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.

Ill give you a pop quiz on law you didnt 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.
