Chad and Nadia recently posted that they are still safe, and offered thanks to their supporters
"Just checking in to let everyone know that Nadia and I are still safe. I have been avoiding social media to avoid making any mistakes that may reveal our location.
...the outpouring of support that Nadia and I have received this past couple of weeks has been amazing. People from all walks of life, from all over the world have done some incredible things to help us. The people that have come through for us have done the extraordinary when they did not have to. For that I am both grateful and humbled."
Also, this is one of the more accurate news articles on the matter, even if title is incorrect (it's an octagonal, not hexagonal pod)
""The Bangkok Post reported that Nadia and I were being accused of breaking a Thai law that carries a life sentence or the death penalty," Chad Elwartowski said in an interview conducted online.
"What is reported in the press in Thailand is usually what the military wants reported. Even though the allegations are far off base, we have to take seriously their intention to kill us."
The Thai navy reportedly demolished their floating residential pod "without following any legal process," Mr. Elwartowski said.
"We have no reason to believe we would face any sort of fair trial."
He denied violating Thai laws including its territorial rights in the Andaman Sea or "commercially extracting natural resources."
He offered to donate the anchored platform -- if it has not been destroyed -- to a Thai university for marine engineering and biology students.
"In exchange they drop the charges."
Alternatively, the couple hoped to enter the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok for asylum where "we could be married and so she can leave with me to America.""
