I'd say more heavy seas and unfair winds lie ahead for OMEX ....since Tommy still wants to "protect the site of the Central America" I have never been so negative about owning this stock as I am right now,but ,as always it's just my opinion.
A possible lawsuit pending,,,,Tommy still wanting his cake to eat,,,,,Balance sheet that suketh......Explorer still sitting idle in the UK at Hull for at least 5 months and prior to that in South Carolina harbor doing not much of anything after finishing CENTRAL America last fall,,,ABOUT 7 MONTHS IN TOTAL THAT THEY HAVE DONE nothing TO FURTHER RECOVERY OF anything ON THE SEABED.
See sept.16th PR for completion DATE OF CENTRAL America.Oh and don't forget HMS Victory has stalled in Parliament on what was supposed to be a done deal....on top of all of that crapp you have a Super Dooper Pooper of a "CREATIVE FINANCING" deal with some obscure mining company in Mexico who is going to take over the company and stick dilution up the shareholders asses to the tune of probably 60%.This is turning into a koolaid drinking penny stock,or maybe it always has been...to me the hand writing is on the wall,but I've been wrong before........I'm thinking Stemm and Gordon already saw all this shit coming ,,,hence Gordon taking over as CEO so he can take the brunt of the fallout and Stemm can have someone to blame besides himself for the ultimate failure of this company.Only problem is ,he should ahve done that a year or two ago,because he is still the one at fault,not Gordon...........Time to stick a fork in OMEX I think.
Don't forget that all the work they did last summer has been for nothing so far and until everything is settled in the courts ..it will reamin that way.Even when courts free up the treasure they salvaged,,,, IF they do,,,it will take months to recoup their 35K a day costs ,among others.
Sure,,,,we can revisit this in 90 days...if there is anything left to revisit

The following is the text of a news release issued April 9 by Benjamin G. Dusing, the attorney for SS Central America treasure hunter Thomas G. "Tommy" Thompson. Thompson was arrested in Florida in January by federal law enforcement officials after two years as a fugitive:
Shipwreck Discoverer Pleads Guilty to Criminal Contempt; Hopes to Focus Anew on More Deep Ocean Recoveries
“We hope this plea agreement today is a first step toward ending a decade of lawsuits and refocusing efforts on finding and recovering more deep ocean shipwrecks like the SS Central America,” said Benjamin Dusing, attorney for Thomas G. “Tommy” Thompson, ocean explorer, marine engineer, inventor, and entrepreneur.
As part of the plea agreement between Douglas W. Squires, assistant US Attorney, Thompson, and Dusing, Thompson agreed to forfeit $425,380 seized when he was arrested, to help identify and recover assets and answer questions under oath about those assets, and to identify others who may have helped him in the crime of contempt.
If Thompson complies with terms of the plea agreement, the US Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio agrees not to charge him with any other offense arising out of the case. The agreement carries a maximum prison term of two years and a maximum fine of $250,000.
“Legal disputes over the first shipwreck Thompson’s team discovered, the SS Central America, have clouded Columbus-America’s bright beginning,” Dusing said. “First it was 39 insurance companies who claimed they had insured the cargo of the SS Central America,” he said. Several later cases were filed by two of more than 200 investors, and by members of a sonar team who helped in the search, he added.
In the mid-1980s, Thompson formed Columbus-America Discovery Group to locate, explore and recover the sunken treasure of the SS Central America, lost in an 1857 hurricane off the Carolina coast with the loss of 425 lives and a commercial shipment of some three tons of gold.
“Tommy Thompson succeeded because he did things no one had ever done before,” Dusing said. “He developed and adapted tools, techniques, and processes to locate and recover the SS Central America from a depth of 8,500 feet.”
Dusing cited several examples to illustrate Thompson’s entrepreneurial creativity.
1. Thompson engaged historical researchers to dig through 130-year-old newspapers to build a wall-sized Data Correlation Matrix of useful information.
2. He contracted with a theoretical mathematician to use the historical data to develop a probability search map of the Atlantic Ocean.
3. And he used that map to direct the use of wide-swath sonar over 1400 square miles of ocean to locate a badly degraded wooden hull shipwreck.
Though these methods were not new, no one had ever creatively adapted historical research, or mathematic search theory, or side-scan sonar in this manner before. This approach led to Columbus-America receiving an Institute of Management Sciences award.
Tommy then redirected Columbus-America toward engineering. They invented and built a revolutionary deep submergence vehicle-Nemo, to be the eyes, ears and arms of the scientists and engineers who operated it from a surface vessel 8,500 feet above.
Columbus-America continually adapted and improved Nemo, equipping it to perform both heavy excavation and extremely delicate tasks. Using the submersible technology they invented, Tommy and Columbus-America established the first “working presence” in the deep ocean, and carefully excavated the SS Central America while preserving its historical resources. Thompson has a continuing concern about protecting the site of the SS Central America.
