Interesting hypothesis. It would be a great way to disappear.
My understanding is the sub is on a sled that sinks to 30 feet and then the sub scoots off and heads down. Losing comms is part of the trip. Wouldn't be all that difficult to either redirect the sub after losing comms, or maybe automate the trip and cover up the sub being empty.
With carbon fiber, that thing's just going to implode into a million shards and the only thing left to find might be the titanium domes on both ends, assuming they even survive. Won't be any body parts to recover.
There's enough money involved with the passengers to make this doable.
Also, I don't know if there were investors, but if this sub was a bust/scam, this is an easy way to make the whole thing, and the dude in charge, disappear with no repercussions.
I wouldn’t doubt that they each had an emergency pill that they can take that will end their life peacefully rather than wait until the oxygen is running out. Praying for a happy outcome, but knowing that the waiver said “death” numerous times, you’d think these billionaires came prepared.

Good points.
