Police seized 'negative billionaire' Eike Batista's yacht too
Now they've taken things a step further and seized his water toys too - including jet skis, a speedboat, and his yacht, the Spirit of Brazil, Bloomberg reported.
This comes after Batista's oil company, OGX, lost $9.7 billion and went bankrupt in 2013, pulling his own net worth down to about $200 million.
Then Batista went on trial for insider trading and stock manipulation.
The story is, Batista started to suspect that OGX's oil fields wouldn't deliver, and personally guaranteed $1 billion to keep things running.
It was enough to stabilize the plunging stock.
Then, prosecutors say, Batista made his move: when suspicions were confirmed and things really started to look bleak for the company, he allegedly sold his own stock and abandoned his $1 billion promise.
Now, four of Batista's companies are bankrupt and he reportedly owes $1.2 billion.
