Russian oligarchs are butchering each other in a vicious fight over wealth sparked by Western sanctions crippling the economy, Bill Browder has told MailOnline.
Mr Browder – who ran Russia’s largest foreign investment firm until he fell foul of Putin and is now dubbed his ‘number one enemy’ – believes a spate of ‘suicides’ and suspicious deaths among the country’s elites are ‘all murders’.
Though he did not name names, recent deaths include Ivan Pechorin, 39, director of the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation who ‘fell overboard’ from his yacht in September; Pavel Pchelnikov, 52, a PR manager for the Russian Railways shot dead in his Moscow apartment the same month; and Alexander Tyulakov, 61, a senior Gazprom executive found hanged at his house, also in Moscow.
Sam Bankman-Fried, the embattled CEO of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX, was a massive donor to the Democratic Party. But you wouldn’t know it from the reporting on the big three broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC), who have so far almost completely hidden that salient detail from their audiences.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced Thursday she will not seek reelection as the Democrat House leader.
“This I will continue to do as a member of the House speaking for the people of San Francisco, serving the great state of California, and defending our Constitution, and with great confidence in our caucus, I will not seek reelection to Democratic leadership in the next Congress,” Pelosi stated on the House floor.

A Dutch court has found three men guilty of murder for shooting down a passenger jet over eastern Ukraine in 2014, killing 298 people.
The court found that a Russian-made missile supplied from Russia and fired by an armed group under Russian control brought down flight MH17.
The men – two Russians and one Ukrainian – were found guilty in absentia and sentenced to life in jail. A third Russian was acquitted.
The missile attack was one of the most notorious war crimes in Ukraine before allegations of atrocities there became an almost daily reality.
The Vimy Award. How humbling; what a tremendous honour. With this honour comes the opportunity to accept this award with a speech that acknowledges the spirit of Vimy and shares with you my vision for Canada today and for the future.
Canada — once we were great. We stopped the Americans in 1812, we gave the world Billy Bishop, Alexander Graham Bell and Lucy Maud Montgomery. We isolated insulin, invented the zipper and the snowblower. In World War One we mobilized 620,000 troops. We were victorious at Vimy Ridge. In World War Two we were brave enough to land at Dieppe, and we secured our beach on D-Day. The Devil’s Brigade remains the template for special forces the world over. Our small country boasted the world’s third largest navy at the end of that conflict.
Xi Jinping’s threatening rebuke of Justin Trudeau was a rare and surprising move by the Chinese president, and highlighted the disregard he has for the Canadian prime minister, according to some experts and former diplomats.
“He certainly wouldn’t speak like that to the U.S. president. So it does suggest that Mr. Xi has a degree of disdain for the prime minister and does not see Canada as an important partner,” said Charles Burton, senior fellow with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and a former diplomat to China.
Xi called out Justin for being a spineless hypocrite same as Canadians do.
Two thugs who took part in a “terrifying” group attack on a stranger who they branded a “white b****rd” have been spared jail.
Urfan Amjad, 23, and Fahim Shukat, 20, were part of a group of four men, who smashed a beer bottle on the victim’s head and used the shards to “try to stab him”, while kicking and punching him.

Disgraced tech bro Sam Bankman-Fried has blamed his Harry Potter fan ex-girlfriend for the $32billion collapse of his crypto exchange FTX and claims he was ‘oblivious’ to its impending demise until it was too late.
Bankman-Fried, 30 – who lived and worked with in a 10-person ‘polycule’ in the Bahamas along with his on-off girlfriend where they all dated each other – said in a Twitter direct message interview with Vox that his ex-girlfriend Caroline Ellison’s company Alameda was responsible for gambling and losing his company’s money.
Asked about FTX loaning money to Alameda and whether he thought they had enough collateral to cover losses, he said ‘sometimes life creeps up on you’.
Sam Bankman-Fried tries to explain himself
The fallen crypto CEO on what went wrong, why he did what he did, and what lies he told along the way.
Last night, Sam Bankman-Fried DMed me on Twitter.
That was surprising. I’d spoken to Bankman-Fried via Zoom earlier in the summer when I was working on a profile of him, so I reached out to him via DM on November 13, after news broke that his cryptocurrency exchange had collapsed, with billions in customer deposits apparently gone. I didn’t expect him to respond — typically, people under investigation by both the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice don’t return requests for comment.
Canadians who invested in cannabis companies have lost more than $131 billion, according to data collected by law firm Miller Thomson, which calculated the total losses of 183 publicly traded and licenced cannabis producers.
It’s a staggering number that if broken down per capita would equate to each Canadian citizen losing about $43,000.
Larry Ellis, a lawyer with the firm, points out to CTV National News that he “doesn’t know of many Canadian investors who can afford to lose $40,000 individually.”
I see a potential class action lawsuit as legit operators were forced to close when they could not compete with illegal storefront operations that the gov has not acted against.
Republicans are claiming that President Joe Biden was involved in his son Hunter’s controversial foreign business deals, which allegedly spans 50 different countries, lawmakers said in a press conference on Thursday.
It comes one day after the GOP clinched 218 seats in the House of Representatives, cementing their majority – and investigative powers – in the next Congress.
The president has long denied involvement in and knowledge of his son’s foreign dealings – some of which are being investigated by federal authorities.
Two roommates were inside the home where four University of Idaho students were slaughtered, authorities revealed Wednesday – but the 911 call wasn’t made until hours later.
City of Moscow Police Chief James Fry also said the two roommates were home when police responded to a call of an unconscious person and discovered a gory slaying described as “the worst they’ve ever seen.”
The latest revelation came during a press conference held by police and school officials where Fry also backtracked about how concerned the community should be about an ongoing threat after authorities originally said the public was not in danger following the quadruple homicide.
Not exactly inspiring police work. This has gone from “crime of passion” & no further community danger to 2 roommates were home but only called 911 hours after the fact and be on the lookout for a Kabar knife.
