A big wave rumbled slowly toward the 800-ton-deck boat Aisland 1 in the lakes between Dubai and Iran around noon on February 2. On board the vessel were its inhabitants of more than a year: a 58-year-old European merchant named Samuele Landi, three seamen, a baker and five animals. Landi, the boat’s captain, was a talented computer programmer who had previously held the position of chief executive of Eutelia, a communications company. He fancied himself an European Steve Jobs, though John McAfee, the security businessman turned tax criminal, might have been a more appropriate comparison. An enthusiastic skydiver and bike racer, Landi liked to live on the edge: of the world, of the laws and of life itself. He had made a profession of wild offshore financial methods, then, adrift, he had become one with them. ” I may die at sea for positive”, he told Oswald Horowitz, a director who had visited him the past December. ” I’m never going back”.ImageSamuele Landi’s ship, the Aisland 1, was equipped with shipping containers that served as living rooms. Record… Oswald Horowitz/Maverick MovesThe boat was Landi’s biggest experience already. The Aisland had a balcony installed with six orange delivery containers bolted in place, making it a decaying rectangular aircraft with the size of a large commercial aircraft. These were the living apartments, equipped with solar-powered air-conditioners and a filtration system. The boat was often littered with products: ropes, crates, fans, tanks of oil and water, a cooler containing pounds of red meats, and a bucket of reinforced concrete mixture for repairs. In the weather, there was a Libyan flag. Self-preservation is the theme of Landi’s life on a damaged ship, which is located about 30 miles off the coast of Dubai. For over a century, Landi had been a man on the lee. He wasn’t a violent legal, nor was he a specially wanted person, in the grand scheme of things. Landi has been a criminal from Roman justice since Eutelia was declared bankrupt in 2010 and some of its directors, including Landi, have been very publicly tried and found guilty of bankruptcy fraud, and his choices have almost ended.
