The high-profile arrest of former Trump advisor Steve Bannon took place Thursday aboard a superyacht owned by a Chinese entrepreneur wanted in Beijing. The 151-foot Lady May , owned by Guo Wengui, was boarded by the U.S. Coast Guard, special agents from the United States attorney’s office in Manhattan and federal postal inspectors around 7 a.m. Thursday morning.
Hours later, Bannon pleaded not guilty to charges that he and others had siphoned millions of dollars from an online fundraising effort called “We Build the Wall,” a private group whose stated goal was to raise money for a U.S. border wall with Mexico. Bannon was accused of taking about $1 million for personal expenses. He was later released on $5 million bail.
Vacationers noticed the superyacht anchored offshore in Westbrook, Connecticut. Yesterday afternoon, many binoculars were in evidence on the beach, scoping out Lady May , which later departed for Manhattan. “I never saw such a big boat,” Catherine Bue-Hepner told the local newspaper, The Day . “When the owner of the cottage came by, he said it was Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio. You figured it had to be somebody big.”

Instead, it was Wengui and Bannon. Wengui, an exiled Chinese billionaire , has business ties to Bannon. He was not arrested yesterday, but there are warrants out for his arrest in Beijing, where authorities have accused Wengui of crimes including bribery, kidnapping, money laundering, fraud and rape. He fled to the U.S. in late 2014 and lives in self-imposed exile in Manhattan. He is also a member of President Trump’s Mar-A-Lago club in Florida.
Feadship launched Lady May in the Netherlands in 2014. Originally named Como , the yacht was built for New Zealander Neville Crichton. Robb Report reported at the time that the yacht was different from others on the market because its main deck was wrapped in a continuous sheet of glass. “This design creates the illusion that the entire superstructure is supported by glass and provides largely uninterrupted views from the yacht’s salon and forward owner’s suite,” we wrote.
Lady May is currently on sale for $27.9 million . It won a number of design awards in 2015 after it was launched.
The Bannon arrest was made by officials from the U.S. Postal Service, with transport provided by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Accused fraudster and former White House strategist Steve Bannon was aboard a $28 million yacht owned by a Chinese billionaire when he was arrested on fraud charges Thursday morning, according to reports.
The 150-foot mega vessel was in the Long Island Sound near Westbrook, Connecticut, when President Trump’s former strategist was picked up by US Postal Service inspectors, the Hartford Courant reported.
The boat, the Lady May, is owned by Guo Wengui, one of China’s most wanted fugitives , who is wanted in Beijing on fraud, blackmail and bribery charges, according to the Washington Post.
The 2014 yacht was listed for sale in an April post that boasted about its luxe amenities , like a fully stocked bar in the main lounge, a white marble and bleached oak interior and five staterooms. The meticulously kept vessel, which has a max speed of 19 knots (22 mph) and cruising speed of 14 knots (16 mph), can carry up to 10 guests and a crew of eight.
It remained off West Beach in Westbrook following Bannon’s arrest on charges he pocketed donations from the $25 million “We Build the Wall” fundraiser for the US-Mexico border wall.
A photo tweeted by a Fox 61 reporter appeared to show Bannon on Wednesday night aboard the yacht wearing a white shirt and khakis.
Bannon, 66, served as a top adviser to Trump’s presidential campaign and later served as White House chief strategist. He was fired by the president in August 2017.

Feadship's 46-metre 'Lady May' Enters Market
By Heather Collier
Feadship's 46.22-metre Lady May has officially entered the market. After undergoing an extensive refit and repaint in 2019, she is now for sale and in perfect condition for her future owner.
Delivered in 2014 from Feadship 's Aalsmeer shipyard, Lady May features an aluminium hull and superstructure, with naval architecture and exterior design penned by Dubois.
Previously named 'Como', she has since had a comprehensive makeover, featuring elegant, wraparound glass and a recessed wheelhouse to create a sleek, streamlined exterior profile.
She can comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests in 5 staterooms, and house up to 8 crew members. Her master suite can be found on the Main Deck, with panoramic, uninterrupted views of the ocean. All remaining cabins can be located on the Lower Deck.
With a modern, stylish interior designed by RWD, she has a number of unique elements that define her inner spaces, including a stunning crystal chandelier and a rotating floor in the Main Saloon, as well as expansive mirrors expertly placed throughout, creating the illusion of a much more generous space, encompassed by dancing rays of light from fixtures above.
Her exterior spaces boast a bar which transcends from within the Main Lounge, along with an al fresco dining space on the aft deck for relaxing dinners, cocktails or entertainment.
In terms of performance, Lady May has a cruising speed of 15 knots and a top speed of 19 knots.

Former Trump associate Steve Bannon was arrested on fraud charges Thursday aboard a $28 million yacht.
The vessel where the arrest took place, a 151-foot long yacht owned by an exiled Chinese billionaire, is just as remarkable as federal prosecutors' allegations that Bannon was a part of a group that used a campaign to raise funds for a wall on the US/Mexico border to defraud donors out of millions of dollars. Bannon pled not guilty to the charges.

On Thursday morning, federal agents arrested Steve Bannon off the coast of Connecticut on a 150-foot yacht named “Lady May,” charging him with defrauding hundreds of thousands of people who donated more than $25 million to fund a private wall along the US-Mexico border.
Lady May has been touted has one of the world’s most sophisticated superyachts and is currently on sale for $27.9 million . The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that it belongs to Guo Wengui, an exiled Chinese businessman.
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Boat International (@boatinternational) on Apr 19, 2020 at 7:53am PDT
A listing from Moran Yacht & Ship calls Lady May “innovative in every sense of the word” and boasts that it won “a succession of Superyacht awards in 2015.” Boat International reported in 2015 that Neville Crichton, a businessman and yacht racer originally from New Zealand, conceived of Lady May as a slightly bigger version of another yacht named Como. But, Crichton said, “it was the height of the global financial crisis and even though Australia came through that pretty well, I just wasn’t excited.” A year later, Dubois Naval Architects came up with a new design that was more than just a stretched-out Como . That yacht, Lady May, now belongs to Guo.
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Moran Yacht & Ship (@moranyachts) on Jun 22, 2020 at 11:47am PDT
Bannon has worked for Guo, who sometimes goes by the name Miles Kwok, since shortly after his ouster from the White House three years ago. Guo, a reported billionaire, is one of China’s most-wanted fugitives. Chinese authorities have charged him with bribery, fraud, and money laundering—similar to the fraud and money laundering charges Bannon now faces. He denies the allegations, saying they result from his criticism of the Chinese government.
Guo has helped bankrolled Bannon’s efforts to attack China and paid Bannon $1 million for work between 2018 and 2019, Axios reported last year. But those efforts are reportedly the subject of an investigation, separate from probe that resulted in Bannon’s indictment. The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that the FBI, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the New York state attorney general’s office are investigating whether a media company formed by Bannon and Guo, GTV Media, violated securities laws and bilked investors.
Here’s Lady May sailing down the Hudson River toward where Bannon is expected to be arraigned in a Manhattan federal courthouse on Thursday:
