Paper says something different Capted. What a surprise!
Key West Citizen
The most heated exchange of the day, though, came from Bruce Silverstein, an investor in Miscovich's company. He dueled with the attorneys for Kim Fisher, son of Mel.
The Fishers company originally sued Miscovich, alleging the emeralds came from the family's Atocha and Santa Margarita treasure sites. They claimed Miscovich committed fraud by concocting an elaborate scheme to swindle investors' money.
The Fishers dropped their claim to the gems in August after Marcial's assessment.
Silverstein called the Fishers' previous claim "frivolous."
"This is all nonsense," he said, looking at the Fisher table. "You all are just submitting anything you dream up."
Fisher attorney Gene Lewis asked Silverstein if he had threatened two Fisher witnesses outside the courtroom.
Both Marcial and marine archeologist Robert Baer testified that Silverstein threatened them in the hallway while they were sequestered witnesses -- meaning not allowed to discuss the case prior to testimony with anyone but their attorneys.
Silverstein fired back that both men approached him and wouldn't leave him alone.
Miscovich, a former real estate businessman and nursing home executive turned treasure salvor, came upon some 154 pounds of emeralds in waters off Key West in January 2010.
