Talk:Michael Calvey

Putin crony
The article got totally whitewashed concerning a power struggle with a Putin oligarch. Now restored from the lead section:
 * Michael Calvey and five colleagues were arrested in Russia in February 2019, for allegedly defrauding Russian businessman Artem Avetisyan, who is an associate of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Calvey maintains the charges are baseless, supported by a BBC investigation, and the real reason for the arrest was because Calvey was suing Avetisyan in a separate business dispute in London, and winning, so Avetisyan used his connections with Putin and the FSB to have Calvey arrested on trumped up charges.

After the massive international outcry of support for Calvey, they had choice but to back down, and the Putin-controlled court made a "face saving" slap on the hand because in fact Calvey was not guilty of anything. This stuff about an "options call" is convoluted, minor and ridiculous. -- Green  C  18:08, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Beginning sounded like an advertisement
I moved much of the content to the body of the article. bob (talk) 00:47, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
