    		Mikhail Khodorkovsky is one.

    "In 2004, Khodorkovsky was the wealthiest man in Russia, and was the 16th wealthiest man in the world, although much of his wealth evaporated because of the collapse in the value of his holding in the Russian petroleum company YUKOS."

    "On May 31, 2005, Khodorkovsky was found guilty of fraud and sentenced to nine years in prison."
