Re: the asshole who attacked the Hawaiian monk seal. Since krasnov's

[niyad]

feds are supposedly investigating this, and the guy brags about being rich, what are the odds on him paying any fine, or serving any time?

My guess is ZERO. The "hands on" lesson he got will be it legally. Of course, the internet may have other ideas!

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

1. He has been physically beaten, his company is getting negative press

And too much press for him not to be punished by court

[hlthe2b]

2. Yeah. I don't think those who witnessed are going to let this go...

and if they show up in court, that judge would be hard pressed to dismiss with a slap on the wrist.

[niyad]

4. Charges would have to be filed.. .I would be quite surprised

if even that much happened on the legal front. "under federal investigation".

[hlthe2b]

7. I thought the locals had filed. Well, shit...

[niyad]

10. It has been turned over to krasnov's feds.

[MLWR]

21. That shouldn't stop the state from charging on state charges.

Especially if Krasnov's lackeys act as expected.

[niyad]

3. I hold out zero hope for any criminal case. Tha was why I said the

internet may have other ideas.

[SheltieLover]

26. May he get everything he deserves X 1,000,000!

[LisaL]

42. He has been arrested, due in court today.

5. I hope he can afford the hunting

and a fitting end for us to celebrate

US millionaire big-game hunter dies after being crushed by elephants

[niyad]

11. I did love that story!

[malaise]

12. Join the line 😀

[Midnight Writer]

6. He'll claim the seal bit him on the dick while he was molesting it. Apparently, that justifies a violent response.

[Fil1957]

8. If there's enough rich people with his mentality, we're cooked...

[Kid Berwyn]

39. Cooked to Carbon

[rampartd]

9. i was aiming at that nearby aleut when .......

the monk seal jumped up just as my gun went off all by it self.

[Maru Kitteh]

13. If only the internet can discipline him, may the internet

do some of it’s best work.

[harumph]

14. No only was it animal cruelty, the monk seal, IIRC, is protected.

Protected both under the Endangered Species Act and Marine Mammals Protection Act. There's probably state charges as well.
You're not even supposed to approach monk seals. And if the Feds decline to prosecute, he can meet justice another way at the
hands of native Hawaiians. Just another self serving rich sociopath taking up space. And if anyone thinks that's a rush to judgement;
res ipsa loqutur. There is no conceivable excuse for his behavior on this planet or any other. If someone does
that to such an animal - they'd do it to a child if they could get away with it. Fuck him and his business and his personal life.

[niyad]

18. You are correct on its Protected Status. From what I understand,

at least one local showed him "Aloha", and got a commendation for it.

The internet is doing its thing. He has been doxxed. One very smart person apparently read my suspicious mind, and suggested that maybe his house, etc. should be searched, preferably with cadaver dogs.

[paleotn]

15. He who laughs at Karma and thinks he's too rich for her to touch.....

....gets run over by a bus when he least expects it.

[niyad]

19. So very true.

[paleotn]

22. Seems Karma wasted no time on this turd.

[GenThePerservering]

16. I watched the video of his beat-down several times

it was very satisfying.

[niyad]

20. Indeed it is!

[CatWoman]

17. Someone beat him up and the mayor does plan to file charges against the rock thrower

[Cha]

34. Mahalo, Cat! Wow.. That was super encompassing

information on said "Rich guy", who might be thinking, he wishes he had never gone to the beach that day. after blowing up in his face.

[Cha]

37. PS, Mahalo, I sent the link to my sister

in Asheville, NC. She is Big on the Monk Seals when she comes to visit on Kauai. As am I.

[LoisB]

23. If he's rich, the odds are slim to none. P.O.S. should be thrown into the ocean and

have rocks thrown at him.

[Hudly]

24. I'm surprised

he didn’t do like Tiger Woods, and say he was calling the president, ha ha.

[IronLionZion]

25. He should throw molten lava at Hawaiian volcanoes next

is wrong with people

[orangecrush]

27. Forgive me but

I am hearing the Zappa song where Nanook pounces on the seal hunter in my head

[niyad]

29. I am not familiar with that one.

28. The internet DEFINITELY has other ideas!

Lots of (recent) negative reviews on Yelp. Yelp has posted this...

"This business recently received increased public attention, which often means people come to this page to post their views on the news. While we don’t take a stand one way or the other when it comes to this incident, we’ve temporarily disabled the posting of content to this page as we work to investigate whether the content you see here reflects actual consumer experiences rather than the recent events."

https://www.yelp.com/biz/transridge-kent?start=40

The 'sad but increasingly normal' thing is that not much is known about him, yet because he said he's rich, all of a sudden it's all over the nets that he's a 'Ukranian millionaire'. For all we know he owes $350K on a $600K house, earns $80K/year, and for this he considers himself rich.

[niyad]

30. Interesting that that is NOT the business I saw listed for him.

[Abolishinist]

31. Assuming this is legit, he certainly deserves it.

What bothers me is, what if this is wrong? A person's life, along with their family, can be ruined by an unsubstantiated post on the net.

Very troubling to me, to say the least.

[niyad]

33. That is why I pointed that out. I understand he runs something

called ilLogistics (the "i" and "l" being his initials is one possible clue). I generally give time to make certain that information is correct before I take any action..

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

40. He was arrested near his hometown of Seattle and is currently being held in federal custody.

41. I hope they throw a book at him.

Here is another article saying he is due in court today.
