Saudi Jet lands here, hit with a lien and seize. Saudi owned building? Hit with lien and seize. Bank accounts? Serve with papers.... seize! A government owned house in Beverly Hills and all those Ferraris? Hello US Marshals with a court order.
The Saudis wont write a check. But there are specialists who work morning noon and night to identify and grab assets.
