Accused fraudster and former White House strategist Steve Bannon was aboard a $28 million yacht owned by a Chinese billionaire when he was arrested on fraud charges Thursday morning, according to reports.

The 150-foot mega vessel was in the Long Island Sound near Westbrook, Connecticut, when President Trump’s former strategist was picked up by US Postal Service inspectors, the Hartford Courant reported.

The boat, the Lady May, is owned by Guo Wengui, one of China’s most wanted fugitives, who is wanted in Beijing on fraud, blackmail and bribery charges

Why can we get photos of Bannon just before he was arrested but practically no pictures of our looted and destroyed cities by BLM?

Good question...

Of course, it’s not shuttling 12 yo girls to pedophile island.

Many ultra wealth lease mega yachts and dont have a clue who the owner is, same with corp jets.
Irrelevant point by the media with the attempt to inflame the ill-informed

I've read portions of the indictment. It seems pretty shady but then again, it's just their side of the story.

That said, how is that Bill and Hillary Clinton are worth hundreds of millions? All they ever did was hold relatively low paying government jobs (low paying by high finance standards) give some speeches, and open a charity based in New York. Oh wait, they skimmed everything out of that charity and Southern District of NY seems totally uninterested in that.

At least the SDNY didn’t send in the Roger Stone SWAT Team.

According to the government they funneled the embezzled money to him thru her so there would be no trace to him

What the hell was Bannon doing on a Chinese yacht? Not to mention the fraud if true.

The indictment is so clear as to how the scam was carried out I doubt there is a defense. They claimed they didn’t collect one red cent when in fact they were funneling a million to Bannon and 350K to Koflage. Prison is ahead.

The Clinton foundation is completely crooked.

Fortunately the pic isn’t of Bannon in a swimsuit.

Stainless steel. The DeLorean of ugly boats. It does do time-travel, however.

Is it also ‘Stealth?’

They’ve really done a good job of miniaturizing since the initial Philadelphia Experiments.

Sorry! I hope I didn’t type in width=5000 instead of width=500.

Self-reporting my malfeasance.

Thank you!

Just hit ‘report abuse’ on yourself, and ask mods to remove. You can then repost....at a decent width.
