"According to knowledgeable U.S. and European investigators, Soros' circle includes indicted metals and commodity speculator and fugitive Marc Rich of Zug, Switzerland and Tel Aviv; secretive Israeli arms and commodity dealer Shaul Eisenberg, and "Dirty Rafi" Eytan, both linked to the financial side of the Israeli Mossad; and, the family of Jacob Lord Rothschild."

According to Stratfor Igor Zyuzin, mining tycoon, received his wealth from Marc Rich in an inheritance after he was arrested. Yuzhny Kuzbass, Zyuzin's company, bought a controlling stake in the Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant from Glencore In 2001. Putin has threatened to expell or kill Zyuzin a few times, I'm not sure what ever happened to him.
