Some of Khodorkovsky's alleged words were:
"Before the 1995 privatization the market value did not exceed half a billion dollars"

Did he, in fact, get a half billion dollars on a bureaucrat's salary? Was he a bureaucrat until buying Yukos stock, and was his alleged government job his only source of capital for making half a billion dollars? And if so, can you show me some reference (or at least a news article) as evidence for that?
