Withdrawn from CMR docket W2578 TRIP pillar

Overview

Formation → Inversion Arc

On 15 Dec 2022, Moore & Co. principals sat Steven Ivankovich’s full-day TRIP / Tripp Hotel meeting where he pitched pairing his capital with SYG expertise and businesses as a joint venture — with this firm framed as shared JV counsel. The same firm later prosecuted Contessa’s counterclaim against SYG, held the $400K substitute security that released Octopussy, then withdrew (DE 243, Sep 19, 2025).

Moore & Company, P.A. is the maritime firm of Michael T. Moore and Caycie Blake Flitman. Public dockets place the firm on Saint Tony LLC (Cobia), Contessa Marine Research / M/V Octopussy, and later as named defendants in Stratmann v. Ivankovich (0:26-cv-61150). The TRIP day is the contemporaneous formation hinge for the dual-track SYG↔CMR / CMR↔KJM comparison.
