I would think a lot of wealthy people register their yachts under a foreign flag just for a reason like this.

Do you know what they have to do before they seize ice cream? They need to freeze it.

...and give one of them to Hunter so he can have place to snort cocaine, put M&Ms on penis for strippers to eat and display his artwork.
