The United States and our partners around the world have been turning the screws on Russia financially and Russians are doing everything they can to avoid the sanctions. David Rothkopf talks with Jay Newman, a former hedge fund portfolio manager for Elliott Management and novelist whose new book is "Undermoney: A Novel", about the methods they are using to skirt sanctions and what we can do to stop them. Are the sanctions making a difference? Can any economic pressure points work in the long term? Will Russia default on its debt and does it even matter? Don't miss this important conversation.
