38-year-old Washington resident Igor Lytvynchuk became the subject of online rage after a video recorded at Maui’s Lahaina Beach on May 5 showed him throwing a coconut-sized rock at a monk seal.
Upon being confronted by a local, the man refused to show remorse and instead flaunted his wealth, saying he could afford to “pay any fine.”
His lawyer, Myles Breiner, has now provided an unusual justification for the action, alongside claims that his client has been subjected to not only psychological but also physical attacks since the incident.
