Businessman with connections to the criminal underworld in Russia and Central Asia, including one of Kyrgyzstan’s most notorious crime bosses. Azim (aka Roy Saidazimov, aka Orozakhun Saidazimov) spent nearly seven years in a Soviet prison for multiple crimes, but his conviction was later overturned.

Azim later relocated to the United States, where he was charged with visa fraud for not mentioning his former conviction. Just before the move, he opened an account with Credit Suisse’s investment banking division, which earned him over $567,000 in profits in its first three years.
