Superyacht disapperead since March 2023

The 'Falco Lair' of the late ‘Prince de Lignac’, or the late millionaire Bram van Leeuwen, has disappeared without a trace. The yacht is owned by entrepreneur Michael Rogerson. He got into a fight with the American tax authorities, turned off the AIS and since then the superyacht has no longer been traceable. According to the American tax authorities, Rogerson tried to evade taxes by claiming that the superyacht and his sailing yacht 'Toto' were making a loss as charter ships. He wanted to deduct that loss from the profit of his aviation company Rogerson Aircraft Corporation. This would mean he would pay millions of dollars less in taxes. However, the American tax authorities objected to this and in 2022 it was determined that the superyacht was a private matter. At that time, the superyacht was in West Palm Beach, Florida. The AIS has been switched off since March 2023. It is not known where the ship is now, and it is not available for charter and is also not for sale.
