Highly unfortunate development. I thought Elwar had tacit approval or acquiescence for the seastead. I wonder where the disconnect is. Very unfortunate indeed. I just recall him saying the Thai's don't really have a say since the seastead is in international waters. Unfortunately the one with the biggest wrench oft wins the day. He dosent strike me as the type to not have contingency planning in full effect. Hopefully the whole thing blows over or the shenanigans are confined to a internationally recognized court of law. At least its not being swept under the rug and now that the word is out a support base can develop. The Malacca strait is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. It is also known to harbor smugglers and pirates along the eastern shores of Sumatra and so is heavily patrolled by many sea faring nations. Law of the Sea and Admiralty Law are very different from normal common law and statutes and while you are on the high seas you are literally captain of your vessel. As such subject to random inspection, search, seizure and detainment by law enforcement and naval elements at whim. I admire the courage and fortitude its taken to get the whole seastead thing going as far as it has but I fear they have a tough road ahead of them. I wish them the best of luck. |

Elwar, the Philippines has some 7000 islands, so you can pretend to be some fisherman around here, but not separate from the state unless you set up in the middle of disputed waters (not a good idea as pirates or soldiers or whatever may attack). Plus the PH Central Bank and/or CEZA (Cagayan Economic Zone Authority?) gave licenses to at least 10 crypto exchanges here. (I don't know the other 8, I only use the 2 big ones.)

I feel bad for Elwar but it doesn't matter what the technicalities of laws are, at the end of the day government will do whatever it wants.

I suppose he could tow it to local places and just use it under local laws...hey...that is something I guess... still, a pretty cool way to start a community and get away from it all... |

Its Elysium or bust. -------- bitcoin What to say..things look pretty good from where I am sitting. The market seems intent on recovery. Continuation in this price range can be taken as a positive indicator imho. The longer we drift sideways the better our chances for more upward movement and the less likely it become to see lower lows. It was no small feat to maintain support at $5k after the run up we experienced. Again I take it as a good sign and potentially bullish. #dyor Right now the 6 hour chart has the best look. Battling sideways along the top of this cloud hopefully. 6h  D  W  #stronghands'19 |

Holy shit this is bad, Mother Fuckers. of breaching Section 119 of Criminal Code.
The section concerns any acts that cause the country or parts of it to fall under the sovereignty of a foreign state or deterioration of the state's independence.
It is punishable by death or life imprisonment.
Hope Elwar is getting that shit towed far away from that country as we speak. |

https://thethaiger.com/news/phuket/navy-files-report-against-seasteading-structure-off-phuketThe Royal Thai Navy Third Area Command and Phuket Marine officers yesterday inspected the seasteading structure but no one was found on the steel and aluminum structure which is attached to the sea-floor. An order to remove the ‘seasteading’ structure is now in the process of being prepared. Some photos included in the article.

The newly submitted article indicates that the platform was empty when the boot showed up.
It is unclear from what I have seen whether Chad and Supranee are, in fact, in custody at this time.
Given the possible punishment here I hope they are making all sail for another jurisdiction.

Referring to claims by the couple that the seastead was set up outside Thai maritime territory, the source said the claim was untrue.
Officers, the source said, are investigating the Thai company in Phuket responsible for building the platform for possible financial misconduct. Mr Elwartowski was rich from bitcoin trading. Definitely looks like they have no case but still want to fuck it all up. I would say "bribe 'em" but I don't think that would do it, especially now that it's out. EDIT : funny that the Thai government is only mentioning this now. Like it wasn't an issue before ? Maybe some politicians are just trying to make money out of this after all. |
