Viral businessman who bragged about wealth slapped with federal charges in endangered species harassment case

A businessman caught on a viral video saying he was "rich enough" to avoid the consequences of allegedly attacking a beloved endangered seal species in Hawaii might have to prove it after he was slapped with two federal charges stemming from the incident.

Igor Mykhaylovych Lytvynchuk, 38, of Covington, Washington, is suspected of tossing a rock at the head of an endangered Hawaiian monk seal — one of the rarest marine mammals on earth — on May 5 in an incident that was caught on camera by locals.
