Freezing Order

A True Story of Russian Money Laundering, State-Sponsored Murder, and Surviving Vladimir Putin's Wrath

De: Bill Browder

Narrado por: Adam Grupper

Following his explosive #1 New York Times bestseller, Red Notice, Bill Browder returns with another gripping thriller chronicling how he exposed Vladimir Putin's campaign to steal and launder hundreds of billions of dollars from Russia—and how Putin is willing to kill anyone who stands in his way.

When Browder’s young Russian lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was beaten to death in a Moscow jail in 2009, Browder cast aside his business career and made it his life’s mission to pursue justice for Sergei. One of the first steps of that mission was to uncover who had killed Sergei and profited from the $230 million corruption scheme that he had exposed. As Browder and his team tracked the money that flowed out of Russia—through the Baltics and Cyprus and on to Western Europe and the Americas—they discovered that Vladimir Putin himself was one of the beneficiaries of the crime.

After Western law enforcement agencies began freezing the money, Putin retaliated. He and his cronies set honey traps for Browder, hired agents to chase him around the globe, murdered more of Browder’s Russian allies, and enlisted some of the West’s top lawyers and politicians in an attempt to bring Browder down. Putin will stop at nothing to protect his wealth and power. As Freezing Order reveals, Browder’s campaign was a main impetus for Putin’s intervention in the 2016 US presidential election.

At once a financial caper, an international adventure, and a passionate plea for justice, Freezing Order is a stirring morality tale about how one man can take on one of the most dangerous and ruthless villains in the world.

Couldn’t turn it off!

Bill Browder tells the story that includes everything in Red Notice and the aftermath. I commend him on his dedication to put a stop to Russia’s money laundering and to avenge the death of his colleague, Serge. All efforts to silence him were thwarted one way or another. Being a Dad & a husband did not deter him even though his life was on the line. This book is riveting and more than I could have imagined! Cheers to Senator Grassley & The Daily Show for giving Bill the exposure he needed. Great read and now I’m faced with the challenge of finding anything as interesting as this!

Good narrator

The narrator was good and was enjoyable to listen too. The story was interesting even if the author is a little self absorbed at times. “Why doesn’t everyone see exactly it my way and why doesn’t everyone drop what they are doing to help me immediately without question!” became the arch of nearly every chapter. He’s obviously very well off, the countless ski vacations, expensive restaurants, private schools and having access to an endless stream of powerful and well connected people left me out of touch sometimes. But I can’t imagine the bravery it takes to do what he did and continues to do.

Good Read

I applaud Mr. Browder for working to right the wrongs , even with his left-leaning commentaries. I learned a lot about the corruption in Russia...money and greed can bring out the worst in people.
To me, Sergei is a real hero.

Outstanding and amazing!

No limits to the machinations to accuse others of your own misdeeds and what people would do and say for money. Is there no shame?

A Must Read

This is a captivating book! It is interspersed with moments of terror, pride, excitement, and intrigue, as well as outlines the treasonous actions of certain US officials, most incredibly former President Donald Trump. His wide-eyed and juvenile captivation/love affair with Putin is beyond astonishing. His selfish actions should sound a clarion call to all Americans to never allow this sorry individual to ever occupy the Oval Office again.

Omg! This true life story is amazing

I loved it so much I listened to it twice. What a courageous man this Browder is. Congratulations for all you did and do’ a true HERO

A real-life page turner

Read both books for true-crime page turners and insight into very timely geo politics.

Frightening

The realisation that this story is true should send shivers down anybody’s spine about anything coming out of Russia. It’s almost like the prelude that led to Hitler’s war.

Unmasking the Russian Crime Bosses

Fictional tales of espionage, murder, and politics pale in comparison to this TRUE STORY. Bill Browder is a real-life Jack Ryan.

Freezing Orders is a must-listen for anyone who seeks to understand Vladimir Putin and his criminal syndicates that terrorize the Russian people. Their reach into Western governments is a wake up call that we must guard our institutions from their corrupt influence.

Eye Opener

Money laundering, murder, Russian lies are all through this amazing account from Bill Browder. The Madnitsky sanctions laws around the world are keeping a few crooks under control. Bill Browder and his team helped keep these laws in place. And his closing remarks Mr Browder said that the UK is a hotbed of money, money laundering for the world. That’s the next chapter.
