What physical assets does X have in Ireland to seize? The Fenian street office in Dublin is leased and TikTok took over most of that space anyway.

- tpm 2y agoWell, what about bank accounts then? Can be seized too.
- TomK32 2y agoTwitter are very likely to use some payment providers in the EU, I imagine those can be ordered to withhold part of the money owed.
- deadbunny 2y agoIf X owns the building they can seize that, tennants be damned.
- busterarm 2y agoAlready said in the post you responded to that they lease it. It's publicly available information.
- robin_reala 2y agoNot sure how many staff there are left in IE, but if we assume 200 and with a laptop resale rate of maybe ~€1K that’s a third of the way towards the repayment.
- badpun 2y agoFirst things baliffs typically seize are bank accounts, way less fuss with them than with physical assets. You typically only seize physical assets from broke people, or from companies that went bankrupt.
- busterarm 2y agoThen why do you think Delta's plane almost had to be seized instead of one of their bank accounts?
- soneil 2y agoThere's a strong chance Delta don't have much legal/fiscal presence in the UK. Probably also why they didn't feel a pressing need to pay fines in the UK. There's a much higher chance that Twitter have a legal and financial presence in Ireland, especially being that it is/was their EMEA HQ.
