An American bitcoin trader and his girlfriend could face the death penalty after they were accused of threatening Thailand's sovereignty by building and living in a"sea home" off the coast of Phuket.
Chad Elwartowski and his partner Nadia Supranee Thepdet have fled their home, built atop a platform around 12 miles off the coast of Phuket, and gone into hiding after authorities revoked the American's visa.He had promoted"seasteads" on social media and claimed his home did not fall under the sovereignty of any country, which Thai authorities have said is untrue. He repeated the claim on Thursday, writing the home is"outside of Thailand territorial waters.
CyrilleTelmer you
This is what a billionaire built? This looks like a child's fort, built from scraps.
CDesimeme this that good shit
I wonder if their gunna rely on the US government to help them get out of this predicament
This is good for bitcoin.
woodruffbets How is that location pronounced?
That's it Babe! We're moving to international waters off of Phuket, I'm done. :ROFL
Get his ass Thailand
Death penalty? You had me at bitcoin trader. Off with their heads.
Good.
woodruffbets Am beginning to think mr thiel is a villain.
Off the coast of ‘fuck it’ 😎
A bit harsh, but Southeast Asia waters are crowded and complicated, with China increasingly exerting “sovereignty” over vast areas
'Phuket'? A placename which practically begs for this kind of thing.
Nice pool tho
What century modern is this?
Do you ever just say Phuket and build a sea home
If this was truly located in international waters there’s no threat to Thailand’s sovereignty. It’s a pretty ridiculous charge under the circumstances tbh. They can handle this in a more proper manner.

Hope they don't sleep walk lol
WilliamShatner is a Bitcoin trader. Let's see if you refer to him that way the next time you publish a piece about him, since it has nothing to do with the context of your article. Maybe a better title is 'Thailand wants to murder US citizens who live in the ocean'
SamAugustDean Thailand, WTF?
Stupid merricuns everywhere 😂
A bitcoin trader? A bread eater? A beer drinker? A CNN reader (no such thing but)
Why is it relevant he is a bitcoin trader cnn would you have mentioned his profession If he were a cleaner? Or are you trying to scare people out of bitcoin trading?
OoPs
That's a fort on a stick not a house
Cyber punk af
no Vays!? Tone it down guys.
rip dipshits
Ancaps b like
All I want are photos of the bitcoin seabase
I mean these people suck very badly but I hope we can all agree they don't deserve to be executed.
Bull market sacrifice ?
🤣🤣🤣
We not letting that happening
Thailand's sovereignty is very fragile.
Lol
Is this decentralization?
His name was 'Chad Elwartowski'
Will this be me JoseeeGalvis bbybblu
Much threatening. Very sovereignty. Thailand is fragile.
Seems a little harsh.
well done CNN the Bitcoin narrative fits well with your biased article
April fools?
That's a bit harsh
Xentagz Wow there’s a lot to unpack in this headline
The real story is Thailand immigration policies; All illegal immigrants are sentenced to life in imprisonment or death. Border Immigration IllegalAliens BorderWall
gunsmoslem Probably just some sort of misunderstanding?
reasonable
Where were they when the construction was on going?
apparently they didnt go out far enough?
You know when they planned on building it, his wife was saying 'Isn't this part of another countries territorial waters?' He replied, 'Phuket!'
Good.
Desalination for the masses will kill the oceans. ☂️😇☂️ Fallout101
i volunteer to carry out the sentence
Boycott Thailand. Boycott Thai restaurants. But love those Thai women.
Thailand: lovely people, but authoritarian, verging on draconian govt and laws.
Nuking is the only answer.
Bitcoin has been more stable than US Treasury bonds lately 🤔
They should offer a peace treaty and play them in basketball, otherwise that’s just plain dumb!
Call me crazy but I’d rather pay taxes than live in a box in the middle of the ocean, without plumbing, freshwater, access to healthcare or education, or police protections 🤷♀️
Good, tbh
Wtf is that kind of law or punishment is that
what is the phonetic pronunciation of “Phuket”?
Bitcoin trader = con artist.
Reminds me of Sealand. realDonaldTrump, these people are stupid, but they don't deserve to die over it.
Seems a bit Harsh, Don't ya think?
That seems like overkill, pun intended.
Phuket
Illegal immigration is awesome though, right CNN?
Who the hell would live in that
