US Senior Admin Official, in call with reporters, said in addition to disconnecting key Russian banks from SWIFT, the US & Europeans agreed to launch a mutlilateral transatlantic task force to identify, hunt down and seize the assets of sanctioned Russian officials & oligarchs,
as well as those of their families and enablers.
We will take their yachts, their luxury apartments, their money, their ability to send their kids to college abroad, the US official said. (thread)

UPDATED TO ADD:
SHIT ABOUT TO HIT THE RUSSIAN $$$ FAN:
The Russian economy appears poised to descend into utter chaos Monday as the passage of new sanctions likely collapses ruble; fuels potential run on banks; induces hyperinflation.
In other words, the shit is about to hit the fan-ski.
Russians have a very acute memory of the country's currency crisis in 1998 - and Putin has always presented his rule as the stable alternative to that kind of chaos. The ruble on Monday will change that.
