Until proven otherwise, there is no French connection. This allegedly has more to do with the recent discoveries of 16th Century French bronze cannons as made by Global Marine, Inc in the Cape Canaveral area. DeBry is involved in this as a consultant and there are tug and pull issues going on between the State of Florida and the French Government. I would have to believe this company CEO is along for the ride by association to DeBry. I can hardly believe it has anything to do with this on going flotsam drama.
