It's a weird libertarian dream. Same guy, same project, some years before:
But this week, Chad Elwartowski, a Michigan man who sought to live on the ocean in a prototype, octagon-shaped dwelling with his girlfriend, a Thai citizen, is in deep water with the Thai government, which alleges that he infringing on its national sovereignty.
Elwartowski said he is is now on the run, and could be be imprisoned for life or suffer the death penalty if he and his girlfriend are caught.
See, I'd think that would teach him that what rich creeps who want a luxury houseboat really want is something fast and seaworthy so they can flee, maybe radar absorbing materials to elude the navy of whatever country they pissed off that time. The McAfee case shows it doesn't even need to be their primary residence in the area so long as they can reach their boat ahead of the local police.

Libertarian, Thai girlfriend, yep there's definitely something real dark behind that relationship.
