Hello again Gentlemen,
This story gets darker by the week. Now there are allegations from the salvage team's own crew that the head guy from Maine conspired to seed the Port Nicholson wreck with fake gold in order to entice new investors. There is also evidence of falsified documents purporting to show the presence of "BULLION" on an older manifest they later passed off as the cargo manifest for her last voyage.
The Maine Securities Office is investigating and indictments may follow.
Please check out today's (April 27, 2014) Portland Press Herald article by Eric Russell entitled: "Former Crew Member Claims Gorham Treasure Hunter Staged Retrieval of Fake Gold Bar: Testimony in Federal Court Case Could Aid the Maine Office of Securities as it Gathers Information from Investors about Greg Brooks and his Companies."
Regards,
Paul
