The U.S. Department of Justice task force targeting assets of Russian oligarchs has seen evidence of attempts to evade those sanctions or move assets in anticipation of possible sanctions, the unit's chief said on Friday.
Andrew Adams, a veteran prosecutor tapped to lead the department's new "KleptoCapture" force last month, told Reuters in an interview that the level of cooperation between countries on probes into oligarchs' ill-gotten gains had reached an "all-time high" in the wake of Russia's assault on Ukraine -- potentially helping prosecutors track down their efforts to hide wealth.

Task Force?
lol
So the US Govt is just going to seize the assets of citizens of a country that we arent at war with?
I’m shocked that they would “evade” the sanctions. Who da thunk?
“ the level of cooperation between countries on probes into oligarchs’ ill-gotten gains had reached an “all-time high”
The oligarchs should declare their gains as ‘contributions’ like our crooked libtards do. That makes everything okay 🤪
Who aren’t necessarily supporting their government on top of that. I guess most of the anti-Putin oligarchs in London have turned into staunch patriots.
Who can blame anyone from having their property seized?
There are a lot of New York real estate agents and LA car dealers who could say a lot about where Russian assets are hidden.
We should create some kind of bounty. Give proof that a $100 million dollar condo is owned by one of Putin’s stooges and you get 10% of the value.
Sounds like the oligarchs are just exercising reasonable self-defense.
Shocked, shocked I say that Russians aren’t cooperating with the sanctions. We all expected them to meekly submit to sanctions, right?
I’m shocked that they would “evade” the sanctions. Who da thunk?
A BS “article”. Not one name mentioned. Zero, nada.
Right!
Maybe they meant Task Farce?
Who would have thought?
Wait, who we talking about? Russia or the US?
That would certainly create a lucrative opportunity for those Open Border Residents in America to take Russian Oligarch's contracts on the Snitches.
A Good Nazi?
I'm confused, too.
Are there any oligarchs that aren’t Russian? Are there any Russian billionaires that aren’t oligarchs? The word seems like a meaningless pejorative.
