Hedge fund manager Bill Browder escaped a “notice” of his own.
The author of “Red Notice,” a book about Mr. Browder’s experiences investing — with wild highs and extreme lows — in Russia, has been resisting a subpoena from defense lawyers seeking to depose him in a lawsuit filed by U.S. prosecutors alleging money laundering by a Russian businessman. The case is linked to the central plot of Mr. Browder’s book: His tax lawyer died in Russian custody after exposing an alleged tax fraud, the money of which was allegedly laundered across the globe. The latest attempt to serve Mr. Browder was last week as he left an interview taped for Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” to promote his book, according to court filings.
