U.S. Customs agents are seen near the superyacht Amadea at Honolulu Harbor on Thursday. The 348-foot Amadea, now under an American flag and manned by a new crew, is purportedly linked to Russian billionaire Suleiman Kerimov, and was seized last week in Fiji — a big win as the U.S. looks to confiscate Russian assets and punish oligarchs for their country’s invasion of Ukraine.
