4 minTim recounts the mysterious death of Bravo's Ladies of London figure Scott Young, who allegedly used Russian mob connections to hide $400 million in a divorce before dying after falling from his penthouse, tying it to Boris Berezovsky and London's Russian oligarch scene.
- 53:54Boris Berezovsky was a Russian oligarch and Putin critic who moved to London and hung out with ex-oligarchs.
- 54:14Tim suspects Scott Young got involved with this clique of wealthy, dangerous people.
- 54:41Tim calls Russian oligarchs hard motherfuckers but notes Trump's foreign policy team were incompetent buffoons dealing with them.
- 55:12Paul Manafort was involved with very dirty people and probably has reasons for not flipping beyond integrity.
- 55:44Tim argues the FBI isn't keeping witnesses safe—they could kill Manafort and it would disappear from the news.
- 56:04When Russia killed Litvinenko with polonium, they were sending a message; a car accident could happen to Manafort just as easily.
- 56:28Tim announces he stands with Mother Russia and wants them to stop being brutal to gays so he can be a Stalinist.
- 57:00After the Cold War, the U.S. let Russia collapse economically and allowed a power vacuum where generals sold nuclear warhead fuel on the black market.
