Is this the same guy that Lt Gen Mike Flynn got fired for speaking to him?

Is Putin the world’s real richest man? After 17 years in power, Russian leader has a ‘$200 billion fortune, 58 planes and helicopters and 20 palaces and country retreats’

Yeah, Vlad, one of the world’s richest from a KGB agent is as usual, beyond any suspicion.

This guy has been around since the bad old days of the Soviet Union as their resident lie-spewer in the 80s. I remember calling him “Vitally Jerkin’”.
