Browder contacted Sens. [[John McCain]] and [[Ben Cardin]] with a tear-jerker story and a list of powerful Russian oligarchs close to Putin whom Browder accused of stealing his money. When the [[Ukrainian crisis|Crimean annexation]] occurred, McCain used Browder's list to create a "targeted sanctions" list of specific individuals, oligarchs, and businesses whom Browder accused.

The Magnitsky Act blacklists these Russian individuals and entities from doing business with any American individuals or entities until Browder's money is recovered. Among them is a company called Prevezon, a [[Manhattan]] real estate holding company with assets allegedly stolen from Browder.
