This is a load of bull. Ancient maritime law states that should you be at sea and witness what they call 'the birth of an island' that you, having then of course set foot on the island, have the lawful right to claim it as your own. Since the creation of the said island would be lawfully defined as an act of god no single person should be able to claim it before hand. This also means that no insurance can be placed upon your investment and as such any sale is void.

This is unless of course, and no offence is intended here, the U.S changes the law and using the might of their political fist, imposes it upon the rest of the world, as so often happens.

Of course the investors could still sell the land. The rip off merchants lol. But I am sure a few people or even governments would have a thing or two to say about that.

It's another of those anciennt laws that still stands.

For example, and this only stands for England and any countries that remain part of the commonwealth. It is said that England no longer carries the death penalty. WRONG. The penalty for High Treason, the murder or assassination of a daity/member of the royal family iiiiiiis..... Death... by public execution or hanging. Now go assassinate the queen and see what happens, lol.

One last point, then I'll shut up. Hey it's post quality, not quantity to me man, lol.

If this company can lay claim to land before, as we have established it is lawfully defined, an act of god creates the island, thus undermining existing maritime law. Then in conclusion, since it is ok for them to undermine law then I can too. So, I take us back several million years in earths history, (I can defy law so it does not matter that there is not a human race yet, lol) To a time when Geologists believe that all the worlds ...
