Who is behind Kalani Investments Limited? The short answer is I don’t know. I thought it worthwhile to at least try looking the British Virgin Islands (BVI) company behind toxic financings of Dryships (DRYS), TopShips (TOPS), and Diana Containerships (DCIX). For $30 I found out only two things: the company was registered by TMF BVI Limted of Palm Grove House, PO Box 438, Road Town, Tortola, BVI (a registered agent / legal firm that specializes in this kind of thing) and it was registered on March 24, 2016. As expected, the filings didn’t reveal any of the people who actually own the company and run it. I have uploaded the documents I received from the BVI corporation register. Kalani’s company number is 1909877.

Per the most recent TopShips 6-K (page 27) John Gordon from Hassans is the representative of Kalani (and again, this is just a law firm to hide who owns and controls Kalani):
