> he is a major figure in it and worth a dig.

agree.

> question is, on what side is he and what are his personal interests in this game.

seems apparent on the surface, but with all things Russian, who really knows?

this is interdasting:

After his release Khodorkovsky acknowledged the support he had received from the Swiss Federal Court which ruled in 2008 against the release of documents to the Russian authorities, that tied him and Yukos, the largest Russian oil company at the time, to prominent banks and financial institutions. The Swiss court argued that handing over the documents would endanger his chance for a fair trial.[99] Khodorkovsky also has personal ties to Switzerland where his wife Inna and two of his children reside. Soon after his step to freedom, he applied for a Swiss visa, which would allow him to travel to most European countries.[100] This visa was approved by Swiss authorities, and Khodorkovsky arrived in Basel, Switzerland, on January 5, 2014. Yukos shareholders were awarded $50 billion in compensation by the Permanent Arbitration Court in The Hague in July 2014, however Khodorkovsky was not a party to the legal action.

Question on Astana:

How much of that buildup was siphoned out of the US Treasury?

>>2116388

So Kodor goes directly from being released from prison to go live in the hometown of the BIS, where his wife & children have been living while he was locked up in Russia. How convenient.

Everything happens around the 2003-2005 timeframe.

Note that Yuganskneftegaz is THE SAME COMPANY Warnig (now CEO of Nord Stream) was involved in financing for Rosneft.

There's the shady Stasi money link between Germany & Russia right there, all centered around oil & gas.

Control of Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s shares in the Russian oil giant Yukos have passed to Jacob Rothschild, 4th Baron Rothschild upon his arrest.

The arrest was followed by a tax investigation into Yukos by the tax authorities, in December 2003, after which in April 2004 Yukos was issued in stages with tax claims for $27 billion, a sum that exceeded its total revenues for 2002 and 2003. At the same time, Yukos' assets were frozen by the government and offers exploring other ways to settle, such as payment in stages or sale of non-core assets, were refused or ignored. In July 2004, its core asset, Yuganskneftegaz - producing 60% of the company's oil and by itself as much oil as Iraq[32] or Libya[42] and variously valued between $14.7 to $22 billion[43] and $30.4 billion[32][44] - was confiscated.

In December 2004, Yuganskneftegaz was sold for $9.35 billion in a closed-room auction of just two bidders (one of which, Gazpromneft, was subject to a US court injunction and did not enter a bid[citation needed]), to an unknown front company called Baikalfinansgrup which had been registered a few days before the auction, and whose bid was financed by state-owned oil company Rosneft.[45] Rosneft acquired Baikalfinansgrup within days of the auction, at which point the tax bill was "slashed". Just over a year later Yuganskneftegaz was formally valued by Rosneft at $56 billion.[42] On February 7, 2006, in response to a question posed by a Spanish journalist, Russian President Vladimir Putin disclosed that Rosneft had used Baikalfinansgrup as a vehicle to acquire Yuganskneftegaz to protect itself against litigation risks.[46] Yukos was bankrupted in 2006 and liquidated in 2007.

yep, they just had their 20th Anniversary celebration. coincidence?

>>2116447

whatever the figure is, seems fair that US taxpayer becomes % owner.

either that or they can pay the note in lump sum with interest.

>>2116474

don't agree with that scenario, but would be tragically ironic considering Kazakhstan is the world's #1 seller of uranium.

>>2116624

No doubt.
