Remember the Yukos!

Look who's applying for parole: Mikhail Khodorkovsky . Khodorkovsky was once a juiced-in Kremlin guy that was taken to task for biting the hand that fed him. Now he's about halfway through an 8-year stretch and bucking for a little freedom in the face of new and improved trumped-up charges.

I always thought he'd be back some day. Guys that rich are either supremely talented, motivated or lucky. Talent, desire and luck can waiver but they never disappear completely and those guys usually will their way back on to scene once pushed out. If he doesn't die a suspicious death, he'll re-appear as a man about Moscow, I just got a feeling. Whether his re-appearance is hostile or welcomed remains to be seen and he sure has a long way to go, but I suspect 'we'll hear from that kid one day and I don't just mean a postcard'.
