax, and accounting needs of foreign ventures doing business in Russia; one of the businesses he represented, was investment advisory firm Hermitage Capital Management.
For Magnitsky’s dutiful service to Hermitage, his employers Firestone Duncan were also implicated and his offices were also raided. Keep in mind, that while information learned as an attorney affords one certain protections under attorney-client privilege, information gained from forensic accounting as an auditor offers no such protection.
In 2008, Magnitsky was arrested on alleged charges of for tax evasion on behalf of one of his clients, Hermitage Capital. What the world soon came to realise was that Magnitsky had uncovered evidence of large-scale theft and corruption sanctioned and carried out by Russian officials.
