Nephew's Alleged Threats

Seaver reportedly claimed to be an international arms dealer and mercenary who sold 29 million dollars worth of ammo to Haiti.

“I just sold 29 million dollars worth of ammo to Haiti. I'm not exactly a media person, Danny. I'm literally an international arms dealer and mercenary”

Threats of Retaliation

Seaver allegedly threatened to retaliate against anyone who betrayed his family, claiming he would 'ratfucking' them with his 'access to weapons' and 'intention to retaliate'.

“Everyone needs to be worried about what I might do. All I have is animosity and memory. But I'm going to spend the next times I have on earth ratfucking anyone that has ever betrayed my family”

Court Order Details

The order requires Seaver to stay 1,000 feet from estate employees, remain off private property, and avoid disruptive or harassing conduct.

Follow-Up Hearing
