Vantage Explorations, owned by a company based in Australia, is embracing its Vantage Travel roots to sell tours around the world, while conspicuously ignoring the former company's bankruptcy and the $100 million it failed to refund to customers.

Don't expect much new action from the Massachusetts Attorney General after the abrupt shutdown and bankruptcy of Boston-based Vantage Travel.

In the bankruptcy filing, the company admitted that customers lost $108 million for trips they had paid for but never got to take.

$108 million of that is owed to customers who paid in advance for trips that were later canceled or postponed.

Vantage has acknowledged it owes about $80 million for canceled trips.
