Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight for Justice Free Audiobook Download by Bill Browder


Bill Browder is a former investment banker and one of the founders of Hermitage Capital Management. In 2005, he found himself under attack by corrupt Russian officials who, in concert with organized crime, had robbed the country blind and, in some cases, murdered those who got in their way. The first part of the book deals with Browder's fight to stop the murder of Sergei Magnitsky — a lawyer who uncovered one particular tax scam — but also to bring those responsible to justice. To do this, Browder had to go against the established norms of international finance- something that would garner him many enemies.

Bill Browder was a successful fund manager with a promising future when he uncovered evidence of Russian corruption and turned against the regime, becoming one of the most outspoken critics of Vladimir Putin's rule. But in 2005, suddenly, he found himself under threat from his former colleagues who wanted to shut him up for good. His book, Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight for Justice tells the story of how he escaped the death sentence Russia has issued to all traitors and found justice.

Bill Browder was once a successful American financier. After the fall of the Soviet Union, he made his fortune in Russia in a scheme that cheated thousands of people out of billions. The justice system in Russia has its flaws, but it is often too slow and cumbersome to punish offenders. That was the case with Browder's former partner, Sergei Magnitsky, who uncovered a fraud by high-ranking government officials and became Browder's cellmate in a Russian prison. "Red Notice" tells the story of their relationship and their fight to take on corruption in Russia head-on.
