    They did. That sub had several previous trips to test and with other passengers before they took the rich people. However because of the composite hull, you had a buildup of damage internally and it only collapsed on the rich guy run. And they buildup of damage was exactly what experts warned about.

      Wouldn’t be anywhere near as expensive as letting them continue to hoard all the money and other resources.
