This statement belies your complete and utter lack of understanding re the complexity of this issue. Putin had the guy arrested not because he was a corrupt oil baron, but because he was becoming a political threat. His action will likely now throw the struggling RF economy into even deeper chaos. Putin, who I have admired until recently (and for the most part still do), is taking Russia down a dangerous road. Dangerous for us too.
if by political threat you mean that he wanted to make things 'soviet' for the oligarchs again, then yeah. he was trying to step on putin and test the waters for what he could get away with and putin shut his ass down. too bad our president is too big of a pussy to do the same. when i think of Enron, i think WWPD?
