things really broke down when everybody got poor except for a few people getting rich you had all these mafia groups running around protection rackets and they were shaking down everybody and they tried to shake me down and criminality was so rife we even had criminality where my partners in my own firm went insane and i had to hire a private SWAT team and raid my office like the a team to get rid of them right and and then they they they
But they bribed the police to cause me problems.
And I flew back to New York and went to Madison Avenue, the shop called the Spy Shop.
And I bought all these hidden cameras and I bugged the offices of the Russian police to catch them in the act.
And all this craziness kind of went on.
And Yeltsin was getting sicker and sicker.
He was an alcoholic.
And it was clear with all these people so poor and with Yeltsin and his family so corrupt that Yeltsin wasn't going to win the next presidential election.
And so in 1999, Yeltsin did something crazy and unexpected.
He got on TV to wish everybody a happy new year.
And he said, happy new year.
And by the way, I'm resigning.
And here's your new president, President Putin.
And so he gave the whole country to Putin for a pardon.
And the first thing that Putin did was pardon Yeltsin and allow him to keep all his stuff.
So that was the deal.
And when Putin came to power, it just so happened that the price of oil went through the roof.
And Russia is one of the biggest oil exporters.
So all of a sudden, huge amounts of money started falling on bankrupt Russia.
And all of a sudden, the country was rich.
