Where is a body double when you need one?
Perhaps they could claim the fishes ate him?

How can a good plastic surgeon, keep a billion dollar secret?
He swims with the fishes?

In rather poor taste, Reuters manages to insert the climate change narrative.

Global warming may be factor in deadly Italian shipwreck, climatologist says

“Mercalli, president of the Italian meteorological society, said the episode could have been a waterspout, essentially a tornado over water, or else a downburst, a more frequent phenomenon that doesn’t involve the rotation of the air.”

We don’t know which it was because it all happened in the dark in the early hours of the morning, so we have no photographs,” he said. In Italy water spouts can involve winds of up to 200 kilometres (124 miles) per hour, while downbursts can produce gusts of around 150 km per hour. Statistics show that downbursts are becoming more frequent around the country, which Mercalli said may be connected to global warming."

Perhaps he had inspiration; this was my immediate thought (thank you, @ColonelZ).

Also missing is Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer. It all reminds me of the demise of Robert Maxwell. Something decidedly fishy…pun intended.

… you just gave me a thought … a website that tracks the “higher ups” of these international players like Morgan Stanley et al… While I’m sure that the DS already has such a database I mean one that you and I common folk could see.

An interesting notion…although tracking their holidays may give greater insights as to when ‘accidents’ are likely to happen…poor dears!

It seems the mafia wars are out in the open…and perhaps using exotic weather weapons to boot. The Russians just push people off balconies it seems…how unoriginal. At least the west is technologically inventive in our wet works.

The old Chinese curse comes to mind…‘May you live in interesting times’

Who hit control/alt/delete?

Another article same story.
Did somebody conjure a water spout then steer it?
“Separately, Cocina told journalists that a waterspout had hit the area overnight.”

The captain who picked up the survivors.

It wasn’t weather warfare; nor weather being used as an assassin’s tool.
It was an incompetent billionaire employee[s].
Yea.
That’s the ticket.

Could have been weather warfare IDK. Clearly not being aware of impending bad weather, failing to ‘batten down’ hatches, having that insanely tall mast making the yacht top heavy, and not having the keel lowered had something to do with it - captain/crew error for certain. Whomever may have pushed the weather warfare button could be sure they would get the owner’s attention, but being certain owner would die seems a long shot. ‘They’ would have known the yacht was vulnerable in that configuration for sure. More so than being in open ocean when the keel would be lowered.

But the only way for ‘They’ to know the owner would die would be to drug or kill in advance, then use the storm/capsizing to cover the deed. Autopsy results might be interesting…if the truth is told in the report.

Just saw this and thought it interesting. Important secret documents in watertight safes aboard the yacht. Passwords to bank accounts? Crypto passwords? Pearl Harbor files on some public official? Hmmm
