For those who have been following the Yukos story, it looks like Khodorkovsky's travails may have been because he decided to sell to a US firm:

K + K = 5 percent, or Henry Kissinger to the rescue of Mikhail Khodorkovsky

(extract)

Besides, Putin is just a little curious himself to see how badly the U.S. government wants to save the necks and fortunes of New Russians like Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Never before has an American of Kissinger’s rank wiped his shoes on the Kremlin doormat as the paid agent of a Russian businessman. So Putin can afford himself the pleasure of observing how the legendary warmaker in Vietnam and peacemaker in the Middle East — maybe I’ve got the war and peace back-to-front — lays out the pitch for Khodorkovsky, Kissinger’s current paymaster.
