Thailand’s navy has dismantled the floating home of a fugitive U.S. citizen and his Thai girlfriend, who face possible death sentences for setting up their offshore cabin in a way that Thai authorities claim violated the country’s sovereignty.
Bitcoin trader Chad Elwartowski and Supranee Thepdet, both prominent members of the “seasteading” movement that seeks to explore alternative societies and governments outside of national jurisdictions, escaped before the navy’s initial April 18 raid and remain in hiding.
