Islandmonkey, can you see any connection between Schaefer and
Silvetti prior to the search in Aruba?

Thanks for looking into this.

What about offshore companies doing business with American companies.Probably no way to track that per se??

In my moments of research I've found several (which I cannot name) and individually one can go to their site and find who they deal with.  I had found a few that mentioned BP....that's all that I can think of at the moment.

Maybe i need to research more as well as become a better googler!

I see GeoLab hired Appleyard per Kermit.You would think this would make it much easier to do business with BP since Appleyard would have,many connections within that company in order to procur contracts for GeoLab.Just thoughts..

You'll have top refresh my memory ...that was around 12/07 correct??I will go check, although the Bloomberg has more financial info than anything else. WE use it for bond trading and looking up information on the corporate bonds etc. I'll check. Does Silvetti have any US companies that are public??

never tried...I mainly just use it for trading, but it the American co is public, there should be some information in there annual reports, filings etc. I can look into that also.

I know that BP does a lot of work with the Russians.
Now the Russians have moved into Venezuela and Geolab
has hired Appleyard.......

What would Silvetti have to offer Appleyard to lure him away from someone like BP??Would like to know how much and what!

Yes.

When BP took over AAMCO, I had a good friend who worked for AAMCO
and he had to travel to Russia frequently.

  OK, so far.......Geolab was aquired by Dessau - Souprin, which is a Canandian engineering and construiction firm based out of Quebec. (private also).....Loooks like they do quite a bit of work in Chile, South america, Venezuaa, Peru. Looks like they specialize in geotechnics, engineering, energy etc......2200 employees and an annual turn around of about $250mm. Is this the Geolab you were thinking about??????? If so, already private upon acquisition.

[Magnolia]

All that I can find right now on John Silvetti is
Silvetti Marine and the Silvetti Group LLC
I don't think either is publically traded.
I wish Kermit were here.  He knows about all this.

kermit would be the one to confirm.You may want to search Kermit's profile for a better understanding of GeoLab LLC,as well as which countries.

It's the only Gelab I could find, and it was just acquired 11/08.........

Thank you klaas and caesu for posting that article on Beth.  She is one strong lady, and my heart still goes out to her.

Just in case anyone (who still believes in caps and his "witness") missed this part:

Holloway said she believes she knows what happened. She said that Joran van der Sloot finally confessed to killing her daughter: "He gave her a shot of rum, and that produced a seizure. He then got friends to help him dump her body in the sea. We'll never know if she was alive or not when that happened."

Interesting!!  VERY interesting date, indeed!!  Thanks for all your help here, island monkey!

Does the listing show the international subsidiaries of GeoLab?  Or only (what was)their American registration?

If this GeoLab is connected to Silvetti that will be real interesting!Isn't that right before they go down to search(map the ocean floor) for Natalee??
