US authorities believe that a Russian billionaire acted as a "straw owner" of two superyachts worth more than $1 billion, according to Bloomberg.

A US affidavit says a nest of offshore companies and a yacht broker helped hide a superyacht's true owner, according to court filings in the South Pacific island of Fiji, per the news outlet.

Amid western sanctions, superyachts belonging to Russian oligarchs have been seized or detained in different parts of the world. The US is trying to seize a $325 million superyacht in Fiji, belonging to Suleiman Kerimov. The FBI found evidence aboard the vessel incriminating the owner, who "caused US dollar transactions to be routed through US financial institutions for the support and maintenance of the Amadea."

A $700 million Scheherazade superyacht, which has been in a dry dock for nine months, was recently refloated after being refueled. It is rumored to be linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

1. All the seized yachts should be turned over to Ukraine

They could start a Navy or a cruise line after using them as temporary housing.

2. THat's what I think too.

If they can't sell them right away, they should use them for housing refugees.
