I agree - it's like there's a missing link. Been trying to find his connection to whatever power line, but I end up on dead ends. He and some guy named Sachs are considered pretty much responsible for what happened to Russian economy in the toilet after dissolution of the Soviet Union - this is why Putin hates him.
But I cannot find any connection to a power line with him and I know that no one works in a vacuum. It continues to plague me. If any one can find that connection it will be the holy grail!
