Interesting to say not the "owner of the vessel" Not surprised - usual scam with Greek Owners.
Sell to a company and sign a lease-back agreement You create a management company who earns management fees You pay commission on the sale and the lease-back arrangement to an "arranger" company
The asset has disappeared The proceeds pay current management expenses - maybe even their salaries and management fees The management company belongs to management - one removed - never declared to the SEC The "arranger company" belongs to management or his wife - one removed - never declared to the SEC
A transaction such as this has 10-20% leekage from the asset value
INVESTORS are the losers CREDITORS have not assets to sell to collect
