APCO Works to Restore Trust in Russia's Robber Baron [1]
Submitted by Sheldon Rampton [2] on
Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a former Communist Youth Leader leader turned Russian billionaire with ties to the Russian mafia, is paying APCO Worldwide to restore investors' trust in his scandal-plagued company, Yukos. His new motto has become "honesty, openness, responsibility" -- quite a turnaround for someone who has trafficked in women [3], laundered money [4] and defrauded minority investors [5]. PR Watch has reported in the past on APCO's work for the tobacco industry [6] and its ideas on how to create front groups [7]. Is there anything these guys won't do?
