Is OceanGate in trouble for not using a good submarine to see the Titanic?

    IANAL, but I imagine that being in the middle of the ocean would provide some immunity because the “crime” was jurisdictionless.

      when you sue someone, its in civil court. its not about legality. the company is in the US. the family memebers will take them down and they no longer ha e their ceo.

      Courts aren’t limited to prosecuting crimes that happen in their jurisdiction. For example, German courts are prosecuting sex crimes committed by tourists in Thailand. So just because there is no court nearby doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want.
