The only reason the moaners are gathering in force is they think they have a chance at the next contract. A map is a map, they explore any fuzzy spots they could not get close enough to with the towed rig, there will be no doubt MH370 is not there. Search moves to another favoured spot the Fugro team will likely still be doing the mapping. They were hired to map the debris field, I would be correct in assuming the contract did not mention a specific part of the SIO?
No point anyone blaming the people doing all the hard work if they were told to map the wrong location. And there is no way to be sure it is the wrong location till it is fully mapped, or someone goes and finds MH370 some where else.
Now a really suspicious person would say they already found MH370 back in March 2014, and left the Chinese to salvage it, while the official search was moved north and attention was diverted with some false pings. Three Chinese military vessels we could not track and an unknown vessel that was in that southern search area probably after the official search was moved, but also not keen on sending tracking data. And why was HMAS Success rushing off in a certain direction on March 26th, only to later be seen in the AIS data going directly north out of the search area. She never sent any tracking info in between, she was seen in the sat images. Why would she rush off to investigate something, and then not send any AIS data? Every other spot she stopped those tracking could see where she was, she turned in that time she was not sending tracking data.
As well Digital Globe did their images in strips, they did that entire southern search area multiple times, starting on the 16th of March, but the clouds kept ruining the view. The strips done on the 26th March that were shared on the Tomnod platform, were missing 2 images. I am a bit smarter now, I know the most likely reason those images were missing. At least 2 of the Chinese vessels we were not allowed to track were possibly seen on those images. It is possible the larger anomalies seen in my area were more ships, but they did not look like ships, they were man made, nothing natural. I assumed they were under the water, they were that dark and not moving, also much clearer than HMAS Success and the P3 Orion we had seen. Yes a satellite can see straight through water to the bottom in at least some locations, and seems to magnify things sometimes. They keep quiet about that. Nobody ever gave any explanation for what was seen at my area of interest, but after the Tomnod search was finished, someone changed the resolution on that one sat image to have a closer look, someone was curious. This after they told us the 20m scale was the best they could do. True going to 10m made it a bit fuzzy, and I believe they lightened it a bit which lost some detail, it was originally very dark. Currently most of the image has vanished, possibly due to a glitch, although it was still all there after the resolution was changed. I was going to sit and study something else of interest over winter when I had more time, lucked out. But the most interesting pile of junk seen in the Tomnod images that could have been wreckage is still viewable. Could be something else.

The overlapping image taken that showed that area on the 25th, the day before, was a high contrast one, only showing what was near the surface (or what was light coloured further down), it showed some strange things near that location, that again seemed to be man made, but such a high contrast image loses all the details you could use to identify what you are looking at. Digital Globe continued taking sat images, going further east for months after the search was moved north, they were looking for something and I doubt it was whales or fish, still might not have been directly related to MH370. Digital Globe also took a large number of images slight north of the area in the Tomnod images, many of which were not viewable in their catalog (not even a thumbnail)) and have since been completely removed. The ones viewable in that area were either full of clouds or of a sort not useful. But I got the impression something was going on we were not allowed to see, but again might not have been directly related to MH370.
A Chinese fishing boat, the Ju Long Jia Ya 7 was tracked much further east later on, sitting fishing for a couple of months, near a spot where things seemed to swirl around, almost super glued to one spot, in the roaring 40's even during winter (she left start of July), determined she was to fish for something. But then China has lots of fishing boats down south, although they usually move around more. She returned after winter and behaved more normally, fishing closer to Tasmania, the few times I got data on her, seemed to be fishing up and down north and south and back again. I was a bit suspicious.
Still no proof anything was going on but the thought has definitely crossed my mind more than once, they did find MH370, and covered it up. If the ships could not see what the planes had located and in some cases marked with a buoy (and a bit of smoke it seems), why did they not just fish for it? They would have had the equipment to look under the surface.
You look hard enough you can always come up with a conspiracy theory. Better ones than that Fugro's images might be a bit fuzzy. Fugro Equator's were good enough to find that much smaller and older shipwreck, a recent B777 debris field should be much more noticeable, if it was there.
