I posted the story a few down but post it again for sure, this happened in DC and the hotel while okay was not what one would expect a “billionaire” and this Leslin guy was, to be going to.
And it took 4 months to get this examiner’s report out. Yes, it’s like an espionage novel.
Ya think?
Yes, I saw your earlier post after I’d posted mine. I searched and didn’t see anything recent, but in the time it took me to run down the Mirror article & get it posted, you beat me to it!
It’d make a good movie, with the ending not yet known! But, who would have the you-know-what to make it or act in it?
I want to say when this happened last November, some reports at least, said a heart attack I think... so this is way different than that.
It always says heart attack, so easy to fake, unlike Polonium poisoning which is very visible.
Read the article, and he was paying 170 pounds a day at the DuPont hotel. While not one of the most luxurious, it is still a very nice hotel in an attractive area. A good place to enjoy life while not being too conspicuous. The RT guy owed a friend of Putin’s a lot of money which he apparently said he was not going to pay. The link below has additional links on others killed by Putin, how he does it, etc.

Bttt
He probably just bumped his head, like a dozen times, before dying.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Lesin Lesin led the Kremlin's efforts to censor Russia's independent television outlets, according to accusations by Senator Roger Wicker (Republican of Mississippi) in 2014.[16] Wicker called on the Justice Department to launch an investigation into Lesin and his immediate family over allegations of corruption and money laundering.[16][18] In a July 29, 2014, letter to then-Attorney General Eric Holder, Wicker wrote Lesin and his immediate family had "acquired multi-million dollar assets" in Europe and the United States "during his tenure as a civil servant," including multiple residences in Los Angeles worth $28 million.[16][18][19] On December 3, 2014, Assistant Attorney General Peter J. Kadzik replied to Senator Wicker's letter by stating the Justice Department's Criminal Division and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have been referred for appropriate disposition of Mikhail Lesin and "similarly situated Russian individuals and companies with assets in the United States that may be in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the Anti-Money Laundering Statutes."
And reading that list of land deals I wonder if it was just non political murder but mafia money laundering stuff?
He died in a pretty fancy Washington DC hotel not in Moscow but no FBI investigation?
Ah, just read the article - he was probably under investigation by the FBI for his land deals. Probably was going to become an informer for the FBI to avoid jail and that sealed his doom. That makes sense then that the Kremlin would target him for turning.
No he didn’t die in a nice DC hotel.
RT isn’t even reporting on it last I checked.
He was already an informer to the FBI, read the bleeping articles.
This is the same guy whose yacht they found in Australia and they didn’t know what would happen to it now, that the owner had died.
Treadmill mishap?
The Mafia is the Government; at least in Russia.
Kay Adams: Do you know how naive you sound, Michael?
Presidents and senators don't have men killed.
Michael: Oh. Who's being naive, Kay?

Once I start laughing I can’t stop.
Did his engine jump out of his car by any chance?
