'Wanted: Dead or Alive': Russian Tycoon Puts $1M Bounty on Putin's Head

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A Russian businessman is offering $1 million to any military officer who apprehends Russian President Vladimir Putin "dead or alive" for committing war crimes in his invasion of Ukraine.

Alex Konanykhin, an entrepreneur and former banker, posted the bounty on social media as Russia enters a full week of military action against the neighboring country. Western governments and companies have responded to the invasion by seeking to economically punish Putin and Russia's ruling elite. The bounty offered by Konanykhin, who is now based in the U.S., places an even more direct target on the Russian leader as backlash over the invasion continues to escalate.

Konanykhin said in a Facebook post Tuesday that he promised to pay the officer or officers the money for arresting "Putin as a war criminal under Russian and international laws."

"As an ethnic Russian and a Russia citizen, I see it as my moral duty to facilitate the denazification of Russia," Konanykhin said in the post. Putin has sought to justify his invasion of Ukraine by saying Russian forces would "denazify" the country, an explanation that has been dismissed by Western powers.

1. Maybe when he's finished in Ukraine he'll help with the denazification of our government.

3. If I were him, I'd raise it to five or so.

Make it attractive enough that people would be falling over themelves to collect.

4. He's not in Putin's inner circle....

but you've got to wonder what those in that circle are thinking. If they depose Putin in the old Russian manner and call off the war, they stand a good chance of getting at least some of their stuff back and can return to some semblance of their kleptocratic ways. Makes you wonder how loyal they really are given they're losing billions supporting him.
