News: Russia's richest gun down Forbes editor for naming them
http://www.news.com.au/common/story_...,4057,10123995^401,00.html
or http://tinyurl.com/4f229 Special unit to probe 'rich list' murder By Jim Heintz in Moscow July 13, 2004 A HIGH-LEVEL special crimes unit will investigate the killing of the American editor of Forbes magazine's Russian edition, an official said overnight, a sign the government wants to show its determination to solve the slaying. Prosecutor General Vladimir Ustinov has ordered his office's department for the investigation of particularly important cases to conduct the probe into the death of Paul Klebnikov, said Viktor Potapov, an official at the prosecutor general's office. Mr Klebnikov, 41, was gunned down late Friday outside the magazine's Moscow offices in a slaying widely believed to be connected to his work. Forbes started its Russian-language edition in April, and in May attracted wide attention by publishing a list of Russia's wealthiest people - a sensitive topic in a country where many fortunes were made through dubious activities in the corruption-marred years following the Soviet collapse. "It is absolutely obvious that the motive of the tragedy was his professional activity, something he did with the ratings of the richest people in Russia," the Interfax news agency quoted Russian Union of Journalists secretary Igor Yakovenko as saying. "The people who became billionaires in months and who cannot explain where they had gotten this money, either to the world or to law-enforcement agencies, cannot stand such reports," Mr Yakovenko said, according to Interfax. Mr Klebnikov, born in the United States of Russian heritage, also authored a book about Boris Berezovsky, one of the tycoons who got rich in the chaotic and violent period of 1990s post-Soviet capitalism. In the course of writing about Mr Berezovsky, Mr Klebnikov interviewed Khozh-Akhmed Nukhayev, a former deputy prime minister in the Chechen separatist government who was rumoured to have provided criminal help to Mr Berezovsky. Mr Klebnikov last year published a book in Russian based on his interviews with Mr Nukhayev, Conversations With a Barbarian. Some newspapers on Monday suggested that book could have provoked the killing. "Up to the moment the book appeared on the shelves, Nukhayev didn't even suspect it was being prepared," the newspaper Vremya Novostei wrote. Also overnight, the newspaper Kommersant cited Mikhail Fishman, a journalist for the Russian edition of Newsweek who accompanied the mortally wounded Mr Klebnikov to the hospital, as saying that he was told by a doctor that Mr Klebnikov died while the elevator taking him to surgery was stuck. The international media watchdog Reporters Without Borders has said it was "shocked" by the killing and called on the Government to protect journalists. It said that five journalists were killed last year in Russia, and that official investigations have so far failed to uncover why they died. The car from which the shots were fired was found by police on Saturday, Russian news reports said. A US Embassy spokesman said the FBI's attache in Moscow has offered assistance to Russian authorities in investigating the killing, but declined to give details. Mr Klebnikov was able to speak after he was shot but couldn't say anything about what could have been the cause of the attack, according to Alexander Gordeyev, an editor of another magazine who came to Klebnikov's side as he lay outside the building.

Well no shit, what did they think would happen? Only American rich people want everyone knowing how much they're worth. I'll tell you something right now, you'll never see an Israeli Forbes 500 list.

I'm sure the Russian government would love to be able to legitimately cease one of their richest person's assets.
![]() Mind you, if you're really a smart rich person you'd have your money spread out over many off-shore places.. Cheers, Matt

![]() Er...its not that easy as it looks like.
This Forbes stuff and billioners is way higher than just some rich person being nuts about someone disclosing that "WOW his in Mafia!" Suppose someone says You're in the mafia and You got billions, so fucking what? Mass media says all kinds of bullshit all the time about rich people , about mafia, about government, so what? Who cares? No one's getting killed because of that. (well..mostly) Do You think russian mass media doesnt call our billion making dudes mafia? They do every fucking day and everyone is alive. The call Mr. Putin whatever they want and they are all alive. (well....mostly) It's all about different stuff. Suppose You're Forbes , suppose You got friends in lets say company called Shell and lets assume Shell wants to buy lets say PUBLIC (thats important) local company in Africa "Oil Corporation of Republic of Nigeria". So You go and print that "Oil Corporation of Republic of Nigeria" is full of shit , mafia and drug money and all local small investors say "Wow, Forbes is never wrong" and guess what the price goes down, and here Shell is buying it for pennies. That's just a small example. One thing important to understand - there is no such thing as independent media. Especially in finances.

![]() It's no wonder.
There was no private property in Soviet Union. Everything belonged to the government. However once Soviet time was over, the "privatization" started when normal people were making their flats and house their property and business was transferred to be private property as well. So imagine You were a director of a huge oil factory in Soviet Times with an extreme salary of 500$ (no shit) and then in 1 day You had better possibility than anyone else to make the whole factory Yours, and the next day You wake up - You're a billioner. As far as I recall they still think to sue the guy in the Govermnet who actually started that "privatization" process cause it fucked the whole country.
