their property be sanctioned and seized by the U.S. Government?

Wouldn't that have a deleterious effect on TFG as well if it is sanctioned and seized?

1. Better to no seize

Once the government takes something it becomes responsible for it. It could be argued that would include paying rent.

Better to ignore it while making it impossible for the Russian owners to pay rent.

That leaves Trump the choice of foreclosing on a Russian oligarch or eating the loss. Odds are he doesn't want to piss off Putin's friends.

3. I agree, they are often bought and then sit empty n/t

5. It's not often, it's always.

I misspoke. But there are hefty fees involved.

4. I dunno

Maybe it would be better if all the criminals moved into that tower and then we could build a wall around it and they could do whatever they want in there but never leave... oh, wait
