A total of 19 people were believed to be on the vessel in the “failed migration venture,” and four people reportedly drowned immediately upon capsizing Saturday, the Coast Guard’s 7th District said.

Those two unresponsive people were transferred into the care of emergency medical services and their current condition was not immediately known, the Coast Guard's 7th District said Monday.

"If you told me that only a few months later, we'd be worth $100 million, I wouldn't have believed you," Wilk said. "It's tough to see your stock price represent such a low amount and its distance from what it would be as a private company."
