Subject: NEWS STORY ABOUT ALLEGED BOAT THEFT

by Dennis Reeves Cooper

Last October, Kevin McCarthy, of Amelia Island, Florida, drove down to Key West to look at a 45-foot boat being offered for sale by the Ocean Key House Resort. He looked at the boat, talked to a broker and was ready to offer the asking price of $110,000.

Then he learned that the hotel was planning to auction off the boat. So he checked with hotel General Manager Steve Boswell and the hotel's attorney, Alan Eckstein.

I wanted to make sure that the hotel really owned the boat, McCarthy told Key West the Newspaper this week. They told me that they had taken possession of the boat after the owner had defaulted on his dockage payments.So McCarthy authorized his broker to bid on the boat and he got it for $71,000. And he got a purchase sales agreement from Attorney Eckstein.

McCarthy motored the boat up to Islamorada and left it there for 10 days for cleaning and servicing. Then he and his wife returned to the Keys to take the boat up to Amelia Island.

We were nearing Miami when both engines quit on us, he said. And while we were waiting on a tow, I got a call on my cell phone from Robert Krutko, who identified himself as the former owner of the boat. He told me, You are on my stolen vessel.'He said that the Ocean Key House had stolen the boat from him and had illegally resold it, McCarthy said.

I didn't know what to think, so while we were being towed to Miami, I called Attorney Eckstein. He reassured me that everything was okay. Then I checked with a Miami maritime lawyer recommended by the towboat driver. After listening to my story, he told me that I had probably bought a stolen boat.

McCarthy said he had already made arrangements for extensive servicing in Ft. Lauderdale, so he had the boat towed there and, back home, consulted with another maritime lawyer in Jacksonville.

He agreed with the Miami lawyer and, after some more research, he wrote Eckstein a letter demanding that they return my $71,000, McCarthy said. It took them a couple of weeks, but they finally sent me the money.

Last December, the Ocean Key House sued Krutko in federal court, alleging that he owes the hotel more than $60,000 in dockage fees. Krutko has counter sued, alleging grand theft.

Krutko said that, in June of 2005, he and his wife bought an existing sunset cruise and snorkeling business based at the Ocean Key House Resort marina. The deal included the boat.

We were paying $3000 per month for dockage on a month-to-month basis, he said. But we soon learned that we were losing thousands of dollars because the concierges at the hotel were referring business to our competitors. I complained to General Manager Boswell and he promised to put a stop to it. But nothing changed.

Then, the hurricanes of September and October 2005 blew through, and many of the docks and walkways at the hotel were destroyed.

The hotel had ordered all boats out of the marina before the storms but, after Wilma, we were allowed to return because our slip was intact, Krutko said. But we were not required to pay rent for a couple of months because the marina was not operational.

But by December, when the walkways in the marina had been repaired, he and his wife had decided to move the boat, put it up for sale and move on.But Boswell begged us to stay, even offering six months free rent because of the storms and the problems the concierges had caused us, Krutko said. But the problem never got any better.

So, a few days before the six-month free rent deal expired, Krutko said that he had an employee move the boat out of the hotel marina, up to his home on a canal on Cudjoe Key, 23 miles away.But it was decided that there wasn't enough room to put the boat at my dock, so he anchored it out in the bay, Krutko said.

But, the next day, the boat was missing and Krutko filed a theft report with the Sheriff's Office. Deputies reported that a call had come in from a neighbor who said the boat was adrift and that he had called the Florida Wildlife Commission (FWC).

An FWC officer found the boat and a Sea Tow boat showed up at the same time. Then a call came in from the Ocean Key House. Hotel officials reportedly told the officer that the boat had broken loose in the marina and that it should be returned to the hotel.

Incredibly, the FWC officer released the boat to the hotel, rather than having it towed to a secure location until the owner could be found, Krutko said. It didn't seem to occur to the officer to question how the boat could have drifted' from the Ocean Key House to a location 23 miles up the Keys!

A Sheriff's deputy reportedly later found the boat chained to the dock at the hotel marina. Upon questioning, hotel employees reportedly told the deputy that the hotel had a lien on the boat, but they could not produce any paperwork to support that claim.The Sheriff not only bought that bogus claim, a deputy called me and told me it was now a civil matter, Krutko said.

Not long after that, the hotel sold the boat to Kevin McCarthy.McCarthy said that, even though the hotel returned his purchase price to him, he is still out thousands of dollars for other expenses associated with buying and moving the boat. I am watching Robert's lawsuit against the hotel, he said. When he wins his suit, I'm next in line.

Krutko calls the hotel's lawsuit outrageous. They are even suing for dockage fees during the time, after the storms, when the hotel didn't have any docks. he said.

He said he is also disappointed in State Attorney Mark Kohl, who refused to accept his grand theft complaint against the hotel. Why can't he see grand theft when it's staring him right in the face?

While the lawyers wrangle, the boat remains in the custody of federal marshals in a Ft. Lauderdale marina, continuing to run up dockage bills.I also have a copy from John Evans company a reciept where he billed hotel thousands of dollars to go steal this yacht.

Thanks to Robert in Buffalo: Please refer to Report Report #0238480 which can be found here: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/238/RipOff0238480.htm ''During this lawsuit i will be able to prove john evans of hydro thunder performance watersports not only lied to several individuals including state police officer but was involned in trying to cover it up. when court transcripts are available i will then prove my facts.'' The case was concluded MONTHS ago; YOU LOST. The court documents have been available for months so why haven't you used these documents to prove your allegations as you stated you would above? Why don't you explain why the attorney for RSA Inc. (Reef Snorkeling Adventures Inc., Laura Krutko, President) withdrew from the case? Why don't you explain why the judge WARNED you about your 'highly suspicious' evidentiary documents when you moved for dismissal and release of the vessel? You know, your ridiculous claim that a 'newly discovered' document that proved RSA Inc was dissolved on Aug 30 2005, but wasn't FILED until Oct 2007 on the same day you filed your motion to dismiss? The reality is the document states a dissolution approval date and the form is signed (but not dated) by Laura Krutko, but the EFFECTIVE DATE was left blank. Go ahead. Take all the time you need to explain this one. When are you going to make these court documents available to Mr. McCarthy so he can read for himself what really transpired during the lawsuit against you? Don't' forget to include the evidentiary documents filed by the plaintiff that include the investigative reports and statements from the folks who were on the scene when the vessel was adrift. When are you going to provide Mr. McCarthy a copy of the judge's order that denied your motion to dismiss so that he can read for himself what you attempted to do and the judge's STATEMENTS as to WHY your evidentiary documents were 'HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS?' and he denied your motion? Perhaps if Mr. McCarthy would READ these documents, he might develop a more accurate opinion of the type of people he's dealing with (you and your wife) and re-assess his relationship with you. When are you going to update the Secretary of the Gulf Coast Mariners Association with the FACTS of your case (as filed with the court), including the WARNING to you that the Judge stated, so he can write a follow-up article to the one he printed in their newsletter in March 2007? When are you going to retract the lie you posted about me on RipOff Report? I guess Robert 'The Liar' Krutko needs his memory refreshed. Here's a reminder of when he LIED and posted on RipOff Report that I worked for United Yachts: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/312/RipOff0312362.htm QUOTE ''WEVE BEEN TOLD ROBERT IN BUFFALO IS AN EMPLOYEE OF UNITED YACHT SALES N.Y. OFFICE. GOOD TRY ROBERT IN BUFFALO TO BAD MY INSIDE SOURCE SAID YOUR WORKING OUT OF UNITED YACHTS NEW YORK OFFICE. SHOWS AGAIN WHAT A SCUMBAG OPERATION UNITED YACHT SALES IS... Submitted: 5/22/2008 6:09:40 AM Modified: 5/22/2008 7:52:54 AM Robert Buffalo, New York U.S.A. I'm convinced. You have now convinced me that you're a liar. I've been self-employed since I stopped working for a major autoparts supplier. I don't know you or Schmidt, but from the blatherings I've read here from BOTH of you, I wouldn't wish to business with either of you. I initially responded to one of your post last year. I was curious as to how a boat could be arrested. Here's the rebuttal I posted last July to your report: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/257/RipOff0257482.htm - 243740'' UNQUOTE As anyone can see Robert, you're a proven liar. Anyone who would like to learn what this knucklehead, Robert from Ohio, has been doing, just read these 2 ripoff reports and decide for yourself: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/257/RipOff0257482.htm http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/312/RipOff0312362.htm If you'd like to learn about his losing civil suits and foreclosures, just check with the Martin and Monroe County (Florida) Clerk of the Court websites and search for KRUTKO to learn about his failures. More information about this businessman' can be found at the Ohio Secretary of State website. Again, just search for KRUTKO and learn about Special K Investments, Mr. Hotdog, and Mr. Powerwash. Now Robert, do let me know when you're going to RETRACT the lie you posted about me. And thanks to Michael in Summerland Key as well as our court system: These are all a matter of public record through Clerks of Court websites, ripoffreports.com, and internet blogs by Robert Krutko: 1. Southern District of Florida, Miami, Federal Case 07-cv-60001, Ocean Key Resort v. Robert Krutko.......The resort filed for possession of the 45' Corinthian dive boat after Krutko fell into arrears of $60,000 for dock rent. Krutko slandered Ocean Key Resort and bragged about the trial, even falsely claiming that he was the plaintiff. Here on Ripoff, he vowed to publish the court's findings. In the end, Krutko never even showed up for the trial. The Federal Court found no wrongdoing on the part of Ocean Key Resort and awarded them the boat. Case Closed. Robert Lost. 2. Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulations (DBPR), Complaint ID 1047612, Complaint # 2007043289.....Robert filed this complaint alleging that Alan Eckstein, a Key West attorney for Ocean Key Resort, was illegally involved in the auctioning of the boat. DBPR investigated and found no wrongdoing on the part of Eckstein. Case Closed. Robert Lost. Krutko began slandering DBPR. 3. Before DBPR concluded its investigation, Krutko claimed that the case was forwarded to the Monroe County State's Attorney's Office for criminal prosecution. SAO Chief Investigator Paul Meyers said otherwise and stated no such thing happened and that DBPR never concluded any criminal activity. Case Closed. Robert Lost. 4. Monroe County Sheriff's Office, Report #MCSO06OFF005101.....Krutko used a friend, Andrew Porter, to file a Theft report on Ocean Key Resort, and it's employee Steven Boswell, claiming the resort stole his boat from Cudjoe Bay. MCSO visited the boat at the OKR dock and ran the registration numbers. The boat returned to a marina in Key largo that no longer existed, not Robert Krutko. The hotel made claim of back rent and a mechanics LIEN. MCSO ruled the report as a civil dispute, not Theft. Robert refused to accept MCSO advice and began slandering them. Case Closed. Robert's claim unfounded. Krutko began slandering MCSO and Sheriff Roth 5. Following the MCSO report, Robert complained to the State's Attorney's Office in Monroe County. The SAO agreed with MCSO and told Krutko the case was civil, not criminal. Krutko began slandering the SAO and Mark Kohl. 6. Monroe County Court, Civil Case CAK060000910, Chase Home Finance v. Robert Krutko.....Krutko's Florida Keys home was foreclosed on. 7. Monroe County Court, Civil Case CAK080000678, Robert Krutko v. City of Key West.....Krutko sued the City of Key West and blogged all over the internet that it would be an historic case because he claimed the city allowed his business to fail. Krutko's complaint was dismissed because he failed to show cause, and he never showed up for the hearings. Case Closed. 8. Monroe County Court, Civil Case CAK080000679, Robert Krutko v. Old Town Tours and John Evans.....Krutko claimed Evans ran a dirty business (Hydro-Thunder) and was partly responsible for his failure. Krutko failed to show cause and never showed up for the hearings. Case Closed. Complaint Dismissed. 9. Martin County Court, Civil Case 432008CA000313CA (08000313CA), United Yacht Sales v. Robert Krutko......After months of relentless internet slander and harrassment of United Yachts by Krutko, they sued him for slander/libel. Robert hid from the subpoena, even having his father cover for him once. After 2 months, a private investigator found Krutko at his job, a janitor at a Columbus, OH motel. The subpoena was served. After all the internet slander of United Yachts, Krutko had his chance to show cause in court. He didn't. Krutko never even showed up for the hearings. The court ruled a default judgement for United Yachts. Case Closed. Robert Lost. 10. There are 5 Franklin County civil cases that Robert lost, including a second home foreclosure. Those civil case numbers are: 06CV012693, 90CV010128, 04CV006240, 03CV003250, 03CV003248. Synopsis: Robert Krutko is financially and professionally irresponsible. He loves to falsely slander good people and businesses on the unregulated internet. He is a liar, plain and simple.

HYDRO THUNDER KEY WEST SCAMS ANOTHER CLIENT

#6Author of original report

Thu, March 19, 2009

A vendor working at the Hyatt Key West is scamming customers out of tens of thousands of dollars while Hyatt looks the other way. Hyatt tells all complaining customers " Hydro Thunder Key West our vendor has been here for several years with no complaints" They tell everyone this time after time due to the fact hotel management gets a nice cash kick back for the services this man provides. Below are letters from several victims of this vendor... Hello Mr McCarthy I have been reading with interest and alarm the account of your trip to Key West in 2007 to purchase a boat and the subsequent seizure etc of it whlie travelling back to your home port. It seems you were hoodwinked big time and that you were fortunate to get your money back. The reason I write to you is to seek information on John Evans from Key West who was mentioned in the stories as being party to the scam you were affected by. To keep my story brief: basically we (six of us) were staying in the Hyatt Hotel for the last week in Jan recently and we opted to hire a boat from Old Town Tours Inc.(aka Hydro-Thunder of Key West). Although complete boat novices, we hired a Cape Craft boat for 1 hour and when they were giving us the instructions an alarm went off and we had to return to the marina where they gave us a brand new Yamaha AR230 twin engined jet propelled boat with very little instructions. After 20 mins smoke appeared everywhere and when they came out and brought us back to base they told us an engine was 'toasted'. They then informed us that we had broken off one of the rear exhaust jet nozzles and that we must have had a collision. This is a total lie and they also told the owner (John Evans) that we still had the engines running when he arrived out on a jet-ski to help us. Another total lie as we had killed the engines at first sign of smoke. To make a long story short, John Evans initally said that the damaged engine needed a new cylinder head gasket and the damage was worth $2, 500. They offered to cover the labour costs and asked us to pay $820 for parts which we were still pondering over when we discovered he had charged this amount to our Visa card and then he submitted a further claim the next day against our Visa card for 9, 000 for a new engine as he then said that the damage was worse than earlier feared. Of course, we disputed the charge with Visa and the account was frozen. We only had a signed contract for the first boat (Cape Craft) and not the second one. When the Hyatt hotel emailed me documents on our return home, Old Town Tours had altered the name on the contract to the AR230. We believe Visa will make a decision on whether to make these payments later this week and we are simply looking for any information on John Evans or these 2 companies to submit to Visa to help with our case. We are convinced that this is a setup and that altering the contract documents as well should help in our favour. We Googled John Evans and his companies and it would appear that the first owner of the boat that you were scammed into buying, Robert in Ohio, has commented on most of the sites covering hotel reviews in Key West. This has sparked numerous counter-reviews and it all seems to be very trite and juvenile so these reviews won't be much of a help to us, we feel. I apologise for troubling you with this issue but would really welcome any assistance that is possible including your comments on boat insurance in Florida which appears to be virtually non-existent. Regards Richard Kelly Dublin, Ireland

Robert Krutko said: "FIRST I HAVENT LOST A COURT CASE... SECOND THE COURTS WOULDNT ALLOW ME TO FIGHT THE CASE... I RESPONDED BUT THEY SAID I MUST HAVE LEGAL REPRESENTATION... I WOULDNT CALL THAT A LOSS I WOULD CALL IT THE PRIDE OF THE AMERICAN COURT SYSTEMS.." First off, all I can say is "Wow." How does one argue with this kind of intellect? Federal Case 07-cv-60001, Southern District of Florida, states that you were given until a certain date to RESPOND (June, 2007 I believe). Furthermore, the records state that you DID have legal representation, but they dropped you because you wouldn't even respond to them. This is all in public record. Anyone with a PACER account can look this up and verify it is true. Well Robert, where is that boat now? Martin County Florida case, Peter Schmidt/United Yachts v. Robert Krutko, 432008CA000313CA (08000313CA), states that it took several months to have the subpoena served to you. When the subpoena was finally served, you were given to a certain date to RESPOND. You never did, forcing the Judge to make a default judgment AGAINST you. This info can be looked up by anyone for free by going to the Martin County Clerk of Courts website. So Robert, why have you stopped slandering United Yachts? Monroe County Court case, Robert Krutko v. John Evans/Old Town Tours, CAK080000679, You finally filed a suit against someone you were slandering. But according to the court records, you never even responded to your own suit after having filed it. It was dismissed. Hello, of course you need to have legal representation if you do not plan on showing up to your own hearings. Duh! Don't even get me started on your Franklin County cases and the home foreclosure here in the Keys. So despite all this, you claim "FIRST I HAVENT LOST A COURT CASE." Sad.

Why have you stopped slandering the government officials that deemed everything was done correctly? Threatened with a suit there too? And why do you keep alleging that others agree with you when there is no one that does? Why do you talk to yourself through different screen names? When are you finally going to accept the summons and appear in court? Please provide proof of your fraudulent allegations that I have different screennames (unlike your dumbass that does and signs 'robert' to them you loser) and that I post on sites all over the internet. Much like your boyfriend, proven fraud, charles, you can't and is just one of your many, many lies on this site. You really are not as important in the scheme of life as you seem to think. That's why your bogus claims are unfounded and no one takes your lies seriously. I have no need to follow you over the internet....I debunk your claims right here. Why does the price of the canoe in question keep changing? That's another lie you've been throwing around for awhile. And why are you 'busting' yourself?

READ ABOUT JOHN EVANS CROOK- HERES A POST IN THE (((Redacted))) Jet Skiing, Key West beware!!" Old Town Tours KANEY1979 NottinghamNov 26, 2007 3/3 found this review helpful I have just arrived home from a great trip to Key West, FL, but feel obliged to tell you all, at all costs avoid the jet skiing which can be found at 0 Duval Street, (Old Town Tours). The jet skiing was fun and fast, however be warned that you may be conned in to paying for damages that you have not caused. My party of four were accused of having a collision that DEFINITELY DID NOT OCCUR. We obviously refuted the claim, however the staff were rude and ignorant, basically accusing us of lying, although they have no proof of a collision and who may have been involved. They charged $200 to a credit card of one of my party, and not even the credit card of the person riding the specific ski they found fault with. This was after telling us, one of us should 'FESS UP'. We only found out who rode that ski when later looking at photos and camera footage. There was also no communication in relation to how much would be charged. We had to challenge them for that information. The fault, apparently, was a very small patch of flakey paint above the thick rubber bumper at a rear corner. NO SCUFF MARKS, NO DENTS AND NO CRACKS, and NO damage to any other ski. The damage could not have been caused by a collision, it was nothing more than wear and tear. This was exacerbated by the staff who began picking at it and who also rode the skis very fast themselves around the small docking area in order to dock them once we had handed them over. There are plenty of other jet skiing locations, I suggest you try one of them. This review is the subjective opinion of a (((Redacted))) member and not of (((Redacted))). sorry, allowing you to give a competitors name would instigate others to just file against their competition, to only come back later to suggest their company your comments on this policy are welcome!

NATIONAL MARINERS CONFIRM FLORIDA POLICE INCOMPETENCY....

Sat, February 07, 2009

NATIONAL MARINERS ASSOCIATION AGREE OF INCOMPETIENCY IN FLORIDA LAW ENFORCEMENT... My name is Richard A. Block and I am Secretary of the National Mariners Association. I was contacted several years ago by Mr. Kxxxx who reported his documented small passenger vessel was stolen, damaged, and sold without his permission in Monroe County, Florida. Our Association, which speaks on behalf of about 126,000 "lower-level" mariners throughout the United States who operate vessels like Mr. Kxxxx's. We became interested in his case and carried an article in our Newsletter in March 2007 (attached). We also reported this case to investigators from the Department of Homeland Security and saw to it that Robert reported it to the Seventh Coast Guard District in Miami, FL. Since then, I have been in constant touch with Mr. Kxxxxx and find it incomprehensible that after the number of public officials that he has contacted in every conceivable branch of State government, that the State of Florida and/or its political sub-divisions appear to be incapable of bringing this matter to a successful conclusion.

Jet Skiing, Key West beware!! Old Town Tours KANEY1979 NottinghamNov 26, 2007 3/3 found this review helpful I have just arrived home from a great trip to Key West, FL, but feel obliged to tell you all, at all costs avoid the jet skiing which can be found at 0 Duval Street, (Old Town Tours). The jet skiing was fun and fast, however be warned that you may be conned in to paying for damages that you have not caused. My party of four were accused of having a collision that DEFINITELY DID NOT OCCUR. We obviously refuted the claim, however the staff were rude and ignorant, basically accusing us of lying, although they have no proof of a collision and who may have been involved. They charged $200 to a credit card of one of my party, and not even the credit card of the person riding the specific ski they found fault with. This was after telling us, one of us should 'FESS UP'. We only found out who rode that ski when later looking at photos and camera footage. There was also no communication in relation to how much would be charged. We had to challenge them for that information. The fault, apparently, was a very small patch of flakey paint above the thick rubber bumper at a rear corner. NO SCUFF MARKS, NO DENTS AND NO CRACKS, and NO damage to any other ski. The damage could not have been caused by a collision, it was nothing more than wear and tear. This was exacerbated by the staff who began picking at it and who also rode the skis very fast themselves around the small docking area in order to dock them once we had handed them over. There are plenty of other jet skiing locations, I suggest you try one of them. This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

Why haven't you sued them and the alleged government officials that you continue to slander if you are right? Why have you stopped slandering the government officials that deemed everything was done correctly? Threatened with a suit there too? And why do you keep alleging that others agree with you when there is no one that does? Why do you talk to yourself through different screen names? When are you finally going to accept the summons and appear in court? Why do you keep refusing to answer someone inthe general public that you are allegedly trying to warn?

If you read some of Robert's other diatribes, you'll see he claimed to have recorded conversations over a year ago. Furthermore, he's been saying for over a year that he was going to "upload" the conversations and police reports. I have yet to see a single one. In fact, I have yet to see Robert actually follow through with any of his claims. This is an outright challenge to Robert. Let's see it. Enough with the lies. Either put up or shut up.

-----Original Message----- From: ------------ Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2007 10:04 AM To: -------, Lisa Subject: Re: Attn. Art --------- Thank you for taking the time to explain my questions. It is great to have people like you willing to help the public understand the laws. So just for my understanding of our conversation, If John Doe owns a marina and asks me to go reclaim/repossess a vessel for him because someone left his marina without paying I would need a license to do this because I am not a regular employee of that person? If the vessel was reclaimed for a fee without a license I believe you said that person would be a guest of the Florida prisons correct? Is there a difference between reclaim and repossess? Would a repossess /reclaim be able to be done without a license though if that person owning the marina has a lien? ANSWER..... In answer to your questions. 1) Yes. You would become a guest of the Florida prison system. 2) No. There is no difference between the two under Chapter 493, Florida Statutes 3) No. That is a civil matter between the marina and the owner of the vessel. This should be done through the court and would be done by the Sheriff's Office in that jurisdiction. I hope this has satisfactorily answered your questions.

Ocean Key Resort marina lease may soon be gone....

#31Author of original report

Sun, May 04, 2008

As many of you have written asking about the lease at the marina where John Evans stole yacht I will explain more. John Evans hydro thunder Key West is a tennant of ocean key resort marina. The lease held by Ocean Key resort is a sub lease they hold with the state of Florida. The states lease clearly does not allow criminal activitys. I have confirmed this and am assured the state will go for the lease removal if any criminal activities were determined to be done by any court. John Evans was hired to go take the yacht in which he recieved a fee for repossessing and does not hold a repossession license in Florida. The fee he charged was done on his company invoice in which i have a copy of. Besides that he lied to state police and a u.s. navy engineer whom i have their statements. Because he was hired by ocean key resort if john is found guilty this would mean the hotels actions were illegal and we will move for immediate removal of the lease. We are 101% sure evans will be found guilty of illegal acts and thank the many people from around the country for their support. As of today the lawsuit filed which is posted in previous post has been put on the monroe county clerks website. As everyone knows ignorance is no excuse of the law. Evans knowingly lied to police in order to take yacht. more to come.....

#32Author of original report

Sat, May 03, 2008

JOHN EVANS PRESIDENT OF HYDRO THUNDER KEY WEST IS A THIEF. THE ABOVE CASE WAS FILED THIS WEEK AND I WANT TO THANK ALL THE SUPPORTERS WE HAVE. I WOULD ASK EVERYONE TO FOLLOW THIS CASE. 100% OF ALL ATTORNEYS THROUGHOUT FLORIDA HAVE CONFIRMED A CRIME WAS COMMITTED. ALSO THE STATE D.E.P. WHICH HOLDS THE BAY BOTTOM LEASE FOR THE MARINA AT OCEAN KEY RESORT HAS CONFIRMED THEY DO NOT SUPPORT ANY ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES ON A TENNANTS PROPERTY WHAT SO EVER. OCEAN KEY RESORT HIRED JOHN EVANS TO TAKE THE YACHT IN WHICH WE HAVE THE INVOICE FOR. THIS SAID, WHEN JOHN EVANS IS FOUND GUILTY, THE HOTEL WILL LOSE THE LEASE AS WE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE STATE AND WILL PUSH FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. ALSO JOHN EVANS IS A TENNANT IN THE HYATT MARINA KEY WEST WITH HIS JET SKI BUSINESS AND WE ARE ALSO VERY CONFIDENT THE HYATT WILL REMOVE HIM AFTER WE GET THE GUILTY VERDICT. TO SHOW EVERYONE HOW BRIGHT JOHN EVANS IS... THE DAY HE WENT 24 MILES UP THE COAST TO STEAL THE YACHT A STATE F.W.C. OFFICER WAS ON THE SCENE ( WE HAVE HIS REPORT) JOHN EVANS TOLD HIM " HE " OWNED THE YACHT AND A BUYER HE HAD FOR THE YACHT MISSED HIS LAST FEW PAYMENTS AND JOHN TOLD THE OFFICER HE BELIEVED THOSE WERE THE PEOPLE WHO STOLE THE YACHT". 50 YARDS FROM THAT OFFICER WAS A U.S. NAVY ENGINEER( NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE HIS STATEMENT HE PHOTOGRAPHED EVANS TAKING YACHT) EMPLOYEE WHOM EVANS TOLD HIM HE WAS THE OWNER AND THAT A DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYEE OF HIS THAT HE FIRED LEFT WITH " HIS" YACHT THE DAY BEFORE WHEN HE FIRED HIM. THE F.W.C. OFFICERS SUPERVISOR ( WHOM WE HAVE HER REPORT) SPOKE TO EVANS WEEKS LATER ABOUT THE SITUATION AND HE TOLD HER " A THEFT REPORT WAS FILED ON HIS YACHT" WITH THE KEY WEST POLICE DEPARTMENT WHICH SHE VERIFIES NEVER HAPPENED. I ASSURE EVERYONE 100% EVANS WILL BE FOUND GUILTY OF CONVERSION/THEFT AND I WILL PUSH IMMEDIATELY FOR THE STATE TO REMOVE THE MARINA LEASE FROM OCEAN KEY RESORT AS THEY WERE THE ONES THAT HIRED EVANS. I AGAIN THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS SUPPORTED US AND THE STATE D.E.P. FOR WORKING CLOSE WITH US. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE HIGHEST IN COMMAND WITH THE D.E.P. SEVERAL TIMES ASSURED EVERY TIME THE STATE WILL NOT TOLERATE ILLEGAL ACTIONS WITH THEIR BAY BOTTOM TENNANTS. I WILL KEEP EVERYONE POSTED AND AS OF THIS MONDAY THE MONROE COUNTY COURTS ASSURE ME THE SUIT WILL BE ON THEIR WEB SITE SO EVERYONE CAN FOLLOW. ALSO FOR THOSE INTERESTED THE OCEAN KEY RESORT WAS FINED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR THEIR MARINA VIOLATIONS WHICH MYSELF AND THE CONCERNED CITIZENS OF KEYY WEST BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION. I UNDERSTAND THE STATE HAS DRAWN UP AN AGREEMENT THAT THEY MUST FOLLOW ALONG WITH THEIR FINES. THE AGREEMENT I UNDERSTAND FROM SOURCES INSIDE OCEAN KEY RESORT ALSO THEY MUST CONFIRM THERE WERE/ARE NO ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES GOING ON. WE ALL KNOW THERE WAS, AND I ALSO INTEDND ON SUBPOENAING STEVEN BOSWELL WHOM ORDERED JOHN EVANS TO GO TAKE YACHT WHICH WAS THE MANAGER OF THE OCEAN KEY RESORT AT THE TIME. TO READ MORE ON BOSWELL GO TO WWW/DOT/STEVENBOSWELL/DOT/COM COMMON SENSE SAYS THIS _ IF EVANS AND OCEAN KEY RESORT WAS DOING THEIR TAKING OF THE YACHT LEGALLY WHY LIE TO STATE POLICE OFFICERS AND A U.S. NAVE ENGINEER WHOM PHOTOGRAPHED THE WHOLE THING PLUS SPOKE TO EVANS WHEN HE ARRIVED TO STEAL THE YACHT.

First of all we will show your a d**n liar. The poster as you can see is from key west and i would bet hes a friend of john evans. The owner of the business doesnt have a brother. So that was a good try moron. The other part to this is the guy that ran the business was gay so i dont think he was allowing CHICKS to go for free. What their not telling you and anyone can research this on the internet, the owner being from out of state was a tennant of the marina and was promised a lease but never got one. he also had a 49 passenger vessel which the city forced him to run only 24 passengers. one of the big local bubbas in town (fury) wanted his sopt and had been negotiating behind their backs with hotel and pulling strings with city officials. As soon as the city with their false local statutes forced him out of business the big fury bubbas come right in. now anyone can call the city occupational license department office and verify this. the fury (believe it or not) come right in the same slip and was immediately allowed 78 passengers and were told it has been raised even higher. thats 300 % capacity ratio,same spot,same city ordinances. you ask... how does one boat owner in the same business as the fury get only 24 passenger license and the fury get 78 and now even more? its simple the city breaks laws for certain local business owners and have been for years. anyone can also verify this by googling DUCK TOURS. The city doing the same thing forced this man out of business and lost as 13.5 million dollar lawsuit. Suit was just filed on the city by my family for the illegal b.s. and we will keep everyone up to date. Also please research what ive written and you can get a copy of my vendors license (reef cat) and get a copy of the furys license and see the difference. Obviously these people are so desperate they have morons like the one posting above lying and looking like a dumbass but thats typical key west.

I am just a guy that saw this whole thing go down as a by stander. Robert is it not true that you purchased this business for your brother in-law to run? Well he ran it! right into the ground. I watched it happen. He would schedule a trip to the reef and show up one or more hours late while customers canceled. I saw this happen on numerous occasions. Also brother would let chicks go for FREE, thats good business right? He had little if any skills in business operation. so instead of blameing others for your mistake why dont you step up to the plate and admit that if you would have checked up on brother a bit more you may still be running that boat. You had a PRIME location. just my opinion.

Mr. Krutko's boat (who I have never met) had been anchored in Cudjoe Bay, broke anchor and was drifting towards my boat and dock. The phone number printed on the side of the boat was not a working phone number. I contacted the Coast Guard and the Marine Patrol/FWC. One of the 2 agencies (I cant remember which) recognized the name of the boat and told me it was usually docked at the Ocean Key Resort and I should contact them. Both agencies stated if I towed the boat to deeper water to secure it I would then be held responsible if it broke anchor again. I called the Ocean Key House and was transferred to John Evans who was very excited I had found His boat. He told me a disgruntled employee had disappeared along with the boat. I left work early and when I arrived home I believe there was a FWC boat, a Law Enforcement boat and a Sea Tow Inflatable near my dock. The two larger vessels "escorted"/ "sandwiched" the vessel in question to deeper water minutes before the vessel would have come in contact with mine. As they were reaching deeper water I saw another boat with a driver and passenger approaching the scene. One of the men boarded the vessel and eventually started the engines. He yelled to me He was John Evans and He told me to come down to the Ocean Key House for a free dinner on the resort as a reward for finding the boat. I told Him there was no need for the reward I was just happy He recovered His boat and there was no damage to my property. On 1/12/07 John Evans contacted me again asking more information about the incident saying the FWC stated they were never on the scene. I said that was crazy and I had photo's proving it. I burned a disc and gave it to John who then insisted my wife and I go and have a free dinner. We did go have a great meal on 1/31/07. All my photo's have now been provided to John Evans, Robert krutko and Charles Tunnicliff (850 4879656) of the Dept. of Business and Professional Regulations.

The state Department highway safety motor vehicles has went on record saying the taking of a yacht under statute 328.17 that was not in your posession is theft. Evans who made a trip 23 miles away for marina management not only took the yacht illegally but lied to two state police officers while doing so. i recieved a copy of the state police officers reports and evans clearly told both of them he owned yacht. Besides that a cudjoe resident who witnessed evans getting yacht gave a statement to state investigators last week when he called hotel to see if they knew who owned yacht they quikly transferred him to john evans. Evans told the neighbor ( us navy employee) he owned yacht and he fired a disgruntled employee the day before and when he wasnt looking the employee took his yacht (evans) and he had been looking for it. I have the police reports showing evens lied which i will post on here in the next couple days. I will have the navy mans statement as soon as the investigation is over. John evans as i have said has lied, falsified information,and illegally took a yacht( the state now verifies this). The lieutenant with the state police who looked into this matter several months after her officer gave evans the yacht says evans told her him and boswell filed a police report with key west police department the boat was stolen from marina. She then goes on to say after talking to evans i called key west police to verify his claim of boat theft report and none was filed( i also have key west police department letter sayting a theft was never filed on yacht nor was anything filed by boswell or evans relating to a stolen yacht). This thief is someone i would advise anyone not to deal with. I hope someone in the state wakes up soon and charges evans and hotel with the theft of yacht. I will update as more becomes available.

And anyone Googleing your name can see the corruption in you. What's your point? By the way, it's only the facts people are interested in, and I've noticed you can't dispute any of the facts I pointed out. Say what you want, but you can't cover up your numerous inconsistencies and the readers can see that. All you do is respond by saying people are "friends" or people are trying to cover things up. Yet, you have not been able to dispute one single accusation against you. It's very simple. You couldn't hang with the big boys, and you screwed up your business. It doesn't take a Masters Degree to figure out you need to pay your bills. I'll tell you right now, I'm familiar with everyone you've complained about because I'm in the business. Do you really think the readers of your endless rants are going to believe that dozens of people and businesses, and different levels of local, county, state, and federal government all got together and decided to conspire against someone like you? You must realy think the readers on this website are stupid.

As everyone can see by the several people i have exposed on the internet Key West hates when they get exposed to the world for their wrong doings. I would also bet like most responses with bogus names on here these are people who are associated with the people ive exposed. good try dan (or whatever your name really is) Anyone can clearly see the corruption in key west and the keys by googleing. These people want you to believe this kind of stuff never happens. Robert

Let's just set a couple things straight......things that I am able to prove, unlike the author. 20 MONTHS of missed dockage fees equaling $60,000 for a derelict boat tied to their property pretty much meets the definition of abandoned. Krutko did NOT file a lawsuit against the Ocean Key House, like he is claiming. It is the other way around. The Ocean Key House filed on him and he is trying to counter-sue with a frivolous claim. Four law enforcement agencies, the District Attorney, and State Investigators agreed this was not a Theft issue. Is the whole world conspiring against Krutko? I think not.

Shannon Malcom News-Leader 904-261-3696 ext. 232 904-261-3698 fax [email protected] Smooth sailing, except boat was stolen property Shannon Malcom News-Leader As owner and operator of Amelia River Cruises and Charters, Amelia Island resident Kevin McCarthy has had a dream job for the last six years, but he inadvertently cruised into a nightmare last October when he learned he'd spent thousands on a boat that couldn't legally be sold. McCarthy estimates he lost about $20,000 when he became embroiled in a legal battle between a Key West hotel and the owner of the 45-foot Corinthian Catamaran he tried to buy. For McCarthy, the situation began about two years ago when he decided his business had grown enough to justify buying another vessel, and he started doing research on passenger boats for sale throughout the state. He located the boat he wanted, docked at the Ocean Key Resort Hotel, in October and purchased it for $71,000. McCarthy said the hotel's attorney told him the boat, previously owned by Robert Krutko of Columbus, Ohio, had been abandoned and was being sold to cover dockage fees. "I did call the hotel that morning to make sure everything was on the up and up," McCarthy recalled. "They said yes, and said they'd had no recent contact with the former owner, so I bought the boat." After spending about $20,000 for general maintenance to the boat, McCarthy and his wife prepared to bring it home to Fernandina Beach. "I filled it up with fuel, and got ready to bring it back," he said. They're sailing trip didn't make it past the very southern tip of Florida before both engines on the boat failed. While he was being towed to land, McCarthy received a phone call from Krutko on his cell phone. "He told me I was on a stolen vessel," McCarthy recalled. "An hour before, everything was fine ... then the engines fail, and I find out the boat isn't mine." After checking with two maritime attorneys, one in Miami and one in Jacksonville, McCarthy learned the sale had not been legal. According to McCarthy and Krutko, an employee of the hotel had hotwired the boat and sailed it away from Krutko's home in the Keys. Krutko is currently suing the hotel for what he believes was the theft of his boat; the hotel is suing Krutko for $61,000 in dockage fees he says he doesn't owe. Regardless of the ultimate outcome of those lawsuits, authorities and attorneys agreed that McCarthy's purchase of the boat wasn't legal. He returned the boat immediately; he said it's now being held in Ft. Lauderdale. "After about three weeks of legal wrangling, they paid me back the $71,000," he said. "But overall, I'm still out about $20,000." Now he is awaiting the outcome of Krutko's case against the hotel to decide if he will also file suit against the hotel. But throughout the ordeal, McCarthy and Krutko became friends, and Krutko said what happened to McCarthy - who's been familiar with the boating business all of his life - could happen to anyone. "It's very important to do the right checking ... the best suggestion would be to pay a maritime attorney before the purchase to do a search and look over any deals on that boat," he said. "... Just protect yourself as best you can." Although McCarthy lost, at least for the time being, thousands of dollars and two months of time he would have been spending on his business, he did purchase another boat nearly identical to the first and is moving forward. And each men made a new friend. "I look forward to meeting him and his wife in person and taking them out to dinner," Krutko said. "Out of all this rain and stormy weather I've been through, I got a new friend out of the deal." [email protected]
