1. Russian oligarchs should be deported to Russia, and their assets seized

2. They've been buying up NYC for 30 years.

But they also aren’t stupid, so identifying who owns what would be difficult.

3. The list is incomplete...

Trump Tower is missing.

6. It's the NYPost, so.... But you're right, this is the tip of the iceberg.

8. Amen

It would be nice to know precisely who owns or rents space in there.

11. Great info./map- Thanks for posting this!

I don’t know- Is it possible to seize a property that’s been put into a trust??

12. Confiscate the property; turn it into housing for displaced Ukrainians and homeless US families.

If I were king

15. I don't know whether it applies to Russian citizens in the US, but the 4th Amendment...

Fourth Amendment

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

16. Add Trump Tower.

[Sanity Claws]

17. I wonder how much they have driven up the price of real estate in NY and elsewhere

While they are working on this, why don't they look at the Oligarch's money in hedge funds?

[Claustrum]

18. Pretty sure they don't just own properties in Manhattan.

They own tons in Florida and around the US.

19. Long A New York Real Estate Mainstay, LLCs Lose Their Anonymity

“On January 1st, Congress passed a measure to end the secrecy around shell companies that has fueled a boom in high-priced New York condominiums. The new law could discourage the flow of international capital into Manhattan real estate, while giving investigators powerful new tools to detect money laundering and other financial crimes.

The National Defense Authorization Act, passed over a veto by President Donald Trump, empowers the Treasury Department to create and maintain a registry of the “beneficial” or true owners of most businesses created in the United States, including limited liability companies. LLCs are a popular vehicle for purchasing real estate, in part due to the secrecy they confer.”

I assume the others have GOP politicians in their pockets as well.
