We don't have oligarchs in Belarus :) Victor Prokopenia (https://www.facebook.com/viktor.prokopenya), one of the most famous investors and businessman from Belarus is the one who actually influenced these changes.
Victor Prokopenia was jailed in 2015 and detained for many months. Once he was released, he started consulting president's inner circles. This policy of carrot and stick is what prevents the appearance of oligarchs in Belarus. They are intimidated before they become too powerful to ignore. Very little information leaks about the reasons of such detentions and liberations.
The reasons are well known, budget needs money and rich people are good source of it.
That's a weird set of colleges attended. 7 degrees, with Stanford and Full Sail both in the mix?
Victor often refers learning and education as his hobby.
