The Konanykhine case: businessman Alexander Konanykhine blew the whistle on the corrupt, KGB-sponsored figures plundering Russia. That's why both Moscow and Washington want him dead.(Convergence)
Alexander Konanykhine is a highly successful 37-year-old Russian expatriate entrepreneur. The U.S. government has accused him--on the basis of dubious evidence provided by Russian investigators--of being an embezzler, a bigamist and a draft dodger. Konanykhine's background is somewhat murky, perhaps even troubling, but this much is certain: He is a man who blew the whistle on the KGB's continuing strangle-hold on Russia, particularly its banking industry. For this, the government of KGB veteran Vladimir Putin wants Konanykhine dead--and our Department of Homeland Security has done its best to give Moscow a helping hand.
