Rush had been sued for failing to give a refund to a couple who had purchased an expedition to the wreck of the RMS Titanic in 2016.

This photo provided by Travel Weekly shows OceanGate Expeditions CEO Stockton Rush on May 27, 2023. Rush was piloting the Titan submersible when it imploded near the wreckage of the Titanic, killing all five people on board, the U.S. Coast Guard announced Thursday, June 22, 2023. The Florida couple who filed a fraud lawsuit against OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush has dropped their claim after investigators said Rush died when his Everett-based sub imploded in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Money is a driving force in our economy, but honor, respect and dignity are more important to the human soul. We wish the entire OceanGate family and the families of those aboard the Titan the very best as they grieve the loss of their loved ones. Midway through 2017, the Hagles did not receive any updates from Rush and suspected Cyclops 2 was not going to be ready for its first dive, so they considered a refund.

The Hagles said based on their meeting with Rush in September, that they signed the new contracts and in Feb. 2018, wired $190,258 to OceanGate.

Trump is returning to Michigan with hopes of repeating the battleground success he found in 2016Donald Trump is set to appear in Michigan on Sunday evening as he looks to reclaim territory that helped propel him to the White House but slipped from his grasp four years later. The former president is scheduled to speak in suburban Detroit, where he lost ground between 2016 and 2020 and would need to win it back if he becomes the 2024 Republican nominee. He'd have to reverse the recent trend in Michigan that has seen Democrats make some of their biggest gains nationally since Trump’s reelection loss in 2020. Michigan, along with Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, flipped in 2016 to put Trump in the White House and went for Democrat Joe Biden four years later.
