- Extended exclusive: Interview with Viktor Bout on Brittney Griner and the prisoner swap
Convicted arms dealer Viktor Bout, who was exchanged for WNBA star Brittney Griner in a dramatic prisoner swap in December sits down with ESPN in his first U.S. media interview since he was released from prison. T.J. Quinn speaks with the man known as the “Merchant of Death” via Zoom at an undisclosed location in Russia. Bout addresses questions about Griner, his conviction in 2011 on felony counts including conspiracy to kill Americans, and how he became part of the highest profile prisoner exchange since the Cold War.

Post trade interview with an arms dealer is wild lmao
Do you have evidence of him being a arms dealer or are you just going to believe racist America and their lies
The only WNBA trade that people care about
Literally LOL.
I almost feel like this is a publicity stunt for the wnba lol
@@BoomhauersdadIf so, it didn't work. The stands were empty at Griner's first game back.
Who are you? No one.
When is 2K gonna update the rosters? He’s still not in the free agency.
Underrated comment
USA got fleeced LMAOOOO
are you surprised? lol
Yahweh is for us.
This is random af
Viktor Bout to go wild
The dude is laughing at the USA right now
Imagine this is the same chick that said USA is a terrible country but there they are saving her 🤦🏻♂️
she is right , they traded her for the merchant of death
The USA being ran by Caucasians is a terrible country this is amerikkka

@@Coincidenceright SHUT UP! I DON'T CARE!!
@@s0meRand0m129 if you don’t care why did you feel the need to comment on this CZcams video
Dang, espn doing VICE news now. The network that employs bullies to cyper bullied zach wilson on tv for 7 weeks straight😂
the music, the tone, the whole general idea behind this video is to make griner look like a victim. she is not a victim in anyway shape or form. she willingly broke the law in a country that has very different laws then we do and takes drugs very seriously. we traded her for an arms dealer literally nicknamed the merchant of death. there is a united states marine that is in the same prison she was held at and he’s been there for 7 years, but since he doesn’t dribble a basketball or have followers on instagram he doesn’t get to go home to his family. that’s the real tragedy. this country in the current state is sad and pathetic under the biden administration. shame on ESPN for posting this video when the actual victim is still in the russian prison.
And why did the Marine get arrested?
@@tw3314 allegedly for violence against a russian police officer. the point is that an American hero is wrongfully in prison while someone with followers and dribbles a basketball(who also hates america) gets to come home.
Waah. Cry me a river.
@@revekat2053 you’re an idiot if you don’t see that as a problem
Great interview 👏🏽
I appreciate this reporting
Worst trade in WNBA history!
So
Y’all were able to get an interview with him.
erybody needs to read the entire ESPN story. Its really good. Long and detailed.
Paul Whelan?
ESPN slowly trying to cross over into the news or social entertainment industry. We seeing things about warlords, Singers, Food and relationships… I wonder what’s next
Getting low on sports stories huh?
So we get the druggie back and let a mass murderer go. Stunning and Brave...smh
The guys a 'mass murderer' in the sense that the CEO of Lockheed-Martin is a 'mass murderer'.
Glad you consider Mary Jane a drug I’m sure you know others who do drugs drugs fr tho and proudly sit and eat with them.
Viktor Bout is not a mass murderer how is he worse than any defense contracter, or George Bush
@@MrCLARK502doesnt matter
@@loonywithoutune nothing wrong with weed
Thumbs up USA....smh
Dumbest trade ever 😂😂😂bro is a villain
ESPN this is wild u nasty for this
I’m glad they they at least didn’t edit it for Victor to say “This WAS a set up.” So there’s that. Also just letting it air period. This softy trying to lead Bout into saying Griner was some kind of victim was typical of ESPN.
Y'all posted this a year ago
Doesn’t Disney own espn?
Seems like a nice guy
Bout had a good answer. He went to prison for words
Was this a good idea to run?? 🤷🏾♂️
Did they mention she broke the laws of the country she was in? Only America is where you come to break the law with no repercussions
What nobody mentions is that he was set to be released in 2029 anyway. It's not like we released someone doing life.
Griner belongs behind bars
Sacrificing justice for the the lives of many people in exchange for a lesbian woman. Our country is going insane
Best trade in the World 😂😂😂😂😂😂 MVP Brit Griner ❤❤❤
Lmaooo
🤔
Putin would NEVER😂😂🤣 US fell off baddd😂
