Its very sad when people carry out personal vendettas against a company that has acted legally (never to my knowledge been charged or prosecuted for a criminal offence, including the Mercedes).
You are kidding, correct? What do you think Contempt of Court is? Odyssey was fined $1.2 Million Dollars for Contempt.
Charged and found guilty of Contempt.
"Odyssey went where it went because it knew full well where to go; Odyssey found what it found because it knew full well what it was looking for; Odyssey withheld and deceived and deflected with respect to what it found because Odyssey knew full well why Spain was asking and knew full well the adverse consequence to Odyssey’s financial aspirations if Spain discovered the answer. To come to court and deny the truth of these facts is, as stated earlier, an unacceptable enormity propounded and maintained in bad faith and for an improper purpose."
Don't forget the SEC charges on the Tortugas debaucle. Charged and prosecuted for securities fraud.
The Mercedes, criminal charges in Court of Linea in Spain, investigation still pending.
The Gairsoppa, Investigation pending for overcharging $4.5 million. pending investigation.
MMO. Charged and found guilty of working the Victory site without a permit. Deferred sentencing. MMO permit still pending.
Earnesto Tapanas, charged and convicted of insider trading in OMEX, Currently still working for Odyssey.
Odyssey Explorer and Ocean Alert detained when leaving Gib on criminal charges, Vorus arrested.
You are correct, never charged or arrested, and certainly no convictions....
1. The latest news from Cyprus is that the Lebanese Authorities requested the seizure. (No evidence whatsoever and totally false)
Not true, there is evidence in the press. The article has been posted several times, but as it does not suit your purpose, it is false.
2. With all of your alleged experience, as well as others, I am surprised that none of you have been able to determine the potential identity shipwreck. I mean really, 18th century wreck, off the Coast of Lebanon (Actually 17th Century as had been widely publicised before this daft statement)
Where did you, or any others, provide even a shred of evidence to the identity of the wreck that Odyssey is accused of looting?
3. You added press release to the excerpt from the article (Never added any words to anything, only copied and pasted complete text from elsewhere)
You are not telling the truth, YOU provided the link, and no where did it mention press release. I have provided proof it did not say press release. Provide proof it did.
4. When the pipeline broke the news (News first broke in Cyprus Media not the Pipeline)
Since you claim inability to access the pipeline, how do you know they did not?
EEZ issues...
Speaking after the cabinet meeting at the presidential residence in Troodos, Kasoulides explained that temporarily confiscating the boat was the correct procedure regardless of whether the artefacts were found in Cyprus’ or Lebanon’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ), a fact that is still not clear. He said Cyprus had the obligation to investigate a ship with such a cargo, before granting it permission to depart.
“Whether in one EEZ or the other, the process of the temporary seizure of the ship and its contents will be the same. The Lebanese will come to air their views, we will hear from foreign experts as to where such cargo comes from and what its destination was,” he said.
Asked whether the ship may be handed over to the Lebanese authorities, Kasoulides replied “these are issues that we will have to see because they are preceded by a series of other tests. Depending on the findings, we will act according to the recommendation of the attorney-general.”
