Re: the asshole who attacked the Hawaiian monk seal. Since krasnov's

feds are supposedly investigating this, and the guy brags about being rich, what are the odds on him paying any fine, or serving any time?

My guess is ZERO. The "hands on" lesson he got will be it legally. Of course, the internet may have other ideas!

and if they show up in court, that judge would be hard pressed to dismiss with a slap on the wrist.

Protected both under the Endangered Species Act and Marine Mammals Protection Act. There's probably state charges as well.
You're not even supposed to approach monk seals. And if the Feds decline to prosecute, he can meet justice another way at the
hands of native Hawaiians. Just another self serving rich sociopath taking up space. And if anyone thinks that's a rush to judgement;
res ipsa loqutur. There is no conceivable excuse for his behavior on this planet or any other. If someone does
that to such an animal - they'd do it to a child if they could get away with it. Fuck him and his business and his personal life.

at least one local showed him "Aloha", and got a commendation for it.

The internet is doing its thing. He has been doxxed. One very smart person apparently read my suspicious mind, and suggested that maybe his house, etc. should be searched, preferably with cadaver dogs.
