Man and girlfriend face death penalty after building floating house off coast of Thailand in bid for independence

A BITCOIN trader and his girlfriend are facing the death penalty after their floating home was towed away by the navy.

The cabin had been touted as milestone in the "seastreading" movement to build floating communities in international waters as a way to explore alternative societies and governments.: "This is ridiculous... we lived on a floating house boat for a few weeks and now Thailand wants us killed."We seriously did not think we were doing anything wrong and thought this would be a huge benefit for Thailand in so many ways.

Elwartowski and Supranee lived there for two months and left before the Thai navy raided the structure on April 13.In a video posted last month detailing the construction of the floating home, Elwartowski said 20 more similar homes would be up for sale to form a community.The Seasteading Institute advocates building offshore floating cities and originally received backing from PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel.

Joe Quirk, president of the Seasteading Institute, said the couple had achieved a milestone for the movement.
