Vladislav Klyushin is Yes, by any measures, a terrible day. The judge in his case has deceived the argument of the lawyers and his appeal about the mercy. She made a difficult sentence: nine years in the United States Federal Prison, on a command to confiscate a fortune, $ 34 million.
But if Klyushin was sad about the ruling, he wouldn't have shown that. The 42 -year -old technology manager from Moscow seems to be optimistic with a smile on his cheeks that may be pinched and politely politely conducted his extradition to the United States in December, the indictment and consideration. His treatment for hacking and charismatic fraud, and his quick belief. Klyushin had a confidence along with the last Russians would take him back, one of his defense lawyers told me. He seems to be sure that his guardians in Kremlin will help him serve his entire sentence.
There are times when that certainty seems to be a rooster. The US Federal Prison System has organized 35 Russian citizens. Certainly not all of them have been traded again. His family and friends were indifferent. However, in less than a year, Klyushin has been proven correctly. On August 1, 2024, he was not disturbed and put on the plane back to Moscow, one of 24 participants in the US-Russia's largest prisoner.
You may have heard something About swap. It is one of the journalists of Wall Evan Gershkovich and alumni Marine Paul Whelan of the United States in the United States and sent back to Russia an assassin assassin with Kremlin and a woman's duo of spies. It was so profound that they did not know they were Russian until they boarded the plane. Within the contemplation of the exchange, Klyushin is considered a caption. It is a mistake, if something easy to understand. And not only because he is the center of one of the cases of insider trading greater than all time.
The escalating conflict between the United States and Russia has been in every way in the past decade. An American is imprisoned Exchange Only two weeks ago; At least 10 more US citizens Still imprisoned in Russia. And now, there is a friendly resident of the Kremlin of the Oval Office, a person who likes to be considered an agreement. One is in the global financial market, with the US and its allies more and more Russian industries from the international economy. However, there are always creative individuals that can find cracks in that wall, and Klyushin certainly seems to be one of them. You do not need to squint too much to see his plan, finally earn $ 93 million as a way to bring capital into Russia, despite global blockade. The competition was also evident on the streets of Moscow, where a secret Kremlin security force took American citizens, those who were charged with not real crimes, and then hung them on transactions for the transactions for Kremlin's killers, spies and colleagues. It is kidnapping, seizing hostages and all are done on the president Vladimir PutinOrders. Normally, Americans are accurately taken for their value as the future asset is exchanged to regain those like that assassin, or this financial crime, Klyushin. He did not top Moscow's commercial list. But Klyushin is closer and more important for Kremlin, more than both sides ready to admit.

Outside In the world, Klyushin had a rag, rich, with a formidable wedding video to prove that. In a movie later, it was obtained by American prosecutors, Klyushin rushed into a country club group; His future bride, Zhannga, sipped pink ginseng on an outdoor bed inviting himself with chiffon and rose; He welcomed her in a white convertible porsche; She is beautiful in a cloak without her back; He is handsome, if a little silly, in the tux and delicate fish; They danced and laughed and stared at the perfect fishing fireworks. I did not know a decent person than my husband, after that, Zh Zhangetta wrote to the judge in his case.
They have three children, adding two klyushin from a previous marriage. By all the accounts, he is a beloved father, different from himself, a man he never met, or his stepfather, who was killed in an umbrella When Klyushin is 14 years old. He emerged from a childhood to build some businesses. First, he is in construction and marketing; After that, he operated an IT company called M13, where the media and Internet monitoring software sold to Russian government agencies. Early customers in 2016 include the Ministry of Defense and the President's office, where Putin's propaganda leader became an important proposal of M13. The company's software has been used to hold tabs over hundreds Telegram Channels for a Kremlin worry about the introduction of the Viking's false or intentional information, according to a local news report.
The increase of Klyushin was rapidly, receiving more than $ 30 million in government contracts for a decade. That made some of their professional colleagues confused. . He supported the art and rebuild the monastery's roof on Moscow's Lubyanka Street, from Russia's headquarters, FSB. A friend later praised Klyushin as an ecological activist of Muslims (for planting some patterns in the yard) and a pet lover of Muslims (the favorite pet of He is a dog). A person with a spacious mind, reading, educated, told his friend and his tennis coach. An M13 employee said a conversation with Klyushin, like receiving a lesson from a guru.
