Odyssey Marine: pirates, or worse?

The folks at Odyssey Marine can't be too happy about the writeup they received in the April 7th New Yorker. We've been reporting sporadically on their recent discoveries and their ongoing conflict with Spain. The New Yorker report digs much more deeply into Odyssey and its principals, however, and it doesn't paint a pretty picture. Not only is Odyssey made out to be a bunch of brazen treasure-hunting ocean-floor plunderers -- there is also the possibility that more money is being made out of manipulating the price of the company's own stock than from actual recovery of specie and artifacts.
