If it was during the buildup of troops, that’s not crazy to be honest. What kind of idiot wouldn’t move their assets out of the country threatening sanctions in case of a war? >

That would be Putin, because that's exactly how he got his 300 billion frozen. >

Exactly. I still can't believe how stupid Russia was to leave that $300 billion exposed. They must have truly thought the war would be over in a week. Look at them now. >

Basically war tax evasion gotcha >

They most likely took the US warnings more seriously and started move money around. 
Or they were warned by Kremlin insiders. >

They are Kremlin insiders >

Why is this news, obviously they moved assets. You know these Uber rich play by thier own rules. 
You'll likely find Putin or his inner circle tipped a few off before it all went down. >

No kidding. Why wouldn't they? >

Yet the US media kept broadcasting about all the sanctioned property really putting the oligarchs in a bind. >

What about all of their real estate?
Kind of hard to move property in New York or London. Appropriate that. >

Not really. Transfer it to an LLC located anywhere that isn't a country under sanctions. >

True, but there'd be a record of that and something still physical in country. >

Yeah it's not the 300B they wanted. I've heard rumors of 150-100B left, maybe less.
