Maybe you could find a way to tow it a few miles northeast 
This is insane. If only it were in IW...
The estimated cost to provide the recommended repairs is $2,300,000.
If you look at the estimate, $1 million of that is to rent a barge that will jack the entire platform up out of the water for painting.
I don't think $1200 is the actual bid price:
I'd be worried about the whole thing collapsing and then being liable for cleanup costs.

We should all pitch in and bid on it and own it together as a community. Then we could host a bitcoin node there.
For that price, I'm seriously considering bidding on this.
interesting, is it in international waters?
No. IW is 20 miles, plus the property was built by the US government and a condition of the sale is that the new owner must consent to that as an ongoing fact.
The estimated cost to provide the recommended repairs is $2,300,000.
