Khodorkovsky follow-up
i've been waiting... the shoe has finally dropped for mikhail...
Judges Monday found Russian oil magnate Mikhail Khodorkovsky guilty of four charges in his fraud trial at the end of a 22-month case in which his YUKOS oil firm has been torn apart. [...] Judges still had to announce their verdicts on three remaining charges. Sentence was due to be passed later. The 11-month trial has scared investors and soured President Vladimir Putin's image abroad.
yeah, it'll be interesting to see how much weeping and gnashing of teeth there's gonna be outta the financial community... never mind that mikhail's one of all-time greats in the robber-baron, oligarch dept... the focus will all be on putin and how he's turning back the clock in russia... while that may well be true, it'd be nice to see mikhail get some press on how he's robbed his countrymen while taking advantage of the chaos of the economic transition to the new state religion, capitalism...
