But it's not, we've known for years they are milking the Russian people both legally and illegally. So you're basically feeling sorry for Russian oligarchs?

As mentioned elsewhere, I'm not feeling sorry for the oligarchs. I'm appalled how easily we as a society are willing to skip due process, given a sufficiently evil sounding villain.

They're gonna be okay, even if their fortunes are cut in half they're still billionaires. We all know that if you're a billionaire in Russia you are are criminal beholden to Putin. I'm sure they have bucketloads of documents at the CIA with more details than one person can read in a lifetime.
