Browder caught between ‘The Rock’ and a hard place
Move over Vladimir Putin. Russia’s public enemy number one Bill Browder has a new adversary: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Browder, once the biggest foreign money manager in Moscow, has been the target of several Russian arrest attempts following his anti-corruption crusade, which was sparked by the murder of his lawyer Sergei Magnitsky. Browder is also determined to get his 2015 memoir Red Notice filmed. Following a bidding war for the rights to Red Notice, where interested parties included George Clooney, Browder went with Oscar-nominated scriptwriter William Nicholson.
