Original Note:
This article is correct, however the way it is worded is misleading. Baluchi was given federal charges because he 'obstructed a boarding' and 'violated an order from the Captain of the Port,' not just because he was using the vessel. https://www.npr.org/2023/09/07/1198252469/coast-guard-hamster-wheel-reza-baluchi-atlantic-ocean https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2237 https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/33/160.111
