All, To me it is inconsolable that the Master must remain onboard the boat, UNPAID. Not to mention the crew. Master contract with company is voided upon non payment. Not to mention it is in their own country. Let the people from USCG take care of the boats, after all they are getting paid or perhaps don’t know how to manage anchored/tiedup boats. ---

My head is not spinning, I hope this crap comes to an end. Morty I think will try to keep his newer shit. stock and oil market today will be vultures everywhere. Morty better have his vest on. ---

[Dianne Feinstein](https://forum.gcaptain.com/uploads/short-url/7RCNnbuRJzwktOQV3O0xcj6SOsM.pdf) (155.4 KB) responded to an email I wrote her office regarding Bouchard. At least any new developments may be on the radar of the U.S. Senate regarding Bouchard. ---

Writing my elected officials with oversight power over the USCG about the treatment of Bouchard’s crews? Absolutely thought it was OK. ---

Did you think it was ok at Bouchard was the question. The latest was like a reprieve from the governor. They are still on death row. ---

God no it was not OK ar Bouchard. I used to work for them. Stayed there for one hitch and left, saw the writing on the wall. ---

I do hope Morty comes out of this ok, contrary to popular demand/opinion. These men and their family’s deserve better than what’s been going on. Hope the boats get running soon, Morty is taking it up the arse no matter what, but would like to see these boats running again. Damn nice equipment, the newer stuff. ---

> [@SeaEagle](#): > > These men and their family’s deserve better than what’s been going on. I have no dog in this fight but from what I’ve read and also heard through the grapevine for a couple decades, this guy is the common denominator in all of the company’s problems. Time to move on from him with new leadership. Whether Bouchard is painted on the sides of the equipment is immaterial in my opinion. That the mariners can continue to work is the priority and who can honestly say that it will happen more effectively than last time with him at the helm. ---

Is Morty the only family member with any control of the company? Does he has a better business minded brother or cousin? His son? ---

Nice. Perhaps I worded that incorrectly, hope the company and their employees survive, decent equipment and boat guys that are very good. Morty perhaps needs to wise up, certainly got a giant wake up call. Too much tonnage to go to waste, not a good time right now for any company in the oil trade. Tsunami for Morty. ---

Morty owns everything. Bob Bouchard got screwed his mother took some kind of deal for fast cash and sold most of her stock. Bob was no pleasure to work for either but at least he was a little more stable than Morty. Mortys kids want nothing to do with the business if anything happens to him, all of the assets will be in the market the next day. ---

There has never been any stock for BTC. I believe Bob was a pretty good guy to deal with. They don’t want anything to do with their father. They would love to be involved with the company. ---

What a shame, some good tonnage wasting away down south… Looks familiar. I hope history doesn’t repeat itself. Been there with a company even larger that is a shell of it’s former self. ---

Every corporation has shares, whether those shares are sold to the public is a different matter. Bob’s mother sold her shares to someone else in the family and thus gave up her controlling interest.
