If he is a UK citizen, Deport his ass back to the UK and let them deal with the situation.
I agree if Putin wanted him Dead he would be dead, they prob know his every move
Yup. But everyone likes melodrama and this “controversy” will simmer for months.
Sounds good to me. ;)
All these people give me the creeps. I didn’t believe him when he showed up on FOX several months ago, I don’t believe him now.
I think they are all a bunch of thieves.
Hi.
I heard a rumor that Browder renounced his citizenship, and is now a British subject.
5.56mm
How can Trump turn him over? He’s a British citizen. And he’s awfully public for being so “afraid”.
None is handing anyone over. Putin said we could observe while Russian prosecutors interview Russian citizen. In return they would like to question some Americans, and if it is done the same way, they would merely observe while American investigators interview Americans. Since this guy is British, I’m not sure how he fits into this in any case.
I watched this guy on TV and don’t like him. Maybe let the Russians interview him, turn him over, or throw him in jail. Protecting him beyond making sure his rights are observed would be wrong.
I am basing my comments on reading “Red Notice” by Browder.
He was very opportunistic, stepping in when Russia went Public with its business shares. And he made a LOT.
Russians/Oligarks came after him, and he got his (and investor’s) money out just in time. But his Russian lawyer died in custody.
Russians/Oligarks then took over his companies, which puzzled him because the were worthless by then.
Russians/Oligarks then claimed that those companies had paid too much tax, and got a lot (maybe billions) in ‘tax refunds’, which was essentially stolen from the Russian citizens.
Then he got Obama and Kerry to support the :
The Magnitsky Act, formally known as the Russia and Moldova Jackson–Vanik Repeal and Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act of 2012, is a bipartisan bill passed by the U.S. Congress and signed by President Obama in December 2012, intending to punish Russian officials responsible for the death of Russian tax accountant Sergei Magnitsky in a Moscow prison in 2009.
And Putin responded by prohibiting US adoption of Russian kids.
But ... who do you believe???

Why is he even here in the first place?! He renounced his citizenship to avoid US taxes.
In past years, Browder and Ziff Brothers Investments had given to the Clinton Global Initiative, a project of the Clinton Foundation, but the total was not more than $110,000, records show? In the 2016 election cycle, Ziff Brothers Investments gave $1.7 million. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, nearly two-thirds, or about $1.1 million, went to Democratic committees, and the rest to Republicans.

U.S. hedge funds investing heavily in Greek banks
(Reuters) - Hedge fund billionaire John Paulson’s Paulson & Co and a number of other U.S. hedge funds are investing aggressively into Greece’s struggling banking sector expecting it to turn a corner, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.
The FT said the interest from these funds had prompted big banks in the country to lobby the government to consider speeding up the reprivatization of the sector.
Paulson & Co could not be immediately reached for comment.
John Paulson told the Financial Times that his fund had substantial stakes in Piraeus Bank and Alpha Bank.
“(Both) are now very well capitalized and poised to recover (with) good management,” he was quoted as saying.
The Financial Times citing unnamed sources said that Baupost, Eaglevale (hillary’s son in law’s hedge fund) , Dromeus Capital, Falcon Edge, York Capital and Och-Ziff are among the other funds investing heavily in Greek banks.

.... It probably would be wise to point out that there are many ways to conduct an interview without physically sending somebody to a Russian Gulag for interrogation by torture specialists.
.... Heck .... It could be done by Phone/Video link or even registered couriered responses if they actually wanted ..... Sheeeeesh ...
If he isn’t a U.S. citizen...guess he is at the mercy of the President. ;)
No reason not to.
I am sorry if even here on this forum people DESIRE for treason to be unpunishable by decree from the deepstate but.
En passant.
Too bad.
I'm not being cynical, or looking for conspiracy. It's just an honest observation based on disturbing facts.
Another legacy of the Halfrican———he unleashed on law-abiding Americans every miscreant, misanthrope, neer do well and lowlife out there.
It almost seems that Putin mentioned his name to get the US media (or the curious parts anyway) to start pulling at some new strings - who his connections were, both in and out of Russia.
