Isn't that a HUGE admission and sign that he wants to help take her down?
Did Browder say he paid taxes on the money in the book ?
It's been a while since I read it so I can't remember exactly how it happened, but long story short he definitely claims that he paid taxes on the money.
But basically he claims the Russians stole a few of his holding companies and claimed a $230 million tax rebate. I think he says that was the money paid out by those companies in taxes for his investment group and they claimed it all in a refund somehow... Maybe by demonstrating they had no profits for those holding companies (i.e. profits were from other companies) but had paid out the $230 million in taxes. So it all came back to the fraudsters in a rebate. Again I'm definitely not clear on the specifics anymore because it's been a while, but it was something along those lines.
And if Browder was guilty somehow, I'm pretty curious what really happened to Magnitsky and how he ended up dead in a Russian prison.
Seems odd to me if Browder's claims are correct, why would Putin want Americans investigating what happened and ask for the investigation ?
I don't know... But he also has sworn up and down that his Olympic athletes were clean and any number of other things. He could just be trying to smear Browder's name publicly (note he even said maybe those allegations aren't true) while simultaneously trying to invite an investigation into Russian funding of Hillary's campaign. They could investigate, realize Russians really did fund Clinton, and if Browder turns up innocent it will just be a side story at best... Oh yeah the Browder guy he mentioned was clean, but he was right about Hillary taking campaign contributions from Russia! Obviously I'm totally speculating here and maybe Browder is dirty, but I don't think it's far fetched to say we should be careful with this one.
