re: #239 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

So this article (I only found it in German) indicates Putin is keeping a step ahead of the West and impounding oligarchs’ accounts himself:

Putin allows seizing rich Russian’s accounts

“Russian President Vladimir Putin told State TV that he has signed a law allowing the seizure of money from government agencies under certain conditions. The criteria are to be based on whether the accounts exceed officially declared income over the past three years and whether the money has been legally acquired”

I don’t know that the oligarchs are going to be all too happy about that. And what about Putin’s fortune? Can the government use this law to seize that? He’s going to be in for a surprise if he gets ousted…no comfortable dacha by Sochi.
