Irony: the deep sea mining scam is based on a 1974 CIA cover story—Project Azorian, the attempt to recover the sunken Soviet nuclear missile submarine K-129. They built a ship, the Hughes Glomar Explorer, which was described so convincingly as a mining ship for seafloor manganese nodules (not raising sunken missile submarines!) that it spawned imitators and grifters.
Just like the CIA hunt for Osama bin Laden killed Polio vaccination in Pakistan.
