Marroquin goes on to make the inflammatory remark that Sinatra was a “better cocaine dealer than singer,” which could be construed as either an insult to his singing abilities, praise of his cocaine-slinging skills, or both. Marroquin says that an illegal business partnership between an entertainer like Sinatra and a drug baron like his dad isn’t as unlikely as it might seem to outsiders: Marroquin’s reference to “no receipts” makes it clear that he’s not going to back up his claims via documentation, but there is nevertheless a documented corroboration of at least one aspect of his assertion: That Sinatra and Escobar did at least meet for dinner at some point in their lives.

Khodorkovsky gained control of Yukos in the 1990s after perestroika and glasnost. Russia’s move towards privatization of its economy allowed private citizens to run businesses. The attack on Yukos was seen by many as the Kremlin’s efforts to roll back the country’s privatization. Others, including Yukos shareholders, saw Khodorkovsky’s prison sentence and the systematic dismantling of the company to be the Russian government’s way of punishing him for his political ambitions, particularly the way he supported Putin’s liberal opponents, as well as a way for the government to regain control of the oil and gas industry.
