I think I had read that, maybe to 1000' or more in special suits.
OMEX has this problem now . . . they can't really afford for the stock to lose more credibility (in retail shareholders eyes), nor that of large professional organization shareholders. We retail saps that are holding long here . . . are seeing a company management that treats this as their 'play day sand box' epic quest.
That's great for them and their 'scientific approach' to treasure diving, but where is the beef for retail? Large shorts have now taken possession of our long retail stock value positions, and done a better job than the FED is corking us taxpaying fools.
Meson is just a plant for the Big Boys to manipulate the stock. He is protected from SEC, etc. by the political purse strings and reach of super funds, that hold stock against us retail's positions. He does the dirty work and they back him silently and protect him. Very doubtful he is just Johnny Lonely out there taking chances, that could hurt his welfare and freedom from legality. To me, this whole recovery is off . . . to say the least. And, I do think most of us have this feeling in the back of our mind.
Beginning to think OMEX was offered this deal and took it to keep food on the table through Mid 2015 [expenses + %cut of take].
Between mulling original wreck results and stop-over by OMEX Explorer to 'ping' probe the wreck in route to first SC docking, OMEX should have had fair idea of true worthiness of wreck contents left at site.
OMEX has succeeded in p-----g off a significant percentage of retail investors. They are wasting precious time on dubious results, and should already be down in Carb on those shallow wreck sites. And, yeah OMEX will do another 'we need dock time' soon, and leave. I had hopes the recovery would be done in Aug or by early Sept. I do admit I have no expertise in these matters.
Anyone, with proper experience in these things care to comment?
We have heard much to nothing about any filming rights coming out of this. The PRs have been underwhelming. Are the fluff PRs playing along with the whole direction of the 'gig'?
As far as year-around diving . . . it seems OMEX does not have ability to hold 2 or more trustworthy and ready crews, to exchange time on the water with land reunions. And, this BS that the court can seal the find results is really over the top. JP Morgan is the adviser on Seafloor Fertilizer game . . . that is funny. What . . . two,etc. 'advisers' meeting off-and-on?
'Mining' the pacific rift ridge vent holes for exotic minerals . . how is that coming?
A bunch of amateur coin dealers working the internet and their coin value books, could make more progress on the recovery loot . . . than the mighty college professionals OMEX hangs with?
Is August 25, the next installment of sea floatsam?
Who ever heard of a company that could not readily and properly defend itself from untruths . . . unless?
The Turtle is not the only one dancing around the suspect inconsistencies this OMEX latest gig presented.
Bad weather coming soon enough . . . then we are left hanging until late spring 2015? Want to bet the August 25-ish next PR date, leave us still wondering? It should not have taken more than a few days at most, to 'walk' remote sensor probe of what's in the timber pile of the hull. What's the mystery? Can't tell a USA ARMY PM ingot 'bounce' with film backup and multi-spectral
imaging . . . from cannon shells and bolts and engine debris?
And, there is apparently no way to discern any coin and dust ownership rights by modern day relatives of passengers, as they did not register these as they originally boarded?
