Igor Lytvynchuk of Seattle filmed throwing a big rock at a seal.'I don't care, fine me. I'm rich'




Users online have identified the individual who threw the rock as Igor Lytvynchuk, a 37-year-old man from Seattle, Washington, who owns a shipping company.

The woman who took the video, Kaylee Ku’ukamaleimakamae Schnitzer, told KHON2 that after she confronted the man, he told her, 'I don't care, fine me. I'm rich' before casually walking away.  

The Daily Mail has reached out to the Maui Police Department to confirm the identity of the suspect. 

The seal attacker was detained by the Maui Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement (DOCARE) on Tuesday after the law enforcement agency received a report of monk seal harassment, according to the Department of Land and Natural Resources.

A fine won’t hurt him but maybe jail time would. Plus from what I’ve been reading some locals had a little something to “say” to him that was probably rather like a rock (or something) upside his head! He might not be too anxious to go back to Maui.
