Someone with a Russian connection probably is. We can only hope that one of the sources of his funds is connected to the sanctions imposed by the U.S. Treasury.

I’ll give you a pop quiz on law you didn’t even know you knew:

In bankruptcy, who gets paid first?

In probate, who gets paid first?

His assets might be frozen, but one can guess without looking what one of the exceptions to that might be.

There’s a secret to passing the bar exam. For every fact pattern, don’t waste your time spotting issues. Start with “where is the money, and how can most of it go to the lawyers” and then work your way backwards to what the most relevant legal issues are.

Honest to God, this works most of the time.
