US sails away in seized Russia super yacht after winning court case in Fiji

JTN: A victory in Fiji’s supreme court Tuesday has allowed the U.S. government to seize a $325 million yacht from the foreign port that was reportedly purchase last year by a Russian billionaire and government official.

Russian Suleiman Kerimov, who according to the Associated Press last year bought the yacht, Amadea, has yet to comment on the seizure.

This legal case is among a series of U.S. efforts worldwide to take Russia oligarchy assets to condemn Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine.

The United States also seized two aircraft Monday, worth a total $400 million, from Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich. 

Who owns the yacht is unclear, with Kerimov’s lawyers saying it doesn’t belong to their client, despite him having bought it last year.   

Paperwork indicates the legal owner is Eduard Khudainatov, who owns another yacht,  the “Scheherazade,” and has been linked to Putin. more

  2. I’m surprised that this is considered a reasonable course of action. As belligerent as Russia seems in this it seems a case can be made against us as well. What will we do when Russia has had enough of our shit?

  3. All your yachts belong to us! Can you say “Party Time”. Russia just stole grain from a port in the Ukraine. So all the people being kill & tortured raped & robbed is ok though, they are only Ukrainians. Your twisted sister logic amazes me.

  4. Can you imagine the sorrow the poor
    Russian cxkr felt when he lost his boat…

    B’Wahhhhh, I can’t imagine the grief

    The holocaust slaughter of an entire bloodline
    cannot equal the loss of the family canoe

    B’Wahhhh, let us wipe our eyes and our cox as well
    to thoroughly appreciate our russian brothers loss.

    > Need anymore proof our government is lawless?

    If The Law(TM) is Subject To Change Without Notice(TM), there is no “law”. The, very, definition of “lawless”. Now. Who allocates themselves, not merely The Right(TM), but the job, of changing The Law(TM), Subject To Change Without Notice(TM). Same as it ever was.

    I feel like I’m commenting back to Juicy Lucy or who ever the hell we were arguing with today, every time it posts. Fuck Nuts, go find some like minded friends and leave us alone. You’re obviously to smart for us. We give up.

  8. Time honored tradition to capture the enemy’s boats, of any kind, in war. However, the US maintains the fiction that it is not a belligerent in the Ukraine war. Capturing the boat is the act of a belligerent in the conflict. I presume our government sees itself as ‘above’ such small details in its righteousness and purity of purpose. Let us hope the Russians play along.

  9. If you are going to steal a boat during a war, steal the other guy’s submarine or aircraft carrier or even a patrol boat.

    Our State Dept. thinks a rich guy’s yacht is a threat to America? No, that honor goes to the Biden Administration.

    Face it, we are in a Brave New World. Does anything make any sense anymore?
