Episode 5 - The Billion Dollar Deal

Episode notes

It's a more complex episode because that's the way that Dark Money Launderers work and introduces, for the first time, direct references to the Magnitsky affair.
It also demonstrates that, if you look carefully enough, all of these payments, entities and schemes are connected.
