1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Something strange is going on. Who is killing Russian billionaires?

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: Another Russian oligarch has been found dead. Reports suggests that

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: he hanged himself, fell out of.

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: A window, slashed his wrists, was poisoned, murdered his whole family.

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 2: Last year, more than a dozen Russian oligarchs died in

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 2: the space of nine months. Many of the debts are

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: suspicious with links to the Kremlin. This is sad Oligach,

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: an investigation into these recently dead Russian billionaires. It's created

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 2: by me Jake Hanrahan and my colleague Sergey Slipchenkov. Sad

10
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 2: Oligarch is a H eleven production for Kulso Media and iHeartRadio.

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 2: This case concerned someone a bit different. He died in Washington.

12
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: He was anti Poutine, he had connections to both US

13
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: political parties, and he's actually not e and Russian. He is, however,

14
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: dead and the circumstances around his death are really strange.

15
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: On August fourteenth, twenty twenty two, Latvian born Dan Rappaport,

16
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 2: fifty two, was in his luxury apartment in Washington, DC.

17
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: He lived in the city's West End, an upmarket area

18
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: with the finest restaurants hotels and condos.

19
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: Naturally, Rappaport was rich.

20
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: He made his money in a number of different ways,

21
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: including financial investments in which he oversaw large international projects

22
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: concerning US Russian oil cooperation. That evening, police in DC

23
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: got an alert on their patrol car radio.

24
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: There's been a jumper in the West End.

25
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 2: As they pulled up to the scene, a man was

26
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: found lying in a heap on the floor. He'd fallen

27
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: out of the window of his fancy apartment, plummeting nine

28
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: stories onto the pavement.

29
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: It was Dan Rappaport, of what was left.

30
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: Of him, He'd fallen around ninety feet to the concrete.

31
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: That's a serious fall. Around ninety nine percent of people

32
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: who fall that distance don't survive. Dan Rappaport was no exception.

33
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: He was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital and

34
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: his pockets was two six hundred and ten dollars in cash,

35
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: a broken phone, and the lanyard with a key attached.

36
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: An autopsy report released in November twenty twenty two stated

37
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: that Rappaport died from multiple blunt force trauma injuries as

38
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: a result of the fall. However, his cause of death

39
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: was ruled as undetermined. His wife said he showed no

40
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: signs of depression and doesn't believe it was a suicide.

41
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: They'd made plans for the following day and Rappaport had

42
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: several business meetings scheduled. Police closed the case, but they

43
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: said they're open to further investigate if any tips come

44
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: in or further evidence appears. So, who was done, Rappaport

45
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: and why would you have any connection to the dead

46
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: Russians mentioned throughout this series. Let's start with the Soho

47
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 2: Rooms Rappaport nightclub. The Soho Rooms was a high end

48
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: nightclub in Moscow. It was opened by Rappaport in two

49
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: thousand and seven. Within a few years of its launch,

50
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: the club became somewhat of a mecca for Russia's rich,

51
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: cosmopolitan party scene. Situated in a trendy building that's a

52
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: mix of Art Deco and Soviet brutalism, the Soho Rooms

53
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: was the place to be if you wanted to flow

54
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: in your money and indulge in expensive taste. Reserving a

55
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: single table cost one hundred thousand rubles, which is over

56
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: one thousand US dollars. That's the average monthly wage for

57
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: your everyday Muscovite. International musicians performed regularly the Soho Rooms,

58
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: including Johnny Depp and his awful band Hollywood Vampires. It

59
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: became the go to club for it girls, politicians, and businessmen.

60
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: If you like fine dining, strong drugs, and expensive liquor,

61
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: the Soho Rooms was the place to be. It became

62
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: synonymous with Russia's party elite. It was very well known.

63
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: If you weren't there on Friday or Saturday night, he

64
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: didn't matter. Rappaport himself was by no means a silent

65
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 2: partner in all of this. He loved the nightlife, the

66
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 2: seeing the money. By all accounts, he basked in the

67
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: glory of running a club for the elite. According to

68
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 2: a Russian journalist familiar with the culture of the Soho Rooms,

69
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: Rappaport knew everyone that mattered, and everyone that mattered knew him.

70
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: It was a legend in Russia's party scene. The Soho

71
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 2: Rooms expanded with franchises across Russia and won in Dubai. Naturally,

72
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 2: the club turned over big profits. Rappaport lived a lavish

73
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: lifestyle and apparently he owned several million dollar apartments around Moscow.

74
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: Clearly life was good, or at least it was until

75
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: Rappaport had to flee Russia due to his anti pootin activity. However,

76
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: how serious him fleeing was at the time is up

77
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: for debate, as Rappaport allegedly returned to Russia several times

78
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 2: after being apparently forced to leave. He continued to build

79
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: what was considered a cult following amongst the party scene

80
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: until the Soho rooms was closed down in twenty eighteen.

81
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 2: At this time, the Russian ruble was at one of

82
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 2: its highest values. Rappaport was making a killing four years later,

83
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: though he'd wind up dead on a DC pavement. Nightclubs

84
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: is not how Dan Rappaport first got rich stock. He

85
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: got his start in economics, as Me and Surgery discussed.

86
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 3: He grew up in the US and he got his

87
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 3: really from Houston, Texas. From there he went into an

88
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 3: investing firm, Fibro. They focused like raw materials, so any

89
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 3: kind of oil, just mining things like that. I think

90
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 3: he graduated somewhere in the early nineties and he started

91
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 3: working at Fibro and they were working on a project

92
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: in Russia, one of the first like oil extraction projects.

93
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 3: The company basically got three stakes in three different oil

94
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 3: fields and they were trying to develop those.

95
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 4: They were one of the.

96
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: First companies to go in and they were one of

97
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 3: the first companies to actually set up shop like they

98
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 3: were I think by nineteen ninety one nineteen eighty two,

99
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 3: they were already pumping oil and selling it.

100
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 2: And so a familiar pattern emerges. This is yet another

101
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 2: wealthy businessman with heavy ties to the Russian oil and

102
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: gas industry who's died in mysterious circumstances. This guy even

103
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: fell out of a window. When Rappaport first entered this

104
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 2: industry in the nineties, big money was made immediately, and

105
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 2: the Russian government quickly stepped in to increase their cut.

106
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 3: I think it was around twenty k years dr day.

107
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 3: It did slow down. That project kind of fizzled out.

108
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 3: It was kind of killed off by the Russian government

109
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 3: because they were they were really getting a hang out

110
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 3: of the whole capitalism thing, and they were putting a

111
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 3: bunch of taxes on from what it seems like everything

112
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 3: you know, on the transport of oil, on companies operating

113
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 3: in it, then forcing them to pay and extremely devalued ruble,

114
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 3: which kind of just I guess, kind of killed that obviously,

115
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 3: other companies to cover and you know, now oil is massive,

116
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: but at that time, like that project called White Knights

117
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 3: didn't exactly work out.

118
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: The White Knights project was the first joint Russian American

119
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 2: operation designed to open up more oil fields across Siberia.

120
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: White Knights was actually conceived before the collapse of the

121
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: Soviet Union, when the UA SSR was opening up to

122
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 2: foreign investment in the late eighties. As Sergey said, White

123
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: Knights began turning over twenty thousand dollars a day within

124
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: just a few months of its launch. By nineteen ninety two,

125
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: though the project collapsed. Rappaports stayed in Russia after White

126
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 2: Knights ended. He had experience in both the USSR and

127
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: the US, having grown up in Soviet Latvia but also

128
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: getting educated in America, a very useful set of credentials

129
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: in the banditry period of post Soviet Russia.

130
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 4: From then on he stayed in Russia.

131
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 3: And you know, being from a Russian family, they escaped

132
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 3: from Latvia like Ussar Latvia to the US.

133
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 4: He's like a US citizen. He can be the middleman.

134
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: You know, he speaks Russian, of course, and he became

135
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 3: this middleman for investors and the New Russia. That's kind

136
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 3: of you know how they say selling out, They're kind

137
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 3: of everything that was once government owned is now going

138
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 3: to private owners. And he was this middleman looking for

139
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 3: American European investors, helping them make these deals of purchasing

140
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 3: these massive facilities, anything that can be sold, basically that

141
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 3: was being sold any industry that the USSR had. He

142
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: was kind of making those deals.

143
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: After this, Rappaport went on to work at an investment

144
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 2: firm Center Invest, essentially doing the same things he'd been

145
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: doing before, working as a fixer or a middleman for

146
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: Western companies looking to capitalize on the collapse of the

147
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: Soviet Union. Bleed it dry, ignore the people profit. By

148
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 2: the two thousands, Rappaport was the manager at sent To Invest,

149
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: with offices in both Moscow and New York. Over the decade,

150
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: he went from wealthy to very wealthy. This is when

151
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: Rappaport made the bulk of his money, enabling him to

152
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 2: invest in more exciting ventures like the Soho rooms in Moscow.

153
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 2: Rappaport opened that in two thousand and seven, but then

154
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 2: the following year he hit a roadblock. The US government

155
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 2: puts sanctions on him.

156
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 3: It seems like the charges were a securities fraud and

157
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 3: even though he you know, is sanctioned, he was kind of.

158
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 4: In trouble with the US government.

159
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 3: Five years later, all the charges were dropped and he

160
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 3: returned to the US.

161
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: So Dan Rappaport was accused and charged with securities fraud.

162
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: But what is that.

163
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: Well, basically, it's high tier white collar lying. It's also

164
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 2: referred to as stock fraud or investment fraud, and it's

165
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: a serious crime. Basically, it involves misrepresenting a deal by

166
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: either omitting certain details or just outright lying to urge

167
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 2: investors to make decisions. Stockbrokers, brokerage corporations, and investment banks

168
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 2: are often involved in securities fraud in some way, most

169
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 2: of them get away with it. That Rapperport's charges were

170
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: dropped after five years doesn't mean much in my opinion

171
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 2: either way. He made his money capitalizing on the downfall

172
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: of post Soviet Russia, skipping back and forth between New

173
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 2: York and Moscow as your average Russian near staffed pretty

174
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 2: much standard Oligach behavior.

175
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 3: It seems like he has businesses all over Russia and

176
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 3: like spread throughout the world. But there's nothing like one

177
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 3: big business. That's kind of like pointed out, he just

178
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 3: had multiple incomes from different things.

179
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: Whilst we've seen Rappaports sometimes painted as a separate entity

180
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 2: to the other oligachs we've looked into, probably because of

181
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: his open anti Putinism, he very much came up in

182
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 2: the same scene of the post Soviet free for all

183
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: as they did.

184
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 3: That would be the majority of his money from that

185
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 3: ten year period, consulting and kind of directing investors into

186
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 3: Russia and then the stock management. He was pretty much

187
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 3: a fixer. He's I guess, like you know, he spoke Russian.

188
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 3: He he got kind of an inn with the White

189
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 3: Knights project. I'm assuming he built connections, kind of figured

190
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 3: out how things work, and then he went from there

191
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 3: and started, yeah, like being a fixer kind of finding

192
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 3: Like somebody wants to sell something, He's like, okay, cool,

193
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 3: I'll go find you know, a rich American, a rich

194
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 3: European to come and buy it out.

195
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 2: What was the story is spun that Rappaport had to

196
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 2: flee Russia due to anti pootin activity. He first left

197
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: because he owed the Russian government tax and they charged

198
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: him for not paying it. It wasn't even that much money,

199
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 2: not for him anyway. It was around forty thousand US dollars.

200
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: But for whatever reasons he was charged, he left the country.

201
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 3: It's pretty well documented that, first of all, in the

202
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 3: nineties it was very like shady dealings anything that was

203
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: being sold off. You know, we've covered previously how everything

204
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 3: was being privatized and people kind of used different, maybe legal,

205
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 3: but kind of underhanded ways of getting wealthy. I mean,

206
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: some things are anecdotal, somethings are recorded where you know,

207
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 3: a lot of crime organizations were in charge. And my

208
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 3: guess would be as if he was doing any kind

209
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 3: of like consulting that we talked about as finding businesses

210
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 3: to sell to rich investors, I would assume he had

211
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: to deal with the government and with people who were

212
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 3: in this organized crime kind of figuring out who to

213
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 3: talk to, who's selling, and where to find you know.

214
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 3: So I'm guessing he was involved in this. I just

215
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 3: think you can't avoid it. At that time period, it

216
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 3: just so involved, you know, the government is kind of

217
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 3: especially I mean maybe not at the time, it wasn't

218
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 3: as involved with everything, but it all kind of led

219
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 3: to the government taking over and they were still in charge,

220
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 3: so like he absolutely had to be involved with the

221
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 3: States too, for Saul work on oil and then from

222
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 3: them to you know, sell off essentially state industry, like

223
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 3: he'd have to be at least to some degree.

224
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: It's clear that at one point Rappaport was cozied up

225
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 2: to the Russian government enough to at least do business

226
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: with them back and forth between the US, which would

227
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 2: make both parties a lot of money. At some point

228
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: he hit a snagdough, as we mentioned, with the tax problems.

229
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: Before this, Rappaport had several companies in Russia, though his

230
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 2: fingers were in many different pies. He was a human piroshki.

231
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: He owned the Russian company selling and trading raw materials

232
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: such as precious metals. He owned the Russian real estate company.

233
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 2: He owned the Russian catering business. He was into all

234
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 2: sorts until the Russian government shut him down citing various

235
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: legal violations. They then took control of all his companies

236
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 2: and liquidated them. The money was theirs. To suspect that

237
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 2: this is what made Rappaport anti Putin as opposed to

238
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 2: any specific humanitarian issues, but that's just a personal hunch.

239
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: Sergio andmy tried to find more specific information on Rappaport's

240
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: anti Putin activity, but there wasn't actually that much, not

241
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: from the time when it apparently happened.

242
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 3: I tried to look back at like more like articles

243
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 3: at the time, you know, kind of what was going

244
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 3: on at that time, instead of him saying recently, like

245
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 3: in the last year, that he was a huge anti

246
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 3: Putine critic.

247
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 4: I couldn't find too much.

248
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess the biggest thing is that he

249
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 3: was working with Navalney, not the Valny, but like the

250
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 3: opposition and then eventually Navalny, and that kind of that's

251
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 3: pointed as the biggest like he was anti Putin, he

252
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 3: was working with like the opposition, But I can't exactly

253
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 3: find that he was such a huge, like outspoken person

254
00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 3: against Russia or Putin again until until he went back

255
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 3: to the US.

256
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 4: Then he was more kind of active, I guess in that.

257
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 3: But at the time that he left, you know, the

258
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 3: government was saying that it's because of the taxes. He

259
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 3: claimed there was because he was being threatened for supporting

260
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 3: the opposition. I mean, you can see both sides, like

261
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 3: maybe he doesn't want to admit to you know, wrongdoing

262
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 3: in terms of taxes, and the government doesn't want people

263
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 3: to think that it's because they're, you know, threatening someone.

264
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: But that said, it is actually a tried and tested

265
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 2: method of Putin to create wrongdoing around political opponents in

266
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: a bid to crush any opposition. I think it's likely

267
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: this happened to Rappaport. Sure he did all the Kremlin

268
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: tax but to a multimillionaire the equivalent of forty thousand

269
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: dollars is hardly something he couldn't resolve. Maybe it's a

270
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: case of two birds one stone. Rappaport is rich and influential,

271
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 2: with strong ties to the US, and he's helping the

272
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 2: Russian opposition parties. So let's get rid of him and

273
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 2: just say it was because of this loose end of

274
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 2: oad taxes. Let's not look too crazy, not yet anyway. Now,

275
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: I'm not saying Rappaport didn't genuinely want a new Russia

276
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 2: one without the iron fist of Putin and his squad,

277
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 2: but he did also make a lot of money under

278
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 2: it until the heat got too close.

279
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 3: He was more than happy to work and Russia Putting

280
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 3: was ready in power for at least a decade at

281
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 3: that point. He was more than happy to be there

282
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 3: throughout everything, you know, when they were kind of when

283
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 3: all these aligars were making their money in the nineties,

284
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 3: it wasn't through the most I don't know, not in

285
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 3: the most honorable ways, not the most not the cleanest way,

286
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 3: you know, So like he knew what he was doing.

287
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 3: I think he was more than happy to profit while

288
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 3: you know, while he was making money, while he wasn't

289
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 3: kind of threatening anyway. I think it's like, I think

290
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 3: maybe he definitely supported the opposition, you know, but I

291
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 3: highly doubt he would have risked his wealth and his

292
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 3: happy life for like to create a putting kind of thing.

293
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 3: I think maybe he truly, you know, he did support

294
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 3: like the opposition and stuff. But at the minute the

295
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: US raised their sanctions from two thousand and eight, he

296
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 3: was gone. He was back in the US, back in

297
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 3: the US. Rappaport continued his pursuit of political influence. In

298
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 3: twenty twelve, just as his US sanctions evaporated, Dan Rappaport

299
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 3: began working with Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was running

300
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 3: against Obama. Rapperport was an advisor, specifically working on parts

301
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 3: of the campaign that focused on putting more US political

302
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 3: pressure on Putin and Russia. Romney lost Obama one, and

303
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 3: then fast forward to twenty sixteen, Donald Trump.

304
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: Arrived Gidbriyan jail. What was There are.

305
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 2: Various nonsense conspiracy theories about Trump being a literal Russian agent.

306
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 2: It's no secret that he often spoke fondly of Putin.

307
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 2: Trump complimented Putin dozens of times before and after he

308
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 2: was elected president in twenty sixteen. Who was particularly excited

309
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 2: that Putin had said he was great and smart, going

310
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 2: on about it several times.

311
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: It got weird.

312
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 2: It was like a child impressed that the teacher complimented

313
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 2: its drawing.

314
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 5: I think when it calls me brilliant, I'll take the compliment, Okay.

315
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 2: Then it got really dark. After Putin launched the Russian

316
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 2: invasion of Ukraine in twenty twenty two, which has so

317
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: far led to the deaths of ten thousand civilians, including

318
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 2: over five hundred children. Trump said Putin was a genius

319
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 2: for doing this.

320
00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 5: I said, this is genius. Putin declares a big portion

321
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 5: of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent. Oh that's wonderful.

322
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 5: So Putin is now saying it's independent a large section

323
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 5: of Ukraine. I said, how smart is that? And he's

324
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 5: going to go in and be a peacekeeper. That's the

325
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 5: strongest peace force we could use that on our southern border.

326
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 5: That's the strongest peace force I've ever seen. There were

327
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 5: more army tanks that I've ever seen. They going to

328
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 5: keep peace? All right?

329
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 2: But what does this all have to do with Dan Rappaport,

330
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 2: the now dead American Russian citizen businessman who made his

331
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 2: fortune jumping back and forth between New York and Moscow. Well,

332
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 2: as you can probably guess, Rappaport was not a fan

333
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 2: of Trump. With all the Putin PDA, Rappaport came out

334
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 2: in criticism of Trump and his presidency. He didn't like

335
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: that Trump was friendly with Putin, and he made that

336
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 2: very clear publicly. Around this time, in twenty seventeen, Rappaport

337
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 2: was living very nicely with his then wife. He owned

338
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 2: a six bedroom mansion in Washington, DC. And guess who

339
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 2: his neighbors happened to be? The Obamas. Yeah, Rappaport lived

340
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 2: next door to the Obama family, or released as close

341
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 2: as you can get to next door in such an area.

342
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 2: The Obama house was eighty two hundred square foot. You're

343
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 2: hardly sharing a war. Like Russian politicians, American politicians make

344
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: themselves filthy rich throughout their careers. Take US Representative Nancy Pelosi,

345
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: for example.

346
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 5: Let us remember what President Reagan said, don't bother me

347
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 5: with a question like that.

348
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 2: She's worth an estimated one hundred and fourteen million dollars.

349
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 3: When is this?

350
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 5: When is this?

351
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 2: Strangely enough, her husband, Paul Pelosi, has made several lucrative

352
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: stock trades that coincide with the US government legislation in

353
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 2: the technology sector, coincidentally, a sector Rappaport had a business in.

354
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 2: Nancy says, all the lucky stocks of her husband is

355
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 2: all just a coincidence. It's nothing to do with her.

356
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 2: It's definitely not insider trading.

357
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 3: Really really, okay.

358
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 2: Politicians are politicians. They used their positions to do business

359
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 2: to benefit themselves. Dan Rappaport knew this better than anyone.

360
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 2: He'd been moving and shaking within the ven diagram of

361
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: international politics and corporate profit for decades. Let's be honest,

362
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 2: this is how we ended up with a six bedroom

363
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 2: mansion in DC. The mansion in question was sold later

364
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen, when Rappaport and his wife got a divorce.

365
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 2: It sold for five point five million dollars and who

366
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 2: was it sold to? The Trump family. Dan Rappaport, an

367
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 2: outspoken critic of Trump and his friendliness towards Putin, sold

368
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 2: his house to Donald Trump's daughter and her husband, Ivanka

369
00:22:56,119 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 2: Trump and Jared Kushner. Whilst this is notable, I don't

370
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 2: think it's that unusual. People working in politics, in my

371
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 2: experience as a journalist, often focused on international affairs at least,

372
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 2: generally will fall down in the wind. That is, once

373
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 2: money and power are involved, all bets are off. In politics,

374
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 2: profits almost always comes above integrity. Now, to be fair

375
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: to Dan Rapperport, he told a journalist at the time

376
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 2: that the sale of the house was actually nothing to

377
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 2: do with him. He said the money was split between

378
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 2: him and his ex wife and she was the one

379
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,719
Speaker 2: selling it personally, though I find out hard to believe.

380
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 2: They also owned a one point five million dollar apartment,

381
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 2: a second three point five million dollar home, and Rappaport's

382
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 2: parents live in a one million dollar Florida beach house.

383
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 2: That Rappaport would just pay no attention to the sale

384
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 2: of his most expensive property seems highly unlikely.

385
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: Anyway.

386
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 2: After the divorce, Dan Rapperport moved to Ukraine. He lived

387
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 2: in a fancy in Kiev. Now remember this was five

388
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 2: years before the full scale invasion. I myself was in

389
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 2: Kiev around this time, as was Sergy. The war was

390
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 2: only in the east of the country then, which was

391
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: very far away from Kiev. Everything was completely normal in

392
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 2: the capitol. It's not unusual that someone might move to Kiev,

393
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,479
Speaker 2: not then, especially if they have a lot of money.

394
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 2: You could live comfortably there on a normal Western wage,

395
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: and if you were rich, you could live like a king. Rapaport, though,

396
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 2: as we know, could live like a king anywhere. He

397
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 2: was worth a fortune. So why are Ukraine well? It

398
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 2: seems this was all part of another business venture. He

399
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 2: set up a residential investment firm, putting money into new

400
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 2: apartments in Kiev. You also got remarried and had a

401
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 2: baby daughter. When Russia invaded Ukraine in February twenty twenty two,

402
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 2: Rappaport's new equally comfortable life was upended. He took his

403
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 2: family and flew back to the US, living once again

404
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 2: in Washingrington, DC, where he'd later die after falling from

405
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 2: the apartment window. Before his death, Rappaport was openly supportive

406
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 2: of Ukraine's resistance to the invasion, and even donated himself

407
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 2: to various Ukraine war efforts, as well as encouraging others

408
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 2: to do so on his social media. So what do

409
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 2: we think actually happened here? This is a tricky one.

410
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 2: There are many potential leads that all end up merging together.

411
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 2: So was Rappaport pushed out of a window by a

412
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 2: political or business rival? Did he jump or did he

413
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: just accidentally fall? Personally me at the start, I was

414
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 2: beginning to think this might be the case where really

415
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 2: a cigar is just a cigar. Okay, Rapperport was involved

416
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 2: in all this politics and business, but maybe he did

417
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 2: just fall. He didn't seem hard enough target to warrant killing. However,

418
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 2: there's a lot more to this case than it first appears.

419
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 2: Even now after all of this, as we know, Dan

420
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 2: Rappaport died from falling out of a window. There are, however,

421
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 2: several unusual details I'm yet to mention as I didn't

422
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 2: want to bias the listener. From the start, Dan Rappaport

423
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 2: owned the Soho Rooms club with a business partner named

424
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 2: Sergei to Kachenko, also known in Russia as Sergei Jeff.

425
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 2: Sergei Jeff died in January twenty seventeen. He died in

426
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 2: Moscow after falling out of the window of his luxury apartment,

427
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 2: the same way his business partner Dan Rappaport would die

428
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 2: just five years later, an incredible coincidence. There were even

429
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 2: more bizarre parts of this case we yet to look into.

430
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 2: Rappaport's dog was allegedly found wandering around in a park

431
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 2: near his apartment after he'd fallen out of the window

432
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 2: and died. Strapped to the dog's collar was a supposed

433
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 2: suicide note and for some reason cash. If that wasn't

434
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 2: weird enough, there's even more. Rappaport is alleged to be

435
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 2: the man behind a pretty popular but fake senior Pentagon

436
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:23,479
Speaker 2: Russian analyst known online as David Duberg. Du Berg was

437
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:28,479
Speaker 2: regularly quoted by the opposition in Russian and Ukrainian media,

438
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 2: and he was cited as a professional analyst, but he

439
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: didn't exist, and Rappaport is not an analyst. I believe

440
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 2: Rappapault was behind a team that were actually the true

441
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: identities of the people writing under the pseudonym David Duberg.

442
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 2: The plot thickens. We'll be looking into all of this

443
00:27:50,359 --> 00:28:06,200
