Who is Sergei Leontiev? To the US asylum system, he\u2019s an exiled Russian banker who was persecuted by the state and forced to flee. To Russia, he\u2019s said to be responsible for massive fraud.  On The Russian Banker, a new series from the Financial Times, reporters Courtney Weaver and Stefania Palma try to uncover the truth, and find a story that tells us about Russia today and how people in the west build stories about who\u2019s good and who\u2019s bad. The Russian Banker is a special series that will run on the Behind the Money podcast starting Aug. 30. Listen to The Russian Banker by subscribing to the Behind the Money podcast here.
