Up to this point, they've been more than happy to take large sums of money without verifying the source of funds. So, what has changed? Their website still advertises, "complete confidentiality." The law should have always required ship-makers to verify that _all_ transactions meet international anti-money-laundering and tax evasion laws, in the first place. It shouldn't take sanctions for operations to suddenly be above-board. There should be zero "confidentiality" in spending hundreds of millions on acquiring vast amounts of properties, with large expense books. Otherwise, it's highly suspect to be used as a way to hide ill-gotten gains or other slush funds.

Now they are checking even more since the “black list” of companies and people is growing and changing every day and they are not allowed to deal with people on that list. I think one should remember that these are luxury goods they are selling (crazy expensive, yes), but not anythings that actually harms the people.... those ships that have mounted guns are not sold to private persons but only to governments.

The well known street con is called a shell game. For the mega rich, whether entirely lawful, slightly dodgy or downright criminal, it seems the name of the game is shell companies, to hide, obscure and otherwise disguise the ownership of assets, understandable for the last two categories, but concerning for those that are nominally in the first group. A management company which operates a vessel for an owner is fair enough, but when it becomes multiple companies or legal entities in multiple jurisdictions then there starts to be a smell of week old fish.

I've been wondering this myself. If the yachts that were arrested are just returned to their owners when all of this is over, then what's the point of taking them? An earlier eSysman video mentioned that around 10% of all superyachts are believed to be owned by Russians. So a significant proportion of the world's superyacht fleet coming onto the market in a short period of time is going to drive prices way down, if they're sold. But I guess as long as the seizing government gets enough out of the sale to cover the costs of seizing and holding the vessel they probably don't care if it's a bargain. I;d love to know what's going to happen to them though.

Will the ships be sold? That depends. If the owner of Dilbar, for example, is found guilty of money laundering, the ship will be officially seized (along with other assets) and sold. Ships that have been seized (not arrested) due to unpaid debts, will be sold to recover said debts. Will it effect values? Well, some (Russian) oligarchs will now be wary of buying such extravagant assets, so it could cause a drop in values.

I live in Antibes and my apartment overlooks the Millionaires Row and the usual berth of DILBAR. I have video of the last time it was in port here and the 22 minutes it took that very experienced crew to dock her. Interestingly enough, although the port of Antibes is larger and deeper than Monaco and Cannes our more infamous neighbors DILBAR and the yachts of Abramovich cannot both fit into our port at the same time. You may believe that his sister leaves the key under the mat for her brother's use but those of us who know crew members, delivery services, professional female guests, etc etc. know that HE owns that yacht and he always has---including the helicopters that ferry him and guests back and forth between Antibes and Monaco or San Remo or wherever he wants. DILBAR is usually in port for the start of the sail racing season in June and very visible was her repaint (change of colors) last year. DILBAR always looks tip top and there are always guests on board for the major yachting shows on the Riviera. So let's not believe the layers of paperwork. All these yachts, helicopters, airplanes and villas should be confiscated (some oligarchs and/or their grand families and myriad companies actually have the nerve to owe the French government property taxes!!!!). The yachts themselves and all their precious gold leaf contents and artwork should be sold and after back French taxes are paid the money should go directly to UKRAINE for rebuilding!! Yes, these yachts supplied lots of jobs to locals and our Michelin star restaurants will miss their money too but at what price for human life and decency? I shall miss the spectacle outside my windows and from the ramparts which were armed guarded from us local "rif-raf" but I would prefer to see this man and all his sisters and co-conspirators dropped from helicopters into the Med----far enough out so that the fat tub of over-consumption cannot possible swim ashore or be rescued by Putin's other henchmen. Yes I am angry and sad. Victory to Ukraine! Peace to the people of Ukraine and all their neighbors.

The SCALE of money laundering is estimated in the $TRILLIONS$. The primary means of concealing wealth is shell corporations, such as the 36 'offshore' corporations linked to this 'yacht' (more like ocean liner). They are created with such a complex web of ownerships, trusts, corporations, lessors, etc. that sometimes it is essentially impossible to fully nail down who the owner(s) is/are. The scale of these shell corporations has been highlighted by three troves of leaked documents. If you're interested, look into 'Panama Papers', 'Paradise Papers', and 'Pandora Papers'. Shell corporations and the entities catering (often small island nations, also Cyprus) to them, should be banned.

Many are likely fictitious offshore corporations, with no physical existence other than a post office box.

Love your updates.

❓ Do you think that your reporting in these videos will affect your career in the yachting industrie?

Until about whatever three weeks ago when I started watching your channel this stuff gets so weird as time goes on I never even knew about the super yachts so I don’t know if that means anything to you but you as an individual has open my eyes to this industry appreciate that now when I talk to people that are in my little circle I am the expert so I stole all your material but I’m not publish it I’m just simply saying it out loud to my friends who now think I’m a genius thank you sir

I am in the same sort of position. I assumed that they were absolute state of the art machines, all of them. But some seem like gilded sow’s ears. Glossy paint jobs, lots of cool toys, but at the heart, Lego constructions made from common parts to whatever size that the customer can afford. Thus, on the used market, they sell for relatively small sums. And then they are re-outfitted to the new owners’ taste for a large fraction of the purchase price.

There are over 1,000 comments already but I must add a thank you for fantastic reporting!

Great channel..lots of information.

Would love to see if there were any politicians or political parties that received any ‘beneficial’ payment connected to these oligarchs. I’m sure there are!!

His party have give Russian Oligarchs Lordships to our House of Lords and London has been a safe heaven for all of them, buying British citizenship for an average of £2 million! Abromovich and co! Oh the plot thickens!

Well Hunter and Joe Biden are connected to Kolomoisky in Ukraine and received millions from him. He finances the Nazi battalions who have been conducting ethnic cleansing by the way.

Well done the German investigators.

This channel is fascinating

Great reporting

You don't really get the scale of just how big it is till you see the person walking the aft step from the swim deck. Wow is it big.

Thanks for your work on this. Some of the issues that have been raised since the invasion of Ukraine are that there is a huge industry in the west to facilitate these russians and their stolen money, safe haven in the west. I'm hoping that some progress will be made to slow down or stop these kinds of services from being provided to these people.

The MSM has recently reported that Zelensky of Ukraine is in the Panama Papers and offshore over $10 million. Some reporters state that the amount is actually much, much higher however. The shell accounts go back to 2012 and there are hundreds of them. The guys no saint as portrayed by the media.

I'm not sure what and where his personal wealth comes from, but you can see, with the existence of freedom and democracy at stake, I'm glad he's the one up against putin. He is the one showing the world what the price of freedom is in the 21st century and is on the front lines of the fight.
