I'm sure people in Putin's inner circle feel as safe as those in Kim Jong Un's right now.

Wonder if this is the beginning of a trend. Sooner or later, Putin is going to come up against someone with enough money and power who doesn't take well to being "suicided" and they are going to push back.

I honestly don't see him coming out of any of this well. I think his days are numbered.

Second one to die that that is the same town?

I keep seeing this tweet



No one's going to write the headline so I will:
"How will freezing Putin's money affect Republican's chances in the midterms?"

Harder for Trump to get bailed out too.

Gazprom Executive Dies
Oct. 17, 2010

A deputy head of Gazprom’s finance department, Sergei Klyuka, was found dead in his car in Moscow late Saturday, RIA-Novosti reported, citing an unidentified law enforcement official.

Klyuka died from a single gunshot wound to the head, which may have been suicide, the official said.
