his corrupt earnings in Russia.

Curious on what was corrupt about those earnings?
He outfoxed the Oligarks, who resulted in his lawyer’s torture and death, and put a death notice out on him.
I suppose that “corrupt” would’ve been correctly put into quotation marks, but they were defined as corrupt by the relevant authorities (Russian), and I don’t find it difficult to believe that someone who turned nothing into a fortune within a few years and in a place where corruption was the rule of the day, did it in an corrupt way.
