A neighbour described the raid as 'pure intimidation'. Paul Bilzerian would be held in prison and was not permitted to attend his son's high school graduation. In the aftermath, Adam Bilzerian would question his dream of becoming an Army Green Beret; in press interviews, he asked, 'How can you go in and fight for your country when this is what they're doing to [your father]?'[2] Longer term, the incident proved to have a lasting effect on Bilzerian's worldview. He went on to study at Vanderbilt University, earning a B.A. in history. Here, he witnessed the 2004 United States presidential election that resulted in a second term for George W. Bush; Bilzerian saw this as a bad sign for the future of the freedoms of the Bill of Rights, and began to look into emigrating from the U.S. and establishing himself abroad. In 2007, he purchased a residence in Saint Kitts and Nevis, and the following year went on to become a citizen of the country, relinquishing U.S. citizenship in the process.[1] In 2018 he obtained Armenian citizenship.[5]
