1. Wouldn't be great if all the corrupt people who stole from the public had their assets frozen?

But was this done without due process as we expect in the USA?

That due process is needed to protect people, but it's also abused to get out of paying back those who were abused by corruption.

We'd love to see virtual justice meted out this way, but beware. And it's interesting and a bit frightening that the monetary system can do this.

Since Ukraine is not yet in the EU, it would seem they had no jurisdiction in this, but I'll bet some of his assets were hidden in other nations to keep the Ukrainian government from getting wise to his foolishness.

Just my humble opinion...
