BANGKOK - The Thai navy on Saturday boarded the floating cabin of a fugitive U.S. bitcoin trader and his Thai girlfriend, both prominent members of the “seasteading” movement who possibly face the death sentence for setting up their offshore home.
The cabin has been promoted as “the world’s first seastead” by the group Ocean Builders, part of a movement in tech and libertarian circles to build floating communities beyond the bounds of nations as a way to explore alternative societies and governments. The Royal Thai Navy task force had planned on Saturday to seize the structure and tow it back to shore for use as evidence, but by the afternoon it was still studying how to move it without destroying it, the navy said.
A Thai navy task force was sent out on Saturday to tow in the structure which will be handed over to Phuket’s police to be kept as an exhibit for the legal action, the navy said in an official statement.The navy said they have evidence that the floating home was built in a private boatyard in Phuket and said the couple wanted to establish a “permanent settlement at sea beyond the sovereignty of nations by using a legal loophole”.
Elwartowski and Supranee are members of Ocean Builders, which has denied allegations that they were planning to set up an independent state or “micro nation”, according to its online statement.

Headline is perfectly fine grammatically. The Thai navy has boarded the cabin belonging to seasteader fugitives who are facing the death penalty (for seasteading). Where's the problem?
Try it again using an actual coherent sentence please?
Initially, the media said there was a couple living in the cabin. But today somebody said the man is a member of the navy of United States. Is that true?🤔
this is an impossible sentence

Thailand says US man's seasteading home violates sovereigntyThailand's navy raided a floating home belonging to an American and his Thai partner who sought to be 'seasteading' pioneers. The movement promotes living in international waters free of any nation's laws. Looks like they forgot that even the smallest of settlements need a little army... and weapons for defense. 🙂🙂 Thailand seems a little aggressive in this action, death? I feel this is extreme if all they were doing is minding there on business, but hey, it’s their rules, their country. Wow what would they do to those crossing our borders illegally? Incredible you try to find a little space to call your own and someone wants to kill you for it!
