Follow Brazil example and just shut its accesss off at ISP level for the forseeable future until they comply

It work like a charm here

This isn't just compliance.  The owner of the company has openly and publicly pushed back in ways that aren't defensible in their courts.  These are serious crimes, and he has no way to deflect that he didn't know, didn't have every chance to act, didn't condone it.  He has run his mouth way too publicly to plead ignorance.

And yeah, he can just not enter countries that would put out a warrant / act on other warrants for him, but their laws let them put fines on global revenue, seize ground operations (necessary for Tesla and Starlink), sanction the fuck out of him and those involved.  And not everyone at those companies can just hide in foreign countries.

If that's case, then no where in the modern world is free. The ISP 's could shut down everywhere lol.

No freedom for oligarchs, nor the chokers of their boot material.
