Ah yes, Bill Browder, man who made his fortune making investments in Russia in the 1990s. Absolutely the sort of background that merits uncritical extolment in the prestige press. A likelier champion of freedom and justice you will not find.
The Magnitsky act is needed and brave, and would not exist w/o Browder. Can the dude get a little respect for that, at least?
I think we (or more importantly, the press) should at least entertain the possibility that Browder's Yeltsin-era investments and subsequent financial arrangements in Russia were not entirely virtuous and that the Magnitsky Act sanctions are more about greed than concern for human rights.
Even if they're completely non-virtuous, how that can justify stealing from him and attempts to jail him?
