Dead oligarchs. What are these deaths hiding?

Via Coffee & Covid, May 11, 2022:

"Newsweek reported that Russian oligarchs are suddenly dropping like sprayed bugs after opposing Putin or the war in Ukraine:

— former top manager of Russian energy company Lukoil Alexander Subbotin died under mysterious circumstances over the weekend, according to Russian media, having been found in a shaman’s basement, dead of an apparent heart attack. Subbotin had called for a 'quick end' to the war.

— Sergey Protosenya, a top manager at Russian energy company Novatek, was found hanged in the garden of a rented villa in Spain on April 22. His wife and daughter were found dead in their beds with stab wounds.

— One day earlier, Vladislav Avaev, the former vice president of bank Gazprombank, was found dead in his apartment in Moscow, along with his wife and daughter, in an apparent murder-suicide.

— Gazprom’s Deputy General Director of the Unified Settlement Center (UCC) for Corporate Security, Alexander Tyulyakov was found dead in a cottage near St. Petersburg on February 25.

— On March 24, Vasily Melnikov, who worked for medical firm MedStorm, reportedly died in his apartment with his wife and two sons. Investigators said Melnikov stabbed his family before stabbing himself to death.

It could all be jab adverse effects; that’s what I usually assume these days whenever I hear something bad happened to somebody. Or, Putin has never been timid about removing inconvenient opponents. I would say, either way, the message has been delivered: Oligarchs need to shut up."
