Oceangate<\/a> CEO Stockton Rush was on a ‘predatory’ mission to find wealthy clients to endorse his submersible’s deep sea trips to the Titanic, industry leaders claimed last night.<\/p>\n Mr Rush perished on board the Titan last Sunday along with his four passengers when the vessel imploded while en route to the Atlantic seabed.<\/p>\n Insiders say the OceanGate boss was having difficulty finding rich customers to make the operation profitable. He also used his powers of persuasion to stop clients being steered away on safety grounds by respected figures within the exploration community, the Times reports.<\/a><\/p>\n Patrick Lahey, president of Triton submarines, told the newspaper: ‘He could even convince someone who knew and understood the risks… it was really quite predatory.’<\/p>\n
