Society & Culture
On Edgetalkers, we're trying to reach out to a diverse group of people and find out what it's like to be them. Dimitry Vishnevetsky himself presents a variety of stories--from Russian-born immigrant to wildly-successful entrepreneur and financial wizard, Dimitry tells his story here, of riches, the difficulties and opportunities of being an immigrant in America and a tragic detour through the United States federal prison system. Now bootstrapping a media company, "The Vish" is also a change agent for prison reform, based on his first-hand witnessing of the inequity of the system.
