Given the dangerous (and quite probably illegal) nature of Widmore's operations, they might not be in a position to be picky or ask too many questions, although judging from the captain's unfazed expression at the end of this episode I wondered if he didn't know full well who Michael really is. That must wait upon the next episode, however. Of course, this is all assuming Widmore is genuinely the mastermind. I remain open to the possibility that his name has been thrown in as a red herring and the boat might just be another of Ben's ruses (Possibly crazy, but I'll bet that it was at least one of the various plot twists Cuse and Lindelof toyed with while deciding the direction of S4).
