What was Brian Yurasits' role at the TerraMar Project?

Yurasits served as Director of Development at the TerraMar Project. According to one maritime executive, 'it seemed like Brian was the entire organization,' suggesting the nonprofit had minimal operational staff.

The documents show recurring ACH transfers from Maxwell's UBS accounts to Yurasits' Capital One account, typically $1,875-$2,250 per month from March 2017 through at least January 2018.
