Investopedia explains 'Andrei Shleifer'

Shleifer was born in Russia in 1961. In 1991 he took an advisory role with the Russian government, helping to lead the country's economic reform after the collapse of the Soviet Union. At the same time, Harvard was employed by the U.S. government to advise the Russian government. Shleifer's involvement with both Harvard and the Russian government culminated in a conflict of interest scandal whereby he had to pay fines and lost his honorary title at Harvard, though he retained his tenure.
