He’s a turd. He was a classic criminal 90s oligarch who tried to flip the finger to the government in numerous ways. Putin made him pay taxes and follow their law.
But he’s the darling of London and DC.
Goofball. Putin seized Mikhail Khodorkovsky's wealth (made during the Boris Yeltsin era) to make way for Putin's own new generation of thieving, degenerate, billionaire oligarchs who are 100x more beholden to him for their wealth. Of course Putin gets a 2-5% cut of their action. This is why Putin is worth a few hundred billion dollars. But when you are going to hell this will not help you.
Khodorkovsky spent 10 years in Vlad's prisons, so he has the credibility that you have none of.
