The Rats Are Abandoning the Sinking Ship: Russian Oligarchs Are Emptying Their Bank Accounts

When the richest Russians,the oligarchs closest to Putin—start emptying their bank accounts and fleeing abroad, it’s a clear sign that internal panic has set in. In the past six months alone, the Russian elite has moved a staggering $33 bilion out of the country.

Their biggest fear is state confiscation. Since 2022, the Kremlin has seized over $90 billion worth of private companies to keep the regime afloat. As a result, Putin’s inner circle is getting tighter by the day.

Today, the elite are not investing in Russia. Instead, they are rushing to move assets abroad, and many have already quietly secured foreign citizenship When the very people who built their fortunes under Putin realize that their wealth is no longer safe from the state, the game is over. When the rats are fleeing the ship, you know it’s about to sink.
