What did the orca do?
Edit: nvm sunk a yacht
Unfortunately, the orcas are attacking relatively small yachts, mostly less than 50' long. Here's some info about the ones they managed to sink recently (because the ones that were merely damaged don't tend to get named in the news articles and are thus harder to find info about):
These are the kinds of sailboats that are chartered (rented) by upper-middle-class people on vacation or lived aboard full-time as a less-expensive alternative to owning a house (think nautical #vanlife). The victims of these attacks are not the billionaires you're looking for.

You don’t just walk into a gym and bench press 800 lbs. You gotta work your way up. Give them time.
Hey, they're doing the best they can.
and no link? I have to do my own homework?!

Not just one orca and one yacht. Yacht bumping seems to be turning into an orca game.
I’m here for it, but the real billionaire assholes are all in way bigger yachts, more like private navy vessels at this point.
why is an easy question. sinking yachts is fun
