Top Russian scientist dead in mysterious fall at Moscow Aviation Institute

Ok so let’s assume some/all of these not-so-mysterious deaths are because the oligarchs in question were not being good enough little Putinites according to the whims of the head Putin.

Is this merely some sort of retribution - pour encourager les autres?

If so, it does not seem to be working that well.

And once they are dead, what happens to their fortunes? Does whatever they own revert to the state (=Putin’s war chest)? Is this more of a motive?
