I was watching the Avayev thing a few days ago. Cleaning house?
Hypothesis, mine. When it comes to tracing the money, and reparations, and people looking to escape heavy legal penalties themselves, there’s a risk that his circle of reliable people will become unreliable. Too ready to give testimony. Especially if they’re already outside of Russian borders.

He’s a bloody renegade. A land based pirate. Signs that the writing is really on the wall? If so, that makes me think that now is when he is most dangerous.
