Re: Russian Oligarchs

Rich pro-democracy Russians? That is a good one.

They're Putin's friends, they became rich thanks to him, and could afford to pay their way into the City to launder some of it outside of Russia. Hence why the trickle could become a flood.

Rich Russians who lose their friendship to Putin don't stay rich very long if they've not laundered a lot already.
