Regardless of corruption and money laundering activities of Putin Russian goverenment insiders Katsyv and Russian-Israeli Lev Leviev who I'm sure the pro Paul Singer Zionist NY 'Judge' Thomas P. Griesa would like to protect,it would appear that Hermitage Capital hedge fund accusers should be in jail wqith them rather than BOTRH parties running free around the globe defrauding both Americans and Russians for for Zionist mastes in the Cityt of London and Israel.
Barrons editor Alpert who who the piece should himself be quiestionewd over his and Murdoch's corrupt Wall Street Journal-Barrons role ion promoting CIA and Rothschild connectected Agora Inc of founder James Dale Davidson and promoting its criminally insane Porter Stansberry's megalomanic claims of being a business genius rather than just a big time US.and British government connected securities fraudster and penny stock and gold,etc. touter or promoter and money launderere.Barrons' Bill Alpert contacted me personally in 2005 to inquire what I knew about James Dale Davidson and his 'naked short selling' lie-fraud.All along Alpert was without disclosaing on the side of the fraudsters rather than small investor-suckers such as myself who got ripped off by them and saw what they were too late.I was also fooled by Bill Alpert beuinbg sued by an Israseli-Australian stock fraud money launderer named Gutick, who used weird Jewish cult members in his mining stock frauds,at the time and he - Bill Alpert -was a good guy who didn't discriminate re ones' religious or ethnic upbringing or origends.I now believe I was mistaken and he also works in collusion witrh Israelis and 'white jews' of the City of London who have robbed us blind using the U.S.or former U.S.stock markets to do so.
I would post my email correspondence with Barrons Bill Alpert circa 2005 but unfortunately Yahoo! stole my email when it shut my account without notification and probably gave it to CIA,NSA,FBI and Mossad for all I know.

Russian-Israeli Money Laundering,Deaths,In New York,City of London
In a money laundering case that federal prosecutors link to an infamous Russian treasury theft, a Manhattan federal judge last Wednesday said he’d sharply narrow his freeze order on the assets of a well-connected Russian businessman. Attorneys fighting for the Moscow businessman Denis Katsyv in the year-old civil seizure case have won few rounds before U.S. District Judge Thomas P. Griesa, but last week’s order freed up many international assets controlled by the 37-year-old Katsyv, whose father was the longtime boss of the Moscow region transport ministry.
In September 2013, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara alleged that Katsyv’s companies had bought a bunch of luxury Manhattan properties with some of the $230 million looted from Russia’s government in 2007—a particularly brazen instance of that country’s corruption that was uncovered by Sergei Magnitsky as he worked on behalf of the Hermitage Capital hedge funds. After Magnitsky was arrested by the very police he’d accused of assisting the scam, and then died in prison under suspicious circumstances, Hermitage founder Bill Browder campaigned successfully for Western governments to sanction Russia, ushering in an era of tit-for-tat sanctions that now shadow East-West diplomacy (see “Crime and Punishment in Putin’s Russia,” April 18, 2011)......
As if to blunt the argument that they’re reliant on Browder’s research, federal prosecutors presented an amended complaint last week claiming they’d traced the transfer of an additional $1 million from a Moldavian shell company, through a bank in Estonia, to the Zurich accounts of Katsyv’s company Prevezon Holdings. That brings the sum total of allegedly laundered money identified in the case to something shy of $2 million—all of which Katsyv says he thought clean. Prosecutors have told the court they expect to document more money movements, as foreign evidence arrives. The government’s gotten no evidence yet from the Katsyv defendants.
U.S. prosecutors and Browder wouldn’t respond to requests for comment last week.
With last week’s loosening of the freeze order, Katsyv and his businesses now have about $20 million of assets on ice. Subject to the New York case are about $10 million worth of prime Manhattan property and $4 million in the Netherlands that was invested in real estate developed by Russian-Israeli mogul Lev Leviev, whose Africa Israel group also owned the New York residential buildings where Katsyv bought units. Another $7 million is frozen in Geneva bank accounts as part of a Swiss inquiry separate from the U.S. case.
Katsyv and his lawyers say that his international businesses have been hobbled by the false link with the Magnitsky tragedy. The frozen $20 million is real money, even for a family like the Katsyvs—who became remarkably wealthy during the years that Denis Katsyv’s father Peter worked as a public servant. Russian government records show that in the decade when Peter Katsyv was the Moscow region’s vice-governor in charge of transportation, some limousine and leasing businesses controlled by Denis reported aggregate revenues equivalent to $225 million. The 10 customers featured on the companies’ website were all government agencies, including the senior Katsyv’s transport ministry. The Katsyvs say they got their government contracts legitimately.
Katsyv père is now a top executive at Russian Railways, the state enterprise run by Vladimir Putin’s inner circle member Vladimir Yakunin—who himself was blacklisted by the U.S. in March over Russia’s annexation of Crimea from Ukraine. Long before the Katsyv’s names appeared in the New York seizure case, the Katsyv’s business activities were questioned in Russian news stories. The family has always said its businesses were on the up and up. One prominent critic now sits in a Russian prison after his conviction for extorting and defaming the Katsyvs. -Bill Alpert, Barrons editor

Russian whistleblower's death in UK unexplained
LONDON (AP) — British officials are investigating the unexplained death of a Russian businessman, a key witness against Russian officials who allegedly stole $230 million from a London hedge fund in a money laundering scheme.
Alexander Perepilichny's body was discovered Nov. 10 outside his rented house south of London. Police said a second post-mortem on the 44-year-old former milk factory owner would begin Friday after a previous one had proven inconclusive. It could still take months to get the new toxicology results, Surrey Police spokeswoman Nicola Burress said.
The case evokes memories of the 2006 death of former Russian spy-turned-Kremlin critic Alexander Litvinenko, who was poisoned with polonium-210, a rare radioactive isotope that was secretly slipped into his tea at a London hotel. The case took relations between Moscow and London to a post-Cold War low, a relationship that has yet to fully recover.
The latest Russian death is linked to the same money laundering scheme that was being investigated by Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian lawyer hired by the London-based hedge fund Hermitage Capital. Magnitsky died in a Moscow jail in 2009 amid torture claims, and his death has spurred efforts in Europe and the U.S. to punish Russian officials who may have been complicit in human rights abuses........http://online.barrons.com/articles/russias-magnitsky-case-takes-on-new-twists-1415658092
Russia’s Magnitsky Case Takes on New Twists
A U.S. judge narrows the freeze order on businessman Denis Katsyv’s assets.
Will Bill Browder testify?
November 10, 2014
In a money laundering case that federal prosecutors link to an infamous Russian treasury theft, a Manhattan federal judge last Wednesday said he’d sharply narrow his freeze order on the assets of a well-connected Russian businessman. Attorneys fighting for the Moscow businessman Denis Katsyv in the year-old civil seizure case have won few rounds before U.S. District Judge Thomas P. Griesa, but last week’s order freed up many international assets controlled by the 37-year-old Katsyv, whose father was the longtime boss of the Moscow region transport ministry.
In September 2013, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara alleged that Katsyv’s companies had bought a bunch of luxury Manhattan properties with some of the $230 million looted from Russia’s government in 2007—a particularly brazen instance of that country’s corruption that was uncovered by Sergei Magnitsky as he worked on behalf of the Hermitage Capital hedge funds. After Magnitsky was arrested by the very police he’d accused of assisting the scam, and then died in prison under suspicious circumstances, Hermitage founder Bill Browder campaigned successfully for Western governments to sanction Russia, ushering in an era of tit-for-tat sanctions that now shadow East-West diplomacy (see “Crime and Punishment in Putin’s Russia,” April 18, 2011).
Katsyv denies any connection to the treasury theft and says U.S. prosecutors haven’t traced the frozen assets back to that crime. “They can’t prove it,” said Katsyv lawyer John W. Moscow, of BakerHostetler LLP. “This should not be a case.”
To demonstrate the purported dirty provenance of Katsyv’s properties, the government’s 2013 complaint cited the research of Browder and the news reports of journalists—including some by this reporter. Prosecutors say the looted Russian treasury funds disappeared below the surface of a mire of shell companies with accounts at banks in Russia and Eastern Europe, including banks that Russian authorities shuttered for money laundering. Prosecutors allege that money flowed out of those dubious entities to an investment company that Denis Katsyv controls. His lawyers say he had no reason to suspect the provenance of the cash. Prosecutors will have to connect the dots to show that Katsyv’s company derived its money from the Treasury heist, and that Katsyv knew or should have known.
For months, the Katsyv defense team has sought a deposition of Browder, who is a British citizen. A process server surprised the hedge fund manager this past summer in Aspen, where Browder had given a speech and, according to Katsyv’s lawyers, has a vacation residence.
Lawyers for Browder have vigorously contested Katsyv’s attempts to subpoena the money manager’s testimony. At Wednesday’s hearing, Judge Griesa showed impatience with Browder’s elusiveness. A deposition in the seizure case would be the first hostile cross-examination of Browder’s claims since he launched his astonishingly effective crusade against Russian corruption.
”The Government has acknowledged that Browder was the source of its allegations,” said BakerHostetler lawyer Mark Cymrot, another member of Katsyv’s defense team. “However, he is fighting attempts to submit himself to cross-examination to test the truthfulness of those allegations.”
As if to blunt the argument that they’re reliant on Browder’s research, federal prosecutors presented an amended complaint last week claiming they’d traced the transfer of an additional $1 million from a Moldavian shell company, through a bank in Estonia, to the Zurich accounts of Katsyv’s company Prevezon Holdings.
