A VIP belonging to a major environmental conservation group was supposedly among the members of a 2009 government-sponsored inspection tour, of the offshore decontamination facility Big Shell. During the Sons of Liberty's armed takeover of the facility, he was apparently taken hostage.[1]
The supposed VIP was never mentioned again and Richard Ames later revealed that the inspection tour was to check Arsenal Gear's progress, not to check on the cleanup of the crude oil.[2]
