So the owner let his busted up boat grind away at the coral for 6 weeks over a gracious 117k dollar token fine . But plays the victim card when the Govt gets tired of playing around . The owner should have had a recovery team on it the next day . Paying for it .

Seems like the salvage company should be partially responsible too. Why didn't they attach some lift bags to that boat before they towed it off the rocks so it wouldn't head to the bottom. It wasn't like it sinking immediately wasn't foreseeable considering the obvious damage to its hull.

This is pretty much locals hate for tourists the world over.

Intentionally done Exchange rates made it worth all the trouble

Another hypocrite oracle of the fake climate change scam? Unbelievable! LOL!

Thanks for reminding us that the "story" about the "electors"' and how it's only the left mainstream news that wants to push it. If those guys want to keep using their fossil fuel guzzlers they'll need to protect that fuel from the rest of us. That's "sustainability".

I hear Greta is interested.

None of gates yachts won't work properly, they will need patching everytime they use it.

He had to build it as a replacement for Epstein Island activities.

Bill Gates is NOT AN ENVIRONMENTALIST! That claim is absolutely ridiculous. He's actually the OPPOSITE of an environmentalist. There is no such thing as a billionaire environmentalist.

My girlfriend's brother blew up a high-profile car dealership owners' boat in the 80's. My uncle, cousin and I worked at the marina. My uncle was fire inspector for the city at the time and when he retired the guys altered a pic to have sitting on a seawall across from the fire with a big grin on his face! Nobody was hurt but there was lots of damage to the covered wells and other boats.

Cause of the fire?, the primary suspect I understand are the massive lithium battery bank onboard. They've been increasingly linked to numerous fires once they are just a couple of years old, and are notoriously hard to put out, which explains the need for over 100 firefighters for a fire that would otherwise require less than 15 firemen to handle it.

Not a secret anymore

They will come for all of those hypocrites

The SS Epstein?!?

Just dont go to these places and spend any money. That's the only lesson I glean.

I don't listen to a single one of these "environmentalists" . . . they are _all_ hypocrites - period . . . I'm more of an environmentalist then any of these quacks and I don't even give a shit about it . . .

The Vikings were able to cultivate bees, grow barley and farm in Greenland 1200 years ago. The Vikings grew grapes in Vinland, now Labrador, 1200 years ago. After 150 years of the Industrial Revolution's global warming, Greenland is still to cold to grow barley and raise bees.

He's selling cause in Gitmo in jail waiting for his death sentence there is no point owning any toys.

The fear-for-profit industry is doing very well. 🤣🤣🤣

The old scumseeker

Nah it's for secret research purposes. For the pLaNEt!

Plant more plants they absorb co2 no more jets

That's just bloody excessive!! It wasn't a deliberate act.

Environmentalism has always had little to do with nature and a ton to do with control of people and making a select few very rich.

No night watches . Captain to blame . Crew were used to no night watch duties. It was standard. Company owners knew that and they should be held accountable also!!!

If they get. A competent salvage company.They can retrieve it from the bottom of the ocean.... This entire story is surrounded by morons

Bill Gates is not an environmentalist, he's just a poser.

These arrogant pompous hypocrite Billionaires are a menace to normal people. They need to be stopped

If they can reduce the population by 100,000 they will be carbon neutral.

The most likely explanations for Gates' lifestyle not aligning with his words: 1. He belives his wealth and importance are sufficient to allow him to do what he pleases and the rest of us can just eat bugs. 2. He thinks he does so much for the world be deserves to indulge and refresh himself so he can continue his amazing feats of altruism and the rest of us should shut up and be grateful. 3. He knows his alarmist views are BS. 4. He knows it's too late so he's gonna live it up. Leonardo and the rest of the climate clerics in Hollywood are no better than Gates either. Flying private jets and building huge mansions all over the world while they preach the ND for us to live in tiny houses. They eat the best from the world's ranches and oceans while investing in bug farms and miracle meat factories to feed us. They are the monarchs of the seventeenth century for today. Maybe they'll meet similar fates. 🎉

Boring

A lot of those evil WEF a-hole hypocrites own one . Look at DiCapprio’s yacht also .

Some boat owners are beyond arrogant

What difference does it make WHO owns a yacht? The total carbon footprint per industry is what matters! Yachts overall are increasing their carbon footprint. Finding solutions to lower this number will benefit everyone.

honestly i think both parties wanted that boat to sink .. there is a reason it was done so poorly

Whoever hired the recovery operation should also be fined. That recovery operation wasn't experienced or skilled enough for such a operation.

I hope the law can extend the sentence to prison if the fines are left unpaid. The threat of a couple of years in prison might just show some swift money transfers. great video 2x👍

When youre poor, you know all the rules and everything about your boat (planes cars etc as well).. the problem with beung rich is you can afford thing you didn't really research and it becomes imperative to hire the right people

Please the rich have been shitting on Hawaii for years

I'll bet they don't get so much as a sausage out of anyone for this.

Never trust Russians. Just refuse to do business with them. Especially now of course.

The Alberts are suing Jim Jones etc. for lack of insurance on yacht. Kevin S.

Well done. Great explanation! Thanks

Stupid people worship their God.

-I know for a fact that BG was building the hydrogen yacht, I also know very well why he’s selling it. - Private jets are worse than yachts for carbon - Wayfinder is a terrible yacht

Well deserved fine. It will be very important that the fine is collected! PLEASE NOTE: It grounded in Honolua Bay ... NOT ... "Honolulu Bay" ....

I just want to see how these funds will be spent........

Irony is, they may have anchored there due to how pristine the area was before the incident with their vessels.

WHO IS THE CLIMATE ACTIVIST? HE'S MORE LIKE A GENETIC ALTERING ACTIVIST
