Current Storis Owner Bluffs With Plans To Scrap Ship And Prepares to Take $70,100 Bath With Losses

Mark Jurisich- Owner of former CG Cutter Storis

Update: I have made a few edits in order to add some links and add content which explains a few things more clearly. Why? Well, I have taken it upon myself to create this blog and what is posted to it but, I am not nor have I been a part of the Storis Museum or any of the non-profits trying to save the ship. In other words... I won't sugar-coat my dislike for the current Storis owner and the reason is simple: I take personal offense when someone takes a virtual piss on Coast Guard vets, supporters and the Storis herself. Additions/corrections are in current font and color background. 
Today was to be an important day for Mark Jurisich, current owner of the former Coast Guard Cutter Storis. Today is the day Jurisich was to make good on his threat to remove the Historic ship from Suisun Bay and go full steam ahead with his plans to turn the ship into scrap metal. No matter that he missed the original removal date which was 10-days after he bought the ship in late June for $70,100 from the GSA in an auction.

After over two months of holding the ship hostage against Storis supporters and the non-profit groups that continue to try to obtain the ship to make her into a museum, Jurisich has been clear with his position: Pay me $250,000 and I will give you your ship. But, if you don't give me my payday... Your little piece of history will be one "cut up cutter." Note: Jurisich may not have said those exact words but, according to info posted  to the Storis Museum FaceBook page, what I said above is the impression that Jurisich has led people to believe... on top of not picking up the ship within 10 days of the sale.

Let me summarize for those just joining in...
Mark R Jurisich, a failed business man from San Diego bought the Storis with the intention of flipping her to the non-profits for FIVE times the amount he paid. In other words, profit off the non-profits. This is NOT my opinion. This is a fact that Mark Jurisich has failed with his recent business as I have copied the following as proof: Oh, Suspended and Revoked! Perhaps he got into some trouble? Allegedly.

Jurisich is a failed business man because, he went into this extortion plan without doing his homework before buying the ship which could have given himself an escape route. Like his previous business failure, he tried to save himself the embarrassment of being the idiot who spent $70,100 on a ship that would cost over a half million to get prepared properly in order to scrap it  by standing his ground against the Storis faithful (Note: this is my interpretation based upon what has been said online thus far) by insisting he will scrap the ship if they don't pay up.

The Storis faithful, armed with Jurisich's failed business history (If they didn't know it before... They do now because of this blog) as well as all the real numbers involved, told him they won't pay.
"Ok! I warned you!" Said Jurisich, (note: that is not a quote. I wasn't there to hear what he might have said but, it has been reported that he asked for $250,000 or will scrap the ship. I welcome Jurisich to contact me directly and I will be happy to quote exactly what he said.) and he set a pick up date of Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Today actually, to get the Storis headed to the scrap yards,

As of last night, the Pilots log for Suisun Bay shows nothing for the Storis or Jurisich. Nothing.
What this means is that Mark Jurisich of the soon to be former owner of US Metals Recovery (Note: This is my opinion based on his documented failure above), has had his (alleged) bluff called and it is now public record that he can't follow thru with the contract he had with the GSA upon buying the ship and with a little pressure put onto the GSA, the ship should be taken out of Jurisich's name and at the very least, the ship put up for sale.  Thus, giving the Storis Museum a chance to buy her and sail off into the sunset while Jurisich enjoys what is left of his $70,100 BATH!
(Update: I want to pose this question for Jurisich that seems shady and worthy of the IRS looking into what business does US Metals Recovery actually conduct? The question: How and where does what appears to be a shell company (my opinion) with no office address, staff, working office phone or even a website URL come up with a cool SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS to drop with buying the Storis???)
