Hosted by CNBC Senior Washington Correspondent Eamon Javers, this is the secret story of a young Russian oligarch who hacked his way to an illicit $93 million fortune...and the FBI team who finally brought him to justice. For generations, insider trading on Wall Street has been a crime of the American rich: the stereotype of corporate executives passing stock tips at country clubs was not far off. But new cyberwarfare techniques, and an aggressive anti-Western Putin regime in Moscow have turned this kind of insider corruption into an attack from the outside on the American economy itself, with profound implications for all of us who have retirement accounts, investments, or work in corporate America.

Eamon Javers examines the life of Vladislav Klyushin, his incredible connections at the top of Russian society, and his deep relationship with Russian intelligence agencies. Listeners will go inside Klyushin’s criminal cyber company, known as M-13, and get a taste of his high-rolling lifestyle, fabulous parties, trips to the soccer World Cup, and helicopter skiing. Javers also details the emerging bromance between Klyushin and his employee Yermakov, a former Russian intelligence officer and hacker who was indicted by the U.S. government for his role in cyber espionage related to the 2016 American presidential election.
