    The oligarchs themselves can’t go get it. That’s for sure. But they can still pay somebody to go get it with assets they control such as gold or Bitcoin or Monero.

      So your solution is to illegally get around the sanctions? Really? Sounds like a good reason for a navy to sink such a yacht as soon as it safely leaves port.

        Ah yes because slaves with guns (the military) who take orders from gangsters (governmyth) should destroy someones property that was being illegally withheld from its owner.

          Illegally held? I don’t think you understand how international sanctions work. It’s the opposite of illegal.

              Bananas are illegal according to the Flying Squid principle. So what? That’s not how the world works no matter how much you want it to.
