Jesus. This sounds like this group is just taking billionaires' money while running a death trap. How the hell do you lose your sub for five hours? This should have stopped all trips until they fixed this problem through a combination of technical and procedural changes.

Their business model is to take wealthy explorers and also researchers, hoping that the explorers subsidise the researchers. So there is collateral damage.

Instead of a honey-trap, it’s a money-trap

Hard disagree. Why would anyone want someone dead? Why hatred towards random strangers just because they seem to be wealthy?

Someone is doing something legal and that doesn't impact you in any way at all, why even care? IMHO, you should be better than that.

I was skeptical of this at first, but then the song in the marketing video changed my mind.

What if people pay for that exactly because it's risky and potentially fatal?

I mean, if you accept that what you're doing is inherently unethical and immoral (I made a death trap but I'll let you pay to ride in it anyway instead of fixing it because you like danger and I like money!), then there's really no limit to the kind of terrible things you can put out into the world. But most of us would stop and reconsider what we're doing.

Not very sustainable if you're killing billionaires.
