A US banking conspiracy to take control of Russia

New York business bankers staged a "financial coup" against Russia in the late 1990s, Martin Armstrong, a world-renowned financial analyst, said in an interview with Sputnik in Germany.

The main goal was to make Russia dependent on US money in the long run, he said.

According to Armstrong, billionaire and Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky played a key role in this process. The analyst also said that the head of the National Bank of New York Republic and the Hermitage Capital fund, Edmond Safra, was the one who financed the entire lace.

If the US government was involved, I'm not quite sure, but the bankers were definitely, and what they were looking for basically, is that they make sure that Yeltsin actually succeeds in stealing $ 7 billion in IMF loans.

Once the transfer was completed, Safra informed the US government and the FBI of Yeltsin's alleged money-laundering activities via the Bank of New York.

"Then the prosecutors immediately went to the Bank of New York and threatened Yeltsin and said," Look, you resign and you put this guy Berezovsky and everything will be fine. "And Yeltsin then realized that everything was arranged. "

According to Armstrong, it was then that he turned to the young Vladimir Putin, who confiscated all the assets of Hermitage Capital in Russia.
