Robert and Peter both acted like fools on this site. Besides working this complain out peter chose to act childish. It doesn't matter If he has won the court case buy how he acts on this site will scare of future custormers, who do have a yacth. Then us readers have to put up with the bitching & bickering from these two crackheads. Peter & robert are both guilty but businesses who have complaints filed agaisnt them rather sue the custormer rather then work out the problem!. Good businesses resolve complaints with custormers. I know which business to stay away from when they start acting like this. Its all childish behavior!.

Robert, retiredshrimper, anonymous and many other assumed names as everyone knows is Robert Krutko. Robert has made a number of claims over the past year and slandered many people and companies, all because he blames everyone but himself for his problems. Basically, Robert failed to respond properly to a marina where he kept his dive boat, when they demanded payment for back dockage. The boat was eventually auctioned off. One common thread is the Robert has lost in court and lost every ruling, where he demanded investigations. The bottom line is that Robert didn't handle his problems properly. Recently United Yacht Sales won a court decision against Robert, by default. Robert didn't even show up after months of saying that he couldn't wait to get United Yacht Sales in court. Now the judge has even ordered him to explain why he should not be held in contempt of court. So much for Robert seeking justice. He won't even show up. Robert is now on an unbelievable anti United Yacht compaing on craigs list, posting dozens of times each day. The comments are disgusting and inappropriate, as well as out and out libel, which is what he has already be charged with and lost in court. He is now even attacking brokers in general, telling the public they are all bad. His efforts are obvious. He wants the yacht brokerage community to put pressure on United Yacht Sales to deal with Robert. The only way United Yacht Sales can deal with Robert is to pay him off, which we will not do, ever. Yes Robert has demanded big $ for his silence. What Robert doesn't realize is that his constant attacts on everyone involved in his problems is causing a backlash. His rambings are often times incoherent and what he offers up as the truth is so far removed from what actually happened it is absurd. His primary claim is that his boat was stolen and that many people agree with him. The fact is that no one that knows about his situation agrees with his claim. He only quotes (and even posts tape recordings) people who were not given the facts or knew anything about his situation. A Federal court even ruled against Robert, yet he continues on slamming people. The other brokers who he is attacking and calling with threats have called us and offered us their support. They know exactly what is going on. If they don't know, when they are told what has and is happening they are totally supportive. Cyber stocking and extortion are becoming a real problem in the new world of the Internet. This particular web site and others are part of the problem, as are the authorities who can't figure out what to do about it. First ammendment rights (freedom of speach) is the defense, but when does that infridge on other's rights to be pretected from defamation and libel. United Yacht wins its case, but the libel continues because the court can not prevent someone from using their freedom of speach in the future. It's a real problem for our society and unfortunately for us right now. All we can do is put the truth out there and let people decide for themselves. We do have a web site that adresses this with some specific rulings against Robert's claims. Take a look at United Yachts . us / all one word if you are interested. In the mean time we look forward to hearing from Robert, Retiredshrimper, anonymous, anonymous broker...... whatever you call yourself the next time. It's obvious when you post something and its even more obvious that you have no morals and don't respect the truth or our system of justice.

Everyone can see this broker and his sales person broke the law. For over a year he's been saying his company wasnt involved and now says they were? Police in Monroe County confirm felon theft. Boat Brokers all over Florida confirm ILLEGAL. LOOKS LIKE THIS MAN HAS MORE THAN PROVEN HIS CASE.... ALL EVERYONE HAS TO DO IS GOOGLE SOULCAST UNITED YACHTS AND SEE THE TRUTH.

Robert, you can change your name all you want, but you can't seem to change your horrible grammar. Every time to type, you are signing your low level of education to your posts. Anyone can see "Anonymous" is you. So, as the others have asked, why haven't you sued after over two years?

As a person who has sold a few boats myself this broker screwed up. In no way can this salesman accept a commission as a buyers agent and not be a broker. The public can see cleary these people broke the law and should actually be in jail. I have contacted brokers I know all over Florida and all confirm this was illegal. The sad part is this brokerage had a contract to sell the boat owners vessel and went behind their own customers back and took part in this stolen boat sale. The buyer they represented has also verified this was illegal and they even hid the vessel from it's owner. This is pathetic for anyone calling themselves a broker. It's also pathetic because obviously this broker is having friends and workers trying to discredit this familys story.

You actually have to have had a venture to then become 'retired'. Ha ha ha ha. But seriously, why haven't you actually sued them? I really don't care what phony bog and pony show you claim to be a policeman. You are a proven liar many times over. Since you allegedly now have all these expert witnesses, it should be a slam dunk yet you cower in fear of receiving a summons and actually having this day in court to prove your case. When are you going to prove your false claim that you have someone who can confirm that Robert from Buffalo work for United Yacht? Why haven't you sued them? Why not? 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? Please provide proof of your fraudulent allegations that I have different screen names (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 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.

This John and his clan are to funny. How many fellow florida Yacht Broker Association members now says he broke law? Doesn't take a rocke scientist to see righ through this one. ANOTHER BROKER WHO IS ONLY A FEW MILES FROM UNITED YACHTS HEADQUARTERS NOT ONLY CONFIRMS ILLEGAL , HE SPOKE TO HIS ATTORNEY WHO CONFIRMED ILLEGAL. AND HE SAID THE BROKER LAWRENCE PIRRITINO WHO IS ONLY A SALES BROKER IS ILLEGAL IN OPENING A BROKERAGE UNDER ANOTHER NAME... In a message dated 8/18/2008 9:25:45 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, SEAMERICA writes: Robert, When we spoke to our attorney this morning he said you were correct. Under the Florida Law, a person that is purchasing a vessel over 33 feet and uses anyone other than a family member or friend that is not getting paid a fee must pay a commission to that person.

IT DOES MAKE SENSE WHAT YOUR SAYING ABOUT HAVING SOMEONE STAND IN FOR YOU AT AN AUCTION. I BELIEVE YOU ALSO SAID YOU AGREE IF I WAS TO HIRE JUST ANY PERSON TO STAND IN AT AN AUCTION AND PAY THEM A COMMISSION IT WOULD BE ILLEGAL UNDER THE FLORIDA YACHT AND SHIP BROKERS ACT CORRECT? I WANT TO MAKE SURE WERE LEGAL WHEN BUYING AND DONT WANT TO PAY SOMEONE TO STAND IN FOR ME AS A BUYERS AGENT WHOS NOT A BROKER AND BREAK THE LAW? ANSWER.... By the letter of the law, paying a commission to someone to act as your agent is illegal. I am not sure that the State would enforce such an action, unless a complaint was filed. Even then, it is the person acting as the agent who would be in trouble. However, if you are planning to use someone, it might as well be a licensed, competent broker who can insure that the transaction is handled properly and according to your wishes. For a reduced fee, I would be glad to act for you and assist you after the sale, both with paperwork and any improvements to the boat. Someday, you might want to sell it, so I look at it as an investment in time to building a relationship. If this is something to consider, please send me the details on the boat and let's work something out.

Craig, Thank you for taking the time to explain the questions i had for you. So what i understand from you is at a public auction if im going to purchase a boat at the auction(larger than 33 feet) and have someone stand in for me and pay them a commssion they must be a licensed broker or its illegal correct? Robert ANSWER... That is correct. The broker is "acting as agent" on behalf of the seller and must be a licensed Yacht & Ship Broker with the State of Florida. HERE IS ANOTHER QUESTION I FOLLOWED UP ON... From: wheezy9870 Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2008 18:35:42 -0400 To: Subject: Re: Public boat auction conversation... So, there is no exclusion of any sort in the yacht and ship brokers act that would allow for a non broker to represent at an auction what so ever? ANSWER..... If they are collecting a commission, no. CAN WELL SPELL IT ANY CLEARER???? ALL 100% OF FLORIDA YACHT BROKERS STILL CONFIRM ITS ILLEGAL... THANKS CRAIG TRAVIS FOR YOUR HONEST ANSWER. TO BAD THE GROUP YOU BELONG TO (F.Y.B.A.) AND CERTAIN BROKERS LIKE UNITED YACHTS CAN'T BE AS HONEST... CRAIG TRAVIS IS OWNER OF AFFINITI YACHT BROKERAGE IN FLORIDA.

Oh my gosh Robert, you are so dense. Everything you post is based on half truths told to those who will then respond in the manner that suits you and your cause. So let me take this opportunity to post some cold hard FACTS for you. This comes directly from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulations Yacht & Ship Section investigative report. I know you have a copy of it as DBPR sent it to you. And I quote from their conclusions: 'Although, Pirritino and McCarthy made an arrangement for Pirritino to stand in for McCarthy at the auction (for a fee), the vessel was sold by the resort (alleged owner), therefore the transaction was NOT A BROKERAGE TRANSACTION pursuant to Chapter 326, F.S. No violation of Chapter 326, F.S., was found.' End quote (I added the caps for emphasis). So let it be said again, loud and clear, so that you understand. PIRRITINO DID NOT REPRESENT A BROKER DURING THIS AUCTION (not a Sale, an Auction, big difference), HE REPRESENTED AN INDIVIDUAL FOR A FEE! THERE WAS NO CRIME COMMITTED! The DBPR report can be seen by anyone by going to unitedyachts dot us. By the way, I wonder how Mr Holmes will feel once he knows exactly who he was dealing with, and the fact that his private communication with you was posted on the internet on a public forum. Yes, that's right, I'm going to contact him and provide him the full details of your case. How nice of you to provide his personal contact information. I hope you've scrubbed enough toilets now to afford that high-priced lawyer that you're going to need. You just keep digging that hole deeper and deeper.

THIS JUST IN.. AGAIN ANOTHER FLORIDA YACHT BROKER CONFIRMS " IF YOU REPRESENT A BUYER AT AUCTION FOR A COMMISSION YOU MUST BE A BROKER" THEY ALSO CONFIRM ALL MONIES MUST GO INTO ESCROW.... From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2008 2:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: YACHT AUCTION Mr. Barton Holmes, Thank you for taking the time to clear the questions up I had for you. If the yacht is up for public auction and someone represents me for a commission and the yacht is over 33 feet they must be a broker is that correct? also if someone represents you the commission monies must also be put into escrow correct? Im glad i didnt have someone represent me who wasnt a broker because as you said that is illegal and the state would come down on them.? I will be in touch with you soon, please clarify the above so i can show my wife and she will understand better. And your sure a non broker cannot represent the buy for a commission? ANSWER..... It was a pleasure speaking with you, also. It is my understanding that in order to represent anyone's interest in the sale of a boat over 32', they must be a licensed yacht broker. When using a yacht broker, all funds are required to be held in escrow pending the completion of the sale. I would be happy to represent you and your interests in the auction of the Key West in the Fernandina Bch area. Our fee will be 3% of the sales price.

Mr Perrintino was told that he could not present an offer on the boat through the normal channels, but must participate in the auction. United Yacht Sales was not involved in the auction, did not present any offers and did not hold any money in escrow." VS "A United Yacht Sales broker represented the purchaser of the vessel at the auction at the request of the purchaser. IS THIS DUMBASS BUSINESS OWNER ON CRACK? HOW DOES ONE SAY THEIR COMPANY AND BROKERS WERE NOT PART OF THE SALE THEN SAY.. "A United Yacht Sales broker represented the purchaser of the vessel at the auction at the request of the purchaser. NOW HES SO DESPERATE, INSTEAD OF STANDING UP LIKE A MAN ADMITTING HIS MISTAKES HE LIES FOR MONTHS THEN PRINTS ON HIS OWN BLOG THEY WERE IN FACT TAKING PART IN THE SALE.. NOW HES TRYING TO SAY HE WAS EXTORTED WHEN HE WANTED TO SETTLE.... kim, to answer your b.s. question, i did not find out 2 days before the auction, the buyer was told about the sale then. we did not know until 2-3 weeks after sale when the coast guard documentation center told us they got a bill of sale on boat. if i would have known 2 days beofre sale it never would have happened.

I went and read the reports and all the evidence from the DBPR investigation. It is SO very clear what happened. Robert filed a foundationless complaint with the DBPR and they came back with "SORRY DUDE, NOBODY CHEATED YOU! Moral of the story: If I get in over my head and fail to meet obligations, the folks that I failed to pay will do bad things to me. Robert could not accept that he lost his boat to his own misfortune, so he attacked everyone else and obviously cares nothing about anything except his own pathetic ego. (NOT EVEN HIS OWN FAMILY OR HE WOULD NOT SET HIMSELF UP FOR JAIL TIME) Robert, grow some marbles, eat the pain of failure and stop trying to extort satisfaction from these people. GET A LIFE AND MOVE ON DUDE! Robert keeps talking about the Broker taking part in an illegal auction, the fact is that the Buyer and his representative bid and won the auction, without any knowledge of any improprieties, on the part of the Hotel. When it was determined that the Hotel did not do something right, both the buyer and his representative willingly actively and successfully worked to undo the transaction. Robert keeps talking about the Broker not telling him about the auction. The fact is, Robert knew about the auction. If the auction was handled incorrectly, file against the Hotel. Although it is clear that that was resolved because in the end, the Hotel got the boat. (WITH COURT APPROVAL) Ps, I will type slow so you can understand me. YOU ARE BREAKING MANY LAWS HERE. JUST BECAUSE NOBODY HAS ARRESTED YOU YET, DOES NOT MEAN THEY WON'T. STOP ALL OF IT. NOW THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE WARNED YOU, IGNORANCE WILL NOT WORK TO EVEN MAKE A JUDGE FEEL SORRY FOR YOU! FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR FAMILY, TAKE IT ALL DOWN AND TRY SOMETHING ELSE. YOU CAN NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS. IF NOTHING ELSE, THINK OF YOUR FAMILY AND STOP OR YOU WILL END UP IN PRISON. Don't apologize, don't admit guilt, just take it down and go away!

Oh, and I concur with the remarks about the recorded telephone call. I hope you had the permission of all parties to make that recording. IF you didn't have concent of all parties to the call, Florida statutes allow for criminal penalties and civil lawsuits against you. Further, Ohio statutes allow for civil and criminal penalties even though consent of all parties is not required. Additionally, Ohio statutes allow for ADDITIONAL PENALTIES for making disclosing or making public the information contained in the call. Seems to me you're gonna need a few more lawyers there Bucko.

John, I see your postings and it's obvious you either work for the individuals being reported or are friends of them. You have been making statements for months all over the internet trying SOOOOOOOOOOOOO hard to discredit this man for his exposing these criminals. I do believe though some people have had their doubts like I did. But after seeing the Sheriffs report calling this civil and hearing the taped calls of police from around Florida there is no doubt this family has been a victim. The sheriff deputy that filed the report made a serious mistake especially when their own detective of twenty two years confirms 100% this was a grand theft and the marina people had a civil matter. The marina clearly took the law into their own hands and stole this mans yacht. The Yacht Broker that represented this man as their broker clearly went behind his back and broke the law. Everyone now has clear proof the laws were broken and these people need prosecuted. I do feel sorry for you John because you either have a bad employer or bad friends. My advice either way is tell them they have been exposed for the crooks and lawbreakers they are. Robert you have spent months on this and I was unsure as I sat back and followed your postings. I'm 100% sure now after hearing all the police departments say it's a crime, you have been telling the truth. I have let everyone I know about your web site and any friends with boats not to deal with United Yacht Sales. Great job on your police recoreded tapes, you proved your case 100%.

If this is the same character from Ohio, he had a boat with an enormous amount of back storage due. Apparently, the boat yard tried repeatedly to contact the owner including with registered mail. Then the Coast Guard stepped in and authorized an auction with the proceedes going to the yard to clear up the sale.. The former owner was sore about it and started to slander the broker and United Yacht Sales in every web site he could. United Yacht has been exonerated and he was removed from most of the sites. Our guess is that he has started up again and may be using a new email address. At any rate, I sure appreciate your input and will forward your links to our office in Stuart Florida.

I check with your State's Secretary of State shows these two businesses as no longer registered. However, your Special K Investments IS still registered. You DO know that you're required to keep your contact information up-to-date with the Secretary of State Office, don't you? Let's not forget about the foreclosure of a property in Florida either. Somehow, I suspect the only "inside sources" you hear from are the voices in your head.

PETER SCHMIDT, HIS FRIENDS AND BROKERS HAVE BEEN POSTING ALL ALONG LIKE OUTSIDE PEOPLE READING THIS STORY. WHEN THE EVIDENCE GOT TO BE TO MUCH HE FILED A BOGUS LAWSUIT TO TRY AND SHUT ME UP. THEN HE ALLOWS HIS BROKERS TO MAKE FALSE STATEMENTS TO POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS AS IF THEY WON A LAWSUIT??? THEN LIED ABOUT THE U.S. COAST GUARD??? AND MANY OTHER VERY FUNNY FALSE STATEMENTS WHICH I HAVE RECORDED. IF YOUR GOING TO BUY OR SELL A YACHT WOULD YOU WANT SOMEONE TO HANDLE THE TRANSACTION THAT LIES? BREAKS LAWS? MAKES FALSE STATEMENTS? YOU DONT WANT TO USE THIS COMPANY... BUT IF YOUR LOOKING TO SELL A STOLEN YACHT OR SOMEONE WHO COMMINGLES MONEY UNDER THE TABLE THEN CALL PETER SCHMIDT UNITED YACHTS.

IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THROUGH POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS AND MY INSIDE SOURCE PETER SCHMIDTS BROKERS HAVE BEEN LYING TO THEIR CUSTOMERS IN ORDER TO GAIN BUSINESS FROM MY POSTINGS OF THEIR ILLEGAL ACTIONS. EVERYONE FOLLOWING THIS KNOWS PETER SCHMIDTS UNITED YACHTS ALONG WITH HIS BROKERS BROKE THE LAW, THE SAD PART IS THEY ARE LYING TO POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS IN ORDER TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK GOOD. AS WE ALL KNOW THE MARINA AUCTIONED OFF THE YACHT ILLEGALLY AND PETER SCHMIDT EVEN ADMITS THIS IN THIS BLOG. HIS BROKERS ARE TELLING EVERYONE THE U.S. COAST GUARD GAVE THE MARINA THE TITLE TO YACHT TO SELL FOR BACK MONIES OWED.( HELLOOOOOO) TOM THOMAS OF UNITED YACHTS RHODE ISALND ALSO SAYS UNITED YACHT WON A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE NUTCASE FROM OHIO.. (HELLOOOO, NO LAWSUT WON) READ HIS E MAIL TO ME AS HE THINKS IM A POTENTIAL CUSTOMER... ALSO OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE GOTTEN FALSIFIED STORYS FROM UNITED YACHT BROKERS SIMILAR TO THIS... Hi Bill, Thanks for the heads up. If this is the same character from Ohio, he had a boat with an enormous amount of back storage due. Apparently, the boat yard tried repeatedly to contact the owner including with registered mail. Then the Coast Guard stepped in and authorized an auction with the proceedes going to the yard to clear up the sale. . The former owner was sore about it and started to slander the broker and United Yacht Sales in every web site he could. United Yacht has been exonerated and he was removed from most of the sites. Our guess is that he has started up again and may be using a new email address. At any rate, I sure appreciate your input and will forward your links to our office in Stuart Florida. Meanwhile, I will try to find the information from our earlier confrontation with this guy and will send it along to you for your reading. Again, thanks for the heads up. I'll keep you informed of the progress. Tom "I am told that the United Broker involved represented a buyer and received a commission for his efforts" PETER SCHMIDT LIED TO D.B.P.R. OFFICIALS SAYING HIS BROKER DID THIS DEAL ON THE SAIDE AND NOT AS A BROKER?? THATS ILLEGAL BUT GOOD OLD TOM THOMAS OF UNITED YACHTS CONFIRMS AGAIN HE WAS A BROKER... *****PETER SHOULD TELL HIS BROKERS -IF WERE GOING TO LIE WE SHOULD ALL GET OUR STORIES STRAIGHT.... MORE TO COME PEOPLE, AVOID THESE CROOKS AND LIARS AT ALL COSTS OH YES AND REMEMBER MY POST ABOVE WHERE I COUGHT HIS BROKER LYING IN A SALES BROKER POSITION AD THE COMAPANY WAS DOING 300 MILLION A YEAR??? OH YES PETER IMMEDIATELY COME ON SAYING IT WAS A " MISTAKE" THESE PEOPLE ARE LIARS AND ANYONE LOOKING TO USE THIS COMPANY SHOULD STAY WAY CLEAR....

1. Contact the clerk of the circuit court, Marsha Ewing's office and confirm the filing of the lawsuit for yourself. 2. Stop this nonsense about the internet. You're gonna end up being some attorney's worse nightmare. There is a lawsuit filed against you and rather than check it out for yourself, you continue to blather while foaming at the mouth. It's gonna be very difficult for any attorney to successfully represent you when the time comes. And the time will come, because... 3. You CANNOT indefinitely avoid a judgment against you by avoiding service. Sooner or later, they court at Schmidt's urging WILL GRANT a summary ex parte judgment against you. All he has to do is prove to the court that due deligence and reasonable effort was taken to have you served and that you are actively avoiding service. NO COURT in the U.S will let that continue indefinitely. If a judgment is made, you're then more than likely going to see some nasty things happen to enforce the judgment: levy against bank accounts, liens against personal property that has value such as a home, auto, rv, boat, etc., garnished wages, tax returns levied, and so forth. Being in another state is no protection either. Once a circuit court judgment is made in Florida, it's a simple matter to either petition an Ohio court to enforce it or escalate it to Federal District Court. Either way, this nonsense will not go on indefinitely. Also, since there is a lawsuit filed, are you aware that the court can subpoena the records of ROR to determine the IP address, internet service provider, and the name and address for the internet account your making these blatherings from? Records can also be subpoenaed from the ISPs for the other websites you've established about this nonsense. A "domain by proxy" service isn't going to protect you. The HOSTING SERVICE records can be obtained by the court. Other records can be subpoenaed as well; DMV records, bank records, tax records, business records, etc. (shaking head) I can't comprehend why you continue as you are. Anyone with the proof you claim to have would WELCOME a day in court and countersue. The only thing that makes sense to me is that your juiced up with booze, drugs, or both when you make these blatherings.

The only phones call I ever made to Robert was to his hotel room after he had called my office shouting obscenities to my employees, which he had done on a number of occasions. My intent was simply to get him to tell us his room number so we could get him served. I have certainly never threatened Robert in any way. Robert has now apparently moved to a new address in the Columbus area, so we won't find him at the hotel, where he spend most of his time the last several months. We have no idea where he is. We have hired a PI to find and serve him, but we have few leads. We have no idea what he looks like or where he works, although we think he may work for a canteen / catering service. He may also own or did own a cleaning service called Mr. Powerwash, but we can't find any details on that, only some web comments about a Mr. Powerwash making some inappropriate comments on a Topix web site. We are asking for help from the readers of this web site. It would be much appreciated if someone would provide us with information on his whereabouts or a picture or discription of him. Or Robert, just provide us with your work location. You have my work location. All we want to do is get you served and get you in court.

It appears that Robert is afraid of a ligitimate court. This blog and other Internet sites are no place to find the truth. We have a legal system in this country. The first time I ever spoke with Robert on the phone he went off on me like a man possessed, making accusations and demands. His tone and his version of what happened was then and still is very disturbing. The phone conversation was going no where and there seemed little I could do other than admit some sort of guilt, so at that time I told Robert if he felt so confident that we were in the wrong that he should sue us. He did not and still has not. Robert decided that Internet blogging would be his tool to take out his anger. His Internet crusade against every one involved is ruthless. He is now using Ebay, Craigs list, and many other sites attacking us, not in an effort to promote the truth, but simply dole out punishment. Robert indicated several times in his statements that we would never sue him in fear that the truth would come out. Have have sued him and look forward to court, but we are having problems getting him served. Robert is making a concerted effort to avoid his day in court. He has even challenged me to serve him in person. I'm not legally authorized to serve anyone and if I were, should I bring along my six shooter for a show down. This is rediculous. Robert, tell us where you are and let the legal system do its job.

AS EVERYONE CAN SEE THIS SHOWS WHAT A DUMBA** PETER SCHMIDT IS AND A LIAR. PETER SAYS THEY WERE SHOWN A COPY OF A LIEN AND CERTIFIED LETTER? THE BOGUS PAPER THEY SAW WAS TYPED UP BY A CROOK ATTORNEY ALAN ECKSTEIN (FEEL FREE TO GOOGLE HIM) AND WAS A COPY OF A STATUTE HE AND HIS CROOK BUDDIES TRIED TO CLAIM. THE SAME CROOKS WHO LIED TO STATE POLICE AND A U.S. COAST GUARD EMPLOYEE WHEN HE STOLE THE YACHT. ALSO THIS STATUTE THEY TRIED TO CLAIM 328.17 MUST BE CERTIFIED IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE AUTHENTIC AND THIS MUST BE DONE BY THE STATE D.H.S.M.V. THIS WAS NEVER DONE BECAUSE IN ORDER FOR THE STATE TO CERTIFY LETTER THEY MUST HAVE A SIGNED LEASE WITH PROOF BACK MONEY IS OWED. IN THIS CASE THERE WAS NO LEASE AND NO PROOF JUST WORD OF MOUTH FROM A CROOK. THE STATE D.H.S.M.V. HAS CONFIRMED BY E MAILS WHICH I HAVE POSTED IN MY WB SITE BY SEVERAL EMPLOYEES IN THE CERTIFICATION AREA, THIS COULD NOT BE DONE WITHOUT A LEASE. THEREFORE ITS ILLEGAL( YES PETER SCHMIDT ADMITTED IT WAS DONE IMPROPER ABOVE) PETER SCHMIDT ADMITTED THIS IN HIS EARLIER POST THEN CHANGED HIS STORY LATER SAYING MONEY WAS OWED( WE CALL THAT SLANDER-LIBEL) HE HAS YET YO DATE BEEN ABLE TO PROVE ANY LEGAL LIENS ON THE VESSEL BUT THE SCUMBAG STILL RUNS HIS MOUTH THAT THERE WAS. KRUTKO DIDNT LOSE HIS CASE HE WAS UNABLE TO HIRE ATTORNEYS WHICH THE FEDERAL COURT SAID WAS NECESSARY AND WE ARE GETTING READY TO APPEAL THIS DECISION. MC CARTHY THE BUYER THEY LIED TO AND TOOK TO THE AUCTION HAS SAID IN SEVERAL LETTERS INCLUDING ONE TO GOVERNORS OFFICE HE WAS ALSO A VICTIM. MC CARTHY WHOM SENT PIRRITINO $7100 DOLLARS FOR COMMISSION WAS LIED TO AND THE BROKER HAD HIM SEND THE MONEY TO HIS PRIVATE ACCOUNT IN WHICH HE SPENT IT IMMEDIATELY BEFORE COAST GUARD DOCUMENTATION CENTER COULD SAY THE DEAL WAS ILLEGAL. THEN AFTER PROMISING MC CARTHY TO PAY BACK THE MONEY HE MADE ONE PAYMENY THEN NO MORE PAYMENTS OR WOULDNT RETURN CALLS TO MC CARTHY UNTIL I EXPOSED PETER SCHMIDT AND PIRRITINO THEN THEY WERE ON THE PHONE WITH MC CARTHY BEGGING TO GET PAYMENTS RE STARTED. THIS IS COMMON PRACTICE FOR SCHMIDT AND UNTED YACHTS AS THEY ALSO SCREWED ANOTHER CLIENT THEN BOUNCED A CHECK ON HIM OVER 3 YEARS AGO AND STILL HE HASNT SEEN A DIME. OH YES THIS WAS THE SAME CUSTOMER THEY GAVE A FALSIFIED MARINE SURVEY TO. PETER SCHMIDT IS TRYING TO SAY HIS COMPANY TOOK THE WORD OF SOMEONE WITH A COPY OF A STATE STATUTE AND BELIEVED HIS WORD? HMMMMMMMMMMM WE CALL THAT STUPIDITY UP NORTH.......... THEN WHAT HES LEAVING OUT IS THIS.. THREE MONTHS BEFORE THE TAKING OF THE YACHT UNITED YACHTS HAD A CONTRACT TO SELL THE YACHT FOR ME, THEY THEN KEPT ME UP TO DATE ON YACHT AND CONDITION WHILE THIEVES HAD IT, THEN JUST DAYS BEFORE THE AUCTION NOHING WAS BEING SAID ABOUT YACHT SO I CALLED THEM AND ASKED SEVERAL TIMES, "DID YOU HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT AN AUCTION OF MY YACHT"? BOTH BROKERS PIRRITINO AND RHODES SAID NO... EVEN AFTER THE AUCTION SEVERAL TIMES I SOKE TO BROKERS ASKING THEM DID YOU HEAR ANYHTING ABOUT A SALE??? BOTH SAID NO. WHEN IN FACT THEY TOOK PART IN IT. MCCARTHY THE BUYER SAID HE KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG WHEN AFTER THE SALE TWO WEEKS OR SO LATER HE MET WITH BROKER TO GO GET YACHT AND BROKER AND ATTORNEY HAD ADVISED HIM IN THE ATTORNEYS OFFICE" THE YACHT HAS BEEN HIDDEN IN AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION AND THE BROKER PIRRITINO WILL TAKE YOU TO GET IT?? THEN WE JUST FOUND OUT THE HIDDEN LOCATION WAS BEHIND JOHN EVANS HOUSE THE SAME GUY WHO RUNS THE JET SKI BUSINESS BEHIND HOTEL AND THE SAME GUY WHO LIED TO POLICE AND A US NAVE EMPLOYEEE ABOUT HIM OWNING YACHT. THE BROKER KNEW IT WAS HIDDEN, KNEW WE STILL OWNED THE YACHT BECAUSE JUST 2 DAYS PRIOR TO SALE HE GAVE MC CARTHY A PURCHASE AGREEMENT TO MAKE US AN OFFER THEN ALL THE SUDDEN THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE AN ATTORNEY GAVE HIM A COPY OF A STATUTE AND THEY BELIEVED IT. PETER SCHMIDT IS DUMBER THAN WE EXPECTED. HERES HOW WE KNOW SCHMIDTS A DA** LIAR... FIRST OFF IN HIS EARLY POSTS ABOVE HE CLEARLY ADMITS IT WAS DONE "IMPROPPER" THEN AFTER I EXPOSED HIM AND HIS COMPANY HE THEN GOES ALL OVER THE INTERNET SAYING " IF KRUTKO HAD PAID HIS BILLS" HES LYING TO TRY AND MAKE HIMSELF LOOK GOOD. HE KNOWS AND ADMITTED AND SPOKE TO MC CARTHYS ATTORNEY WHO TOLD HIM IT WAS VERY ILLEGAL. THEN THE COAST GUARD DOCUMENTATION CENTERS LEGAL STAFF RULED IT WAS ILLEGAL ALSO. SCHMIDT WANTS THE PUBLIC TO BELIEV HES A VICTIM OF THIS. WHEN IN FACT HES THE ONE WHO IS SLANDERING/LIBELING MY FAMILY DAY IN AND DAY OUT AFTER HE ADMITTED IT WAS DONE IMPROPPERLY. MC CARTHY ALSO WILL TELL ANYONE HE SAT IN ON THE D.B.P.R. AND THEIR CALLS TO ME DURING THE INVESTIGATION AND DURING THIS TIME THE D.B.P.R. CLEARLY DID NOT WANT TO HEAR THE EVIDNCE I HAD AGAINST SCHMIDT BECAUSE THEIR FRIENDS WITH HIM. MC CARTHY HAS CLEARLY STATED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THIS INVESTIGATION WAS NOT DONE IMPARTIALLY. ALSO AS FAR AS ECKSTEINS INVESTIGATION THE INVESTIGATOR DID CLEARLY FIND ECKSTEIN BROKE THE LAW AND SENT IT TO THE STATE ATTORNEYS OFFICE IN MONROE COUNTY FOR PROSECUTION. BUT BEFORE THE PROSECUTOR COULD LOOK AT IT THE ATTORNEY FOR THE D.B.P.R. YANKED THE FILE AND SAID " THE INVESTIGATOR MADE A MISTAKE"?????? HMMMM THIS WAS B.S AND ANYONE WANTING TO CHECK WITH MC CARHTY HE WILL VERIFY THIS. ITS AWFUL FUNNY HOW PETER SCHMIDT KEEPS BRINGING UP MC CARTHY THIS AND MC CARTHY THAT AND YET I HAVE YET TO SEE ONE LETTER FROM MC CARTHY TO ANYONE SAYING PETER SCHMIDT AND HIS BROKER DID EVERYTHING RIGHT. LETS TRY THIS AGAIN.... KEVIN MC CARTHY THE NAME PETER SCHMIDT KEEPS USING HAS NEVER GIVEN ANYONE A LETTER SAYING " UNITED YACHTS AND THEIR BROKER LAWRENCE PIRRITINO DID EVERYHTING RIGHT AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED.. IN FACT ITS BEEN THE OPPOSITE. KEVIN MC CARTHY HAS ADMITTED THE DEAL WAS DONE WRONG AND THEM NOT NOTIFYING THEIR OWN CLIENT BEFORE AND AFTER THE SALE SHOWS SOMETHING FISHY BETWEEN THE BROKER AND THE THIEVES WAS GOING ON. SO PETER SCHMIDT, GET A LETTER FROM MC CARTHY YOUR OWN CUSTOMER SAYING HE FEELS YOU DID EVERYHTING ABOVE BOARD AND THERE WAS NOTHING ILLEGAL HE THINKS YOU DID... ALSO MAKE SURE HE PUTS IN THE LETTER THE d.b.p.r INVESTIGATION YOU SPEAK SO HIGHLY OF WAS ALSO DONE PROPERLY??? THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. LETS TRY THIS AGAIN.. SO PETER SCHMIDT GET A LETTER FROM MC CARTHY YOUR OWN CUSTOMER SAYING HE FEELS YOU DID EVERYHTING ABOVE BOARD AND THERE WAS NOTHING ILLEGAL HE THINKS YOU DID... LIKE THE LIEN SCHMIDT LIED ABOUT , BECAUSE THERE NEVER WAS ONE I WILL BET THE FARM HE CANT GET A LETTER FROM MC CARTHY SAYING THIS BECAUSE MC CARTHY HAS ALREADY GIVEN SWORN STATEMENTS THAT I WAS WRONGED.. WERE WAITING PETER BOY,...... GET A LETTER FROM MC CARTHY SAYING THE FOLLOWING 1) HE FEELS UNITED YACHTS DID EVERYTHING UNDER THE LAW CORRECTLY AND THAT THE D.B.P.R. DID A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL INVESTIGATION??? THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN YOU SEE PETER SCHMIT SCUMBAG YOU CANT GET A LETTER FROM MC CARTHY YOUR OWN CLIENT SAYING YOU DID EVERYTHING ABOVE BOARD BECAUSE HE DOESNT BELIEVE YOU DID ALSO. HMMMMMMMMMMM OH YES AND ON THE ABOVE POSTS LETS NOT FORGET IT WAS PETER SCHMIDT WHO LIED AND SAID MC CARTHY ATTORNEY TOLD HIM THE YACHT WAS RE ARRESTED ETC. ETC. THE WHEN I CALLED HIM ON THE LIE HE SAID " OOPPPSS I MISUNDERSTOOD" WHEN MC CARTHY AND HIS ATTORNEY CAN TELL YOU IT WAS NEVER DISCUSSED HOW COULD IT BE UNDERSTOOD... WELL PETER BOY WE WILL WAIT FOR YOUR LETTER FROM YOUR OWN CUSTOMER SAYING YOUR COM[ANY DID EVERYTHING CORRET A FAR AS HE WAS CONCERNED AND THE D.B.P.R. INVESTIGATION WAS DONE FAIRLY...

Clearly the marina had a lien on your turd and it was settled when the marina sold it. Not too hard to figure out for any normal human being. 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?

Just prior to the auction of Krutko's vessel, salesman Pirritino and buyer McCarthy were shown a copy of a certified letter and a copy of a lien, by attorney Eckstein. Attorney Eckstein assured the parties of the validity of the upcoming auction along with presenting this documention that the vessel had been seized and would be auctioned off. These papers had been sent to Krutko (Reef Snorkkeling Adventures, Inc) and signed by Krutko. A passage from that certified letter reads, "Section 328.17 of the Florida Statues grants a prossessory lien upon your vessel to Seaboard Associates Limited Partnership for unpaid dockage fees. This lien is attached as of the date the vessel first occupied rental space at the marina. This statutory provision provides for nonjudical sale of your vessel to secure monies owed to my client. My client intends to sell your vessel ........etc." The lien was attached to the certified letter and both documents are now exhibits, and part of the investigation conducted by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. These documents are available through the DPBR case number. 2007 03 8311. The lien was granted in the US District Court Southern District of Florida in Admiralty Case No 07-60001. If anyone wants to see these documents they are available. The DPBR ruled on July 17, 2007 that United Yacht Sales nor Pirrintino did anything wrong and that Krutko's claims were baseless. After the auction many questions arose as to the validity of the lien and the auction. Frankly I don't know what to think, I'm not an attorney and no doubt attorney's would have differing opinions. I do know that Krutko eventually lost his case in Federal court with Seaboard and Seaboard was allowed to conduct another auction on the same vessel. I also know that buyer McCarthy got his money back from Seaboard and the salesman Pirrintino paid all the money back to McCarthy. United Yacht Sales never made a time on this. I also know that salesman Pirrintino and buyer McCarthy based their actions on the representation and the documents presented to them by attorney Eckstein. Attorney Eckstein has also been cleared by the DPBR and the state attorney's office of any wrong doing. So ....... that's what I know about a lien. By the way, I never wrote that United Yacht Sales did $300,000,000 in business. One of my brokers, who has an exclusive territory, was advertsing on craigs list for an employee and stated the incorrect figure. He has been made aware of his mistake. We all make them. I also know that Krutko does not have the right to slander, defame and commit libel on the Internet. Krutko has called me every name in the book and conducted his kangaroo court on the Internet. It's now time to go to court. Where are you Robert?

It's now time to go to court. Where are you Robert?

BUT AGAIN PETERS TRYING TO GET EVERYONE OFF THE QUESTION HES NEVER ANSWERED... "" It's not a fake website Robert. It is the OFFICIAL website for the Clerk of the Court of Martin County Florida. A lawsuit has indeed been filed against you in Martin County Florida - NOT in Ohio. Shees, what are you drinking??? Here's some more free legal advise for you. You can only "dodge" a summons so long. IF the plaintiff can convince the court that due deligence has been performed AND that you are ACTIVELY refusing service (making yourself unavailable) many courts will grant a summary default judgment against you. IF that happens, you're gonna go thru hell trying to straighten it out. All anyone has to do Robert is copy the URL I posted and paste it into their browser, type in KRUTKO and highlight Civil Circuit for the court type and check it themselves. Further, if you're willing to pay $1 per page, you can download and READ the entire filing. There is something very seriously WRONG with you Robert. You are making yourself out to be a fool - an irrational fool. I found the website and the court filing. You need to stop accusing everyone of being a friend of Schmidt and you need to contact the clerk of the court for Martin County. At the LEAST, check the website yourself before you dig your legal hole any deeper! Anyone who does a search on ROR will quickly learn that I DO NOT POST FALSE INFORMATION.

First of all, Robert, civil cases are filed in the venue of the complainant. In this case, it would be Martin County, FL. And yes, if you look at their website, the lawsuit is filed and posted on-line. Anyone can look it up. What is so hard to understand about that? Speaking of lawsuits, why aren't you sueing them if all this dribble is true? You're ignorance has risen to a new level and I really think the ripoffreport moderators should take a good hard look at your access to this site.

The case has been filed. If you need help Robert, simply go to the clerk of the court website at: https://www2.myfloridacounty.com/ccm/?county=43 Under last name, type in KRUTKO Under court type, highlight Circuit Civil Then click "Search". After page changes, simply click on "View Selection" and you will see the information I posted. Let us know when you contact the Clerk of the Court and file your counter-suit. You're making yourself look extremely foolish with this year long internet war. You want to win-you go to court.

I'm the same Robert (Buffalo, NY) who asked questions on this ROR on 07/06/2007 (scroll up to see my questions) about how the boat was taking without a court order. I recently copied and pasted the court case information directly from the Clerk of the Court (Martin County, FL) website. I verified that a lawsuit was indeed filed on 2/7/08-it's on the website and the case lists 2 defendants. Krutko and American Yachts LLC. You're making yourself very foolish. Both of you, but especially YOU ROBERT. A case HAS been filed against you, so if I were you I would contact the clerk of the court for Martin County, FL and get a counter-suit filed. If you have all this evidence you claim to have, I would think you would welcome a day in court and file a counter-suit.

If you dont like the d**n channel then turn it off .. Obviously its affecting you or your business and as far as you saying you dont know peter or slept with peter or whatever bullsh%$ your selling nobodys buying. You see like peter the scumbag who cant produce after he lies is way to funny (yeah peter scumbag were all still waiting to see the lien you lied about posted above). Ive gotten so many compliments for exposing a scumbag and his company people have really thanked me alot. and if i were to get a commission from yacht owners who have asked for reputable referrals i would be retired. As far as your comment " all i can stand i cant stansd no more" take your a*s somewhere else and dont let the door hit you on the a*s either. Peter schmidt is a scumbag broker who runs a scumbag company. People send tons of e mails daily telling me how much they cant stand this scumbag broker and its about time someone stands up to him. So remember if your truly not a friend of peters dont waste your time responding . Firs he posted his company does 300 mil a yr then 100 mil a year then misunderstood what an attorney said to him then.... on and on and on, oh yes then the falsified lien... I will not stop posting until this scumbag rectifies what he did and stands up like a man instead of a boy. until then i will help anyone by giving them a referral to a reputable yacht broker. The sad part is im told is there are poor souls who bough a franchise set up with this scumbags company name and they also have to pauy for his stupidity. Lets face it if i bought a business where the owner got a percent while i used his name and he screwed my business.... Someone will eventually stand up and want to make things right.. my phone is open when peters ready to be a man. until then i will keep letting the world know what he and his company did to my family. pay now or pay later i dont give a d**n but you better believe boat owners thinking of using his company and seeing the many false statements he made isnt good you can bet that. oh yes then theres the peter blog which says 1) business is being dammaged,destroying lives, trouble sleeping etc. 2) then says business is great im confused as the number of times peter changes his story. anonymous like thousands of others sees the truth its that simple. peter when your readty to talk like a man call me im available till 9pm est

It is my job to report bad businesses or bad employer's so people do not fall victim like I did. If I don't do anything then more people will be in a worse situation then I was In. I don't care if you believe me patrick or anyone else on this website. Of course that is your goal to make the poster look bad & make the business look good, it has been happening all my life & I am sick of these bad businesses getting away with mistreatment of custormer's.

In the infamous words of Popeye: "I've had alls I can takes, I can't takes no more!" Robert, isn't it obvious that Peter has filed suit in HIS county, not YOURS? It's his business that you are slandering, so he's filed suit where his business is located. The lawsuit is on file and is valid. Why do you refuse to answer the summons and continue to hide from the process server? Go to court and settle this once and for all. Or are you afraid that the judge will see right through all your ridiculous rants? Hmmm? I've read all of your rants all over this website, and the internet in general (most of the Topix forums). You accuse all of the posters of either being Peter Schmidt, or employees of United Yacht Sales (or some other business/government agency that you've reported). But yet you've been busted on Topix as posting under false names trying to support your own argument. I can guarantee you that John in Califon NJ is NOT Peter or one of his employees. I've seen posts from him on numerous other reports on this site, so I seriously doubt he is Peter. As for me, you can verify that I've been posting on this site LONG before you ever discovered it by searching for reports on "Starbiz". The only difference between then and now is that then I lived in Gilbert. Now I live in Mesa. And regarding your friend "Anonymous" in Georgia, you really should find out who your friends are before you ally yourself with them. Just search this website for reports by "Charles" in Phenix City AL, or "anonmyous" (yes, that's how he spelled it) in Alabama or "Charles" or "Kathy" in Columbus, GA. Search out reports for EEOC, Claude Raptis, Schneider, Progressive, SunTrust, Phenix City Police, Drivers of Columbus GA, Tom McKeever of The Cape, Global Personnel Tammy Dukes, among many others to see his various rants. But then again, based on the reports you've filed, you two fit right in with each other. And Charles my friend, do you really think that by signing your name "Anonymous" that we wouldn't know it was you? I mean, come on, your writing style is hard to miss. And once again you've stuck your nose into a report where it has no business. And not only were your posts full of non-constructive comments, they really did not offer any type of information whatsoever regarding this report. Go back to polluting your own reports here. Leave the others alone.

Why are businesses so afraid to be reported to this website. If a business files a lawsuit like this they usually have something to hide. They are alot of companies I will not do business with on this website because of this reason right here. If a custormer file's a lawsuit agaisnt a business for wrong doing they alway's lose in court but when a business file's a lawsuit agaisnt the custormer the business alway's win. Like the founder say's when businesses usually files lawsuit they have something to hide & they are to keep the custormer quiet. I do not believe anything the owner of United Yacht say's. This website has saved me my time & my money of course I have to read attack's & insult's from people which only help's me not do business with the company. Why do businesses have all the right's to hurt custormer's & lie about them, then you have to put up with being attacked & ridculed from people on this website. My only question is why can't the owner of United Yacht admit they done wrong. Consumer's should be able to sue the business who has wronged them or stole from them.

The proof United Yachts is sueing Robert is on the Martin/St. Lucie County website. If United Yachts is lieing, why is there a case, filed Feb 11, on the county's website? Mr. Schmidt, I wish you the best of luck. You are obviously dealing with a very sick person. You are doing the right thing. You and your business can noty let this go.

As peter falsely accuses my family of not paying any rent and something about court we all again can see hes a liar. We called peter on his false lien lies over a week ago when hae made these false accusations and still nothing. Peter has also said aboove several time "hes not filing in court " then "he is filing in court". I ve checked all the court house records here in Columbus and nothingon the docket but thats to expect from a liar. No paperwork served or anything. This man i believe needs mental help and one would think doing $300,000,000 a year he could afford it. Oooppsss sorry 100,000,000 but again he changed that also. So many things peter boy has changed im not sure he knows what way is up. But we do know a few things posatively. 1) hes a liar who changes his story like the daily weather. 2) was knowingly involved in the sale of his own customers stolen yacht behind their backs while lying 3)has friends harass the victims family after exposing the scumbag 4) has friends who admit by e mail he screwed us 5) doesnt know the difference between 300,000,000 and 100,000,000 6) says now hes suing but columbus court dockets show nothing and no paperwork has been given so we believe hes lying again. Are there not any good mental hospitals close to stuart someone could give him the address to?

HERE IS A QUOTE FROM ABOVE PETER SCHMIDT MADE.. "Robert made a complaint against myself (United Yacht Sales) with the DBPR feeding them all the same claims he has made in these blogs. The state did an investigation and came to the conclusion that there was no basis for his claims and we were completely exonerated. This was the first complaint against me (ever) and I have had a license in the State if Florida since they issued licenses. He claimed that my broker and I KNEW that we were participating in an illegal auction. I run a company with approximately 80 brokers, we do over $100,000,000 in business a year. Does anyone think I would risk everything, knowingly supporting an illegal auction with a potential commission of $7,000? The marina and attorney had very convincing documentation that everything was in order. Robert claims we should have checked the coast guard document. It takes weeks and months to record changes to a CG document. I've been doing this a long time and have been involved in a number of boats being arrested and auctioned and sold. The document tells us nothing." LETS BREAK THESE LIES DOWN... "I run a company with approximately 80 brokers, we do over $100,000,000 in business a year." IN A RECENT POST SCHMIDT SAID HIS COMPANY WAS DOING 300,00,000 SO EITHER HE LIED ( WHICH IS MY BET) OR PEOPLE SEE HES A SCUMBAG AND GOING OTHER PLACES(ALSO COULD BE TRUE) "The marina and attorney had very convincing documentation that everything was in order." HE SAYS THE ATTORNEY HAD VERY CONVINCING DOCUMENTATION... WHEN JUST 3 DAYS BEFORE THIS ILLEGAL AUCTION HE RECOGNISED IT STILL BELONGED TO ME AND MY FAMILY BECAUSE HE SHOWED THE YACHT TO MC CARTHY A POTENTIAL CUSTOMER REPRESENTING ME AS THE OWNER 3 DAYS BEFORE AUCTION. NOW THAT HE IS EXPOSED HE WANTS EVERYONE AN ATTORNEY HAD CONVINCING DOCUMENTATION.. OH YES AND WHEN THE YACHT WAS TAKEN ILLEGALLY MONTHS BEFORE WHILE THIS SCUMBAG AND HIS COMPANY HAD THE LISTING THEIR BROKERS WERE EVEN KEEPING AN EYE ON THE YACHT FOR ME AND REPORTING BACK TO ME. SO THREE DAYS BEFORE ILLEGAL AUCTION THEY SHOWED MY YACHT REPRESENTING ME EVEN GIVING THE POTENTIAL BUYER A SALES PURCHASE AGREEMENT UNDER THEIR LETTERHEAD TO TAKE WITH HIM TO MAKE ME AN OFFER AFTER HE THOUGHT IT OVER. HHMMMMMMMMMMM "Robert claims we should have checked the coast guard document. It takes weeks and months to record changes to a CG document" THIS IS TRUE IN A WAY. PAPERWORK RECIEVED IN COAST GUARD DOCUMENTATION CENTER GOES INTO THE BOATS FILE AND YES IF YOUR TRANSFERRING A YACHTS OWNERSHIP IT COULD TAKE WEEKS EVEN MONTHS BECAUSE OF BACK LOG. BUT ANYONE CAN CALL AND WHEN PAPERWORK ARRIVES IN THEIR OFFICE THEY CAN UPDATE/ CONFIRM ETC. WHEN UNITED YACHTS TOOK THE BUYER THEY HAD JUST SHOWN MY YACHT TO REPRESENTING ME THREE DAYS EARLIER TO THE AUCTION AND LIED TO HIM AS SOON AS MC CARTHY THE BUYER LEFT WITH YACHT AND I CAUGHT WHAT WAS GOING ON IT ONLY TOOK ME AND HIM SEVERAL MINUTES TO HAVE THE COAST GUARD DOCUMENTATION CENTER LEGAL VERIFY THE SALE WAS ILLEGAL. LESS THAN 10 MINUTES.. SO IF SCHMIDT WOULD HAVE DONE HIS JOB AND CALLED THE COAST GUARD DOCUMENTATION CENTER AND SAID ' MY CLIENT HAS HIS YACHT LISTED WITH US AND A GROUP OF PEOPLE CLAIMING STATUTE 328.17 WHO WENT AND TOOK HIS YACHT ARE OFFERING IT FOR SALE IS THIS LEGAL? IMMEDIATELY HE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE ANSWER NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. THE REASON HE DIDNT IS BECAUSE HE WANTED HIS BROKER TO MAKE THE QUICK MONEY THINKING HE WAS DEALING WITH A DUMMY. OH YES AND TWO WEEKS AFTER THE AUCTION WHEN MC CARTHY CALLED UNITED YACHTS BROKER REPRESENTING HIM AT AUCTION TO GO WITH HIM TO PICK HIS YACHT UP IT WAS THE ATTORNEY WITH HIS BROKER PRESENT WHO SAID " WE HID THE YACHT UP THE KEYS FROM ITS OWNERS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR IT" IT WAS SCHMIDTS BROKER ON THE WAY TO THE YACHT WITH BUYER THAT TOLD HIM " AFTER YOU GET THE YACHT KEEP IT OUT OF SIGHT UNTIL YOU GET IT TRANSFERRED INTO YOUR NAME BECAUSE IF THE OWNER FINDS IT HE WILL TAKE IT" HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WOW THIS DEFINATELY SOUNDS LIKE AN ABOVE THE BOARD DEAL. OH YES AND THE STATE LAW THAT SAYS ANY BROKER REPRESENTING THE BUY OR SELL OF A YACHT MUST PUT MONEY INTO ESCROW IS THERE FOR ALL BROKERS EXCEPT UNITED YACHTS BROKERS. GOOGLE- FLORIDA YACHT AND SHIP BROKERS ACT READ FOR YOURSELF.... THIS MAN CHANGES HIS STORY LIKE THE DAILY NEWS... 300 MILLION NOW 100 MILLION JUST LOOK AT HOW MANY TIMES HE CHANGES HIS STORY.. HE DIDNT DO HIS JOB AS A BROKER AND ALLOWED BROKERS UNDER HIM TO BREAK LAWS-COMMINGLE MONEY-KNOWINGLY TAKE PART IN HIDING STOLEN YACHT AND MORE. GO TO WWW(DOT)UNITEDYACHTSALES(DOT)NET READ MC CARTHYS LETTERS WHOS ALSO A VICTIM OF THSE PEOPLE.. THESE PEOPLE BROKE THE LAW AND HAVE BEEN EXPOSED BY SOMEONE WHO WILL NOT ALLOW THEM TO GET AWAY WITH IT. PETER SCHMIDT WILL PAY FOR THE DAMMAGES HE CAUSED NOW OR LATER I HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD...

Robert in Ohio - you're gonna get NOTHING blathering about the internet. Lawsuits, and the monetary compensation that can be awarded, are won in a court, not on the internet. When you have a case, you file suit. It's that simple. Peter in Florida - my comment to Robert applies equally to you. You have a case for libel, you file suit. BOTH PARTIES, through your actions on the internet, have convinced me that I would not want to do business with EITHER of you. I wouldn't purchase a boat from Peter and I wouldn't buy a used lawnmower from Robert. Do either of you honestly believe that anyone such as my self would wish to purchase anything from either of you kids after reading this "did so... did not" chidishness from you guys?

I stumbled across this post several months back when looking at United Yachts to help me in the purchase of my new sailboat. What disturbed me most is this owner Peter Schmidt has made several statements in which he changed his story. I for one chose not to do business with this company and would not until this is settled. Comments were recently made about a lien on this mans vessel. I searched with the State Department of Highway Safety and motor vehicles and found no liens were ever put on this vessel. I also contacted the Monroe County courts to find no liens filed. Why would a broker make comments that are false is beyond me. I can say it doesn't make him look good at all. I did confirm under statute 328.17 a certification must be done by the D.H.S.M.V and one wasn't done here. I also find the letters posted by several State employees with the D.H.S.M.V very accurate. I have used tais statute myself when my family owned a small marina in south Florida. We always had to have a written lease in order to certify the sale which allowed us to do a non judicial sale. Before making my decision not to use this brokerage I called several Florida yacht brokers to get their opinion, all of them said they would never have got involved in the first place. If the man posting is correct as far as having a listing with this company and they went behind his back to take part in the sale, that is very unethical. I have read the buyers letters in which United Yachts represented at the auction and he clealry states the poster is a victim as well as himself. I also agree with the other post where the ANNOMYOUS post clearly states this owner is trying to cover for something he did wrong. All departments ive spoken to clearly confirm exactly what this poster has posted so why are the same few trying to discredit him? The public has alot of access to different agencies that can confirm what the poster has posted. My research show these to be true and im glad I never used this company myself and feel others have taken the same route. I think the owner of this brokerage should admit his mistakes and make ammends and move on. To make posts and change your story doesnt help him or the brokerage industry as a whole. One should never claim to have spoken to an attorney only to later say they "misunderstood" AFTER the poster called him on lying. Its also my understanding the buyer they represented from north Florida also is a victim because the broker spent his commission money before the deal ever went through. It's also my understanding the broker made payment arrangements to pay this man back and never did for months until this poster posted the story. I myself have been seeing alot of post about this feud for many months. I caution anyone reading this to confirm facts and make a decision wisely when choosing any business. Especially a business where the owner has changed his story on numerous occasions. The facts are clear the people who took yacht claiming statute 328.17 must have it certified which it wasnt. Without certification they must have a court order in which has been verified there was none. I also saw a letter from the buyer to state officials saying " he was taken to pick the yacht up by his broker from United Yachts which had been hidden in a remote location" he also states " I was very suspicious in this but they already had my money there was nothing I could do" To me thats very scarry. As ive said above do your homework before using any company because you to could end up in a bad situation.

First of all peter schmidt mentions dee dee holly. dee Dee holly works for the state agency that certifies the sales under state statute 328.17. Peter again just stated nobody did anythin wrong.. PETERS QUOTE FROM ABOVE..... "Unfortunately for all concerned, after the fact, the parties found that boat had been seized improperly and that the auction was not valid". OH YES AS PETER SAYS " NOBODY DID ANYTHING WRONG" AGAIN HIS STORY CHANGES. OH YES NEXT HE WILL TRY TO SAY HIS COMPANY OR BROKERS NEVER DID ANY UNETHICL PRACTICES RIGHT PETER? YOUR BROKER WENT TO THE ATTORNEYS OFFICE WITH THE BUYER SEVERAL WEEKS LATER AND TOOK PART IN ADVISING THE BUYER " KEEP THE YACHT HIDDEN UNTIL ITS TRANSFERRED INTO YOUR NAME, THE CURRENT OWNER IS LOOKING FOR HIS YACHT" OF COURSE THATS LEGAL PETER TAKING PART NOT ONLY IN ADVISING A BUYER TO KEEP A YACHT HIDDEN ON ITS OWNER BUT TAKING HIM TO A KNWON SPOT THE YACHT WAS HIDDEN. YEAH THATS LEGAL. EVERYONE CAN SEE IN MY WEB SITE A LETTER FROM MCCARTHY WHO WAS THE BUYER SAYING THE BROKER TOOK HIM TO THE HIDDEN YACHT. HIS OWN BROKERS NOT ONLY ADMITTED SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE THE SALE IT WAS ILLEGAL WHEN I REPORTED THE STOLEN YACHT TO THEM THEY EVEN CALLED ME ON A REGULAR BASIS KEEPING AN EYE ON MY YACHT. AS FAR AS DEE DEE PETER BOY HER OFFICE HANDLES THE CERTIFICATION OF THE STATUTE THE ATTORNEY TRIED TO CLAIM WHEN HIS CLIENT STOLE MY YACHT. YOU SEE PETER BOY TO GET IT CERTIFIED YOU MUST HAVE A WRITTEN LEASE TO DO SO UNDER FLORIDA LAW. THATS WHY THE SALE COULDNT BE CERTIFIED UNDER THE STATUTE. WHICH YOU ALREADY KNOW BECAUSE YOU ADMITTED IN YOUR POST ABOVE IT WAS DONE " IMPROPPER" SO WAS ADVISING A BUYER TO KEEP A YACHT HIDDEN THEN TAKING HIM TO THE HIDDEN YACHT DUMB a*s. AS IVE SAID THIS MAN IS SCREWED UP. NOT ONLY SCREWED UP HE SAY IT WAS DONE ILLEGALLY THEN SAYS IT WAS LEGAL. THEN ILLEGAL THEN NOBODY DID ANYTHING WRONG. ITS DEDE HOLLYS OFFICE THAT MUST CERTIFY THE SALES OF THE YACHT UNDER THE STATUTE DUMBASS. SO WHICH IS IT PETER IT WAS DONE ILLEGAL/IMOPROPPER OR IT WAS LEGAL WERE ALL CONFUSED. OH YES AND FOR THOSE READING LOOK ABOVE WHERE PETER SAYS MONTHS AGO " HE WAS NOT GOING TO MAKE ANYMORE REMARKS ONLINE ABOUT THIS WITH ME" OF COURSE WE ALL SEE HE LIED THERE ALSO. THE D.B.P.R 'S RULING WAS MADE BECAUSE THEY SAID " PETER SCHMIDT TOLD US HIS BROKER WAS NOT ACTING AS A BROKER THE DAY HE WENT AND REPRESENTED THE BUYER AT THE AUCTION" SOMEONE SHOW ME UNDER FLORIDA STATUE WHERE A BROKER CAN BE A BROKER MOST DAYS BUT ON ONE DAY WHERE A STOLEN YACHT WAS SOLD BY HIS COMPANY A BROKER CAN TAKE PART IN REPRESENTING THE SALE OR BUY OF A YACHT FOR PROFIT AND NOT BE A BROKER.... HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ALL 100% OF FLORIDA BROKERS SPOKEN TO CLEARLY ALSO CONFIRM " ILLEGAL" SOME EVEN SAID JAILTIME. BUT PETER WANTS EVERYONE TO BELIEVE HE DID NOTHING WRONG.. DOES THIS SHOW EVERYONE WHAT A MORON THIS GUY IS? THE BROKER HE POSTED ABOVES COMMENTS CLEARLY ALSO STATED ITS ILLEGAL AND HIS CONFIRMATION IS ALSO ON MY WEB SITE. NOW HE FINDS OUT IT WAS HIS BUDDY PETER SCHMIDT AND HE NOW SAYS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE... WHAT A MORON.. LOOK AT THE EXACT SCENARIO I GAVE THIS BROKER POSTED IN PETERS LAST COMMENTS I BELIEVE HIS NAME WAS DAVID. HE ANSWERED THE SCENARIO DAYS BEFORE AS ILLEGAL. NOW PETER CALLS HIM AND HIS STORY CHANGES.. WHAT A JOKE. JUST SHOWS YOU WHAT KIND OF MORON BROKERS ARE IN FLORIDA. CALL DEE DEE HOLLY ASK HER IF SOMEONE "CLAIMS" A YACHT LEFT A MARINA AND OWED MONEY(KEY WORD CLAIMED WITH NO WRITTEN LEASE) AND YOU WANT TO CLAIM STATUTE 328.17 AND SELL THE YACHT WOULD? A) WOULD IT BE HER OFFICE THAT CERTIFIES THE STATUTE B) WILL THEY CERTIFY THE NON JUDICIAL SALE STATUTE 328.17 WITHOUT A WRITTEN LEASE? C) IF THE YACHT WAS NOT IN YOUR POSSESSION WHILE CLAIMING THIS STATUTE CAN YOU GO TAKE IT? **** THIS WILL SHOW HES FULL OF SH&%. AND WILL SHOW IT WAS TOTALLY ILLEGAL; AND HE KNEW IT. HIS COMPANY SHOWED MY YACHT TO THE BUYER MCCARTHY THREE DAYS BEFORE THE ILLEGAL AUCTION REPRESENTING ME WHOM HE HAD A CONTRACT WITH. THREE DAYS LATER HE WANTS EVERYONE TO BELIEVE IT WASNT AN ILLEGAL; SALE.. NOT ONLY WAS IT ILLEGAL HE WENT FROM SHOWING MY YACHT REPRESENTING ME TO SELLING THE YACHT FOR SOMEONE ELSE. HE HAD ALL PAPERWORK AND DOCUMENTATION IN HAND CONFIRMING WE OWNED YACHT BEFORE HE EVER LISTED IT. THEN HE WANTS EVERYONE TO BELIEVE SOMEONE TOLD HIM THEY OWNED IT THREE DAYS LATER WITH NO PAPERWORK AND THE MORON TOOK PART IN THE SALE. ALL STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES INCLUDING THE COAST GUARD DOCUMENTATION CENTER SAID IT WAS ILLEGAL/THEFT. THATS WHY THE DOCUMENTATION CENTER WOULD NOT ALLOW THE TRANSFER AFTER SALE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO COURT ORDER ALLOWING THEM TO TAKE YACHT. IVE SEEN DUMB PETER BUT YOU TAKE THE CAKE. EVEN THE BUYER MC CARTHY HIRED HIS BROKER TO REPRESENT HIM NOT A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL. HIS LETTERS ALSO CONFIRM THAT WHAT WAS DONE WAS ILLEGAL. SCHMIDT= LYING SCUMB G

Its sad peter schmidt has to be the scumbag he is. then to allow his associates-friends to get online and patronise my family who are victims of his scumbag tatics. as far as lawsuit peter your lying nothing has been found notr have i seen any paperwork. Im out and about everyday and still nothing. Its sad as everyone can see above peter has lied so much its sad. This is a business owner who wants to handle yacht buyers/sellers money. Its very sad above in his post he says were not suing then falsely says he is. This is a man and company you dont want to put any money into his company or their lying ways. Schmidt is a liar and a crook and not only has the public seen this other victims of his crooked company has come forward. Alsp peter schmidt of united yachts has allowed his brokers to be part of his companys unethical ways. Hes a crook and liar and you cannot take his word for anything. Just look above in his posts how many statements he lied about ... STAY AWAY FROM THIS MAN AND HIS COMPANY YOU TO MAY BECOME THEIR NEXT VICTIM.. HOPEFULLY IVE SAVED MANY PEOPLE FROM BEING THIER NEXT VICTIM AND SUFFERING THE PAIN HE AND HIS COMPANY HAS PUT US THROUGH.

"Yes, indeed, we have now filed a libel suit and now Robert is hiding for the server, trying to avoid his day in court." I'm asking again: Case number and the full name of the court that will hear it? It's about time one party to this escapade did something - if it's really true that a case has been filed.

People like Robert lack the integrity to stand behind there words in a court of law. Robert if you truly have a claim against Pete then you should go ahead and go to court about it instead of ranting here. Prove that you are not hiding out from him to have the papers served. Pete you should also check into the possibility of having Robert charged as a stalker as well. Surely there are some sort of cyber laws he is breaking as well. Too bad Ed (who runs this site) will not help you out in some way. Good luck. Wish Robert was man enough to show up in court to answer for his postings.

Readers, (if there are any, except Robert) I have never written on any blog under any other name. Robert does it on a daily basis, pretending he's other people. Sometimes its so obvious, it's hard to believe he's serious. Imagine for a minute someone accuses you of a number of crimes. He then goes to several government agencies and authorities and they tell him that there was no wrong doing, only that he caused his own problems. No agency believes him or his claims. No charges have ever been brought, even after Robert pressing them over and over again. This includes the local police, the state police, the state attorney general, a federal court, the DPBR, various bonding companies to name just a few. Yet that someone (Robert) keeps blasting you on the internet claiming every crime imaginable. Hundreds of blogs. He even contends that many people agree with him. He claims other yacht brokers agree, when no broker has ever said that United Yacht Sales did anyting wrong. They were asked hypothetical questions by Robert that never resembled the actual facts. Here's an example of Robert's questioning technique. Quote "Thank you for your call and the heads-up about this situation. Obviously, this person completely misrepresented himself and the context of the situation. He has twisted what I said below to his end. In a transaction such as you described to me where the boat was sold at auction to a buyer without brokerage involvment in handling the money, there would have been no requirement to run it through an escrow account. I have copied this man with this e-mail and by this he is informed to cease and desist mis-quoting or misrepresenting my communication with him." Regards, Dave White World Class Yacht Sales Any broker that knows the facts knows that United Yacht Sales did nothing wrong. The DPBR, the regulatory agency which oversees yacht brokers in Florida, did an intensive investigation at Robert's request and has publically proclaimed that United did nothing wrong, nothing unethical, nothing illegal. They found there was no basis for any of Robert Krutko's claims. Case # 2007 03 8311. The Florida Yacht Brokers Association in it's most recent newsletter confirms the DPBR findings. Robert also claims that the state agrees that his boat was stolen. The State of Florida and no one has ever agreed that Robert's boat stolen. He quotes Dee Dee Holley, who knows nothing about admiralty law. Operations and Management Consultant Division of Motor Vehicles 2900 Apalachee Pkwy. Tallahassee, FL 32399 Phone (850) 617-3001 Anyone interested, call her and ask her if Robert forgot to mention that his boat already had a mechanics lien placed on it and that Robert had the boat removed from the marina in the middle of the night. There are a number of State and local law enforcement agencies that know about this situation and no one that knows the facts has agreed that the boat was ever stolen. In fact a Federal court finally ruled that the marina had every right to seize the boat, hold it for collateral and eventually auction it off. Robert is making a concerted effort to ruin our reputation by slander and libel. Would any reasonable person sit by and let this happen? Robert never stops; he just keeps making his unsubstaniated claims on the internet blogs (his Kangaroo court). His claims and statements are vile and disgusting. Yes, indeed, we have now filed a libel suit and now Robert is hiding for the server, trying to avoid his day in court. I hope that anyone reading this blog researches the whole thing. Google " Robert Krutko" This is one of the worst cases of libel that anyone has seen in a long time. To critisize me for taking action is flat out wrong. Put yourself in our position. Would anyone just sit back and let this seriously distrubed individual ruin you or your business? I think not. Robert, we will get you served and soon. You may as well come out of hiding. We will be hiring a PI and when you loose you'll be paying that bill, along with many others. Your $1m Deal is so rediculous, it's unbelievable. I should ask you to pay me $1M for every lie you have written on the Internet. We never had enything to do with how screwed up you have made your own life. On the other hand it appears that your only goal is to screw up other people's lives. See you in court.

Oh and as far as supporters ive got tons and many have and are taking their business elsewhere. And yes its funny as hell and we must be so thankful for the internet and it allowing us to expose scumbag businesses and its owners like United Yachts and Peter Schmidt.

When they threaten a lawsuit agaisnt the poster this is a good sign not to do business with them. I do not have these kind's of problem's because, I do get tired of the consent aruging & bickering like between the owner & the OP. These bad businesses do not like being reported to this website. Why just can't they admit they done this person wrong & work to try to resolve the problem beside's accusing them of slander. The good business people work to try to solve the problem without being hateful or accusing the poster of filing a false complaint. This website has saved me alot of time & money & grief, & another problem the bad business tries to get people agaisnt the poster of the complaint buy sending agent's to harass them. Thank god for rip-off report where we can report abuses from bad businesses. Of course no bad business will ever admit they are wrong they try to cover there track's so they can keep in business. Instead they file a lawsuit, this website has saved my life & my money. More people need to be more educated so they will not end up like robert, these businesses screw people & get people agaisnt them then they screw them even more buy filing a lawsuit & having there reputation ruined.

This scumbag broke the law and even MANY yacht brokers throughout florida clearly confimr not only was it illegal "its jail time" Ive even spoke to several yacht brokers in florida that wont even take part in the sale of a yacht if United Yachts has the listing. One broker recently said" i would find this hard to believe EXCEPT when you said "UNITED YACHTS' i knew there was something to it" . this is a scumbag company run by a scumbag whos a coward. But thats ok because many people like you wont do business with this scumbag company and there are over 60,000 now tha have read my web site about this lying crook. Thanks for the support and please pass my web site onto everyone. My goal is that nobody else has to be a victim of this scumbag company. Im glad i may have saved you tons of money and a major headache. Have you noticed the cowards at the f.y.b.a.org group he belongs to hasnt backed him up by putting their letterhead signed by its board members saying he did nothing wrong????? Of course not, they are scumbag brokers that ignore their own members breaking the law and commiting unethical practices. Annomyous if you want to save someone like yourself from becoming their next victim..

What is it that Robert doesn't understand about the legal system.

Why do you think our legal system has evolved the way it has? Oh, I forgot; Robert won't listen to or abide by any authority. This whole matter has already been settled in favor of United Yacht Sales by several authorities, but that doesn't matter to Robert. We will get you served Robert. This is not a joke!

""PETER SCHMIDT and CASE NO.: "" This "legal stuff" posting isn't worth the electrons needed to send it. Something's missing. Anytime a case if FILED there is immediately a case number/docket number assigned. Also, since this is district court, all filings are available thru PACER - it doesn't matter if the case hasn't been heard yet. The district courts are pretty good about making all filings available to the public on-line. This is been going on for quite some time.

He's hiding from the server and when confronted once by the server he claimed he was the son and hadn't seen his father in years. Robert doesn't have a son and we know exactly where he is; hiding in his hotel room avoiding the precessor. Well Robert and anyone else that cares, here's the suit (not the details) and the posting in the County Records. Note the date. We have been trying this long (Feb 11th) to serve Robert. What a guy! He just keeps up his Internet attacks and won't come before a court of law. Any one have any suggestions. Regard Robert's claims that he'll make more sales than we will. Robert may think he's effecting our business, but thankfully people are too smart to fall for all his crap. He wants to ruin me and our company. Yes, ruin the lives of 80 brokers and 8 staff people who depend on this business. 80+ good people. We're not going to let that happen. By the way business is great! Here's the legal stuff!

I have invited Robert to appear in a real court of law. His last comment is just rediculous. If he's caused United Yacht Sales harm, he'll pay, per any court order If we have caused him harm, we'll pay. I wouldn't trust Robert Krutko with any side bet or any agreement. If any one has been following Robert's claims over the past 9 month you know he's in his own world and the truth means nothing. He believes there has been a vast conspirancy against him over his boat. He caused his own problems, no one else. Again, Robert. Where are you? Be served and take the opportunity to appear in front of a real court of law. If you win, you can tell the world the truth, for once.

Peter Schmidt again shows hes a liar as everyone can see. Peter its sad when brokers throughout Florida agree you run a scumbag operation. the sad part is im not even a yacht broker and i will bet i will have more sales then you this year. You see many people online see you broke the law and consumers see your a crook. So with that said several brokers who are reputable have had many referrals from customers who want someone reputable and have asked me for this information. Posted above in these blogs peter as everyone can see ha lied so many times and now him and his scumbag friends are threatening myself and my family via telephone. Feel free to read peters comments above and how many times this scumbag has changed his story. His company broke the law and when your willing to put your money where your mouth is peter call me. Don t call unless your willing to put it in writing. of course he wont do that because he knows he broke the law. If hes serious about getting this resolved i want in writing peter if your company is found guilty for any of the following youll pay my family for suffering and losses in the amout of 1million dollars. I WILL GUARANTEE FOLKS HIS MOUTH QUITS RUNNING NOW... HERES THE FOLLOWING HE BROKE THE LAW ON 1) BREECH OF CONTRACT 2) LIBEL 3) UNETHICAL BROKER PRACTICES 4) COMMINGLING MONEY 5) HIS BROKER BROKE LAW WHEN REPRESENTING THE SALE OF A YACHT 6) HIS BROKER WAS A BROKER DURING THE SALE UNDER THE FLORIDA YACHT AND SHIP BROKERS ACT. 7) UNLICENSED BROKER ACTIVITY WHERES YOUR MOUTH NOW PETER LETS GET IT IN WRITING YOU SCUMBAG IF YOUR SO SURE PUT IT IN WRITING THAT NONE OF THE ABOVE WERE BROKEN BY YOUR COMPANY OR ITS BROKERS .. IF FOUND GUILTY ON ANY ONE OF THE ABOVE YOU PAY THE 1 MILLION IN DAMMAGES.. WATCH HIS COWARDY EXCUSES TO THIS....

We (United Yacht Sales) have sued Robert Krutko for defamation and libel. He has posted several times that we didn't dare sue him, as the truth would come out and we would be embarrased. Quite the contrary, we would love the truth to come out on the Internet, as it has through thorough investigations by a number of authorities. Now Robert can have his day in court, where this belongs. If Robert is so convinced we wronged him and that we did unethical and illegal things, its now time for him to stand in front of a court. We know he won't win and we suspect he will never show up. Robert is presently hiding from the process server in Columus Ohio. He is staying in a hotel and avoiding being served. He will not tell us what room he is in and the hotel's policy is not to give out that kind of information. The server encountered Robert once and Robert claimed he was the son. There is no son. Robert calls our office quite often and harasses our employees with obscene phone calls. We are keeping a log of all the calls and their disgusting content. Folks here is a man who is trying to ruin a number of people's reputations and businesses by posting on hundreds blogs. His claims are total fabrications and far removed from the truth. It doesn't take a lot of courage to do what he is doing, it only takes a twisted mind. So Robert, come out of hiding. Where are you? You need to be served and to repond. Be a man in get this in front of a court of law, not your kagaroo court of internet blogging. Peter Schmidt

On Jan 29, Robert wrote that we did not have the courage to file a suit against him. Well, we have filed a suit against him, but we can not get him served because he is hiding from the server. The server did confront Robert once, but he claimed to be Robert's son. He doesn't have a son and fooled the server. Robert has been avoiding the server ever since. Robert, if you are so sure that you've been wronged by United Yacht Sales, we're giving you the opportunity to prove it in court. Do the right thing and put this issue in front of a court of law, not in your kangaroo internet court.

As ive said to this cowards posts already "give me an e mail and who you are ill answer" this is a coward going by many names on the internet trying to harass a victim of certain scumbags crimes. If he wants an answer he can be man enought to tell me who he is. The coward goes by truth be told and several other names. Hes also linked with the key west scumbags who stole the yacht. As everyone can see i have no problems proving my story in fact where peter schmidt made comments about there were no other people except myself complaining against his company.... wrong, another victim has come forward. http://sarasota.craigslist.org/boa/564934222.html so while peter schmidt president of united yachts desperately tries to make himself look innocent he proves me right. Anyone who sees the postings ive made on the internet will see a select few have tried to make the victim look bad but cant do it. This person posting is just one of those cowards. While my family has gotten death threats from florida scum bags we still continue to pursue justice. These scum bags may have a few officials in the state of florida in their back pockets but they dont scare me. I will not only pursue justice but will keep exposing these liars,frauds,crooks so that no others will become a victim of theirs also thanks to the hundreds of emails and letters of support from the many great people reading these posts.

Reply to: [email protected] Date: 2008-02-06, 1:03PM EST Mr.Waters (yeah I know) from the Palm Beach office of United Yachts sent me on a 1200 mile 2000 dollar trip to view a boat that was totally wrecked. He posted great pics and faxed me a survey that was not accurate at all. The survey listed the usual nickle and dime stuff. When my wife and I got to the boat, it was literally unrecognizable. There was widlife living in the boat. She was stripped of allgear and slated for demolision by the yard! The boat has been in that state for two years the yard said. The beauty of this whole thing, Is that this moron STILL uses the pic on his page. He is a true scumbag. I called the surveyer and he had no knowledge of the boat! http://unitedyacht.com/mikewaters/ It's the sailboat on the left. Under intense pressure he settled and said he would reimburse us. We have yet to see one cent 3 years later. I JUST SPOKE TO THIS GUY AND NOT ONLY DID THEY GIVE HIS BOGUS YACHT SURVEYS THEY LIED,FALSIFIED INFORMATION THEY WHEN THEY REIMBURSED HIM FOR HIS EXPENSES THEY BOUNCED A CHECK. READ MORE AT WWW.UNITEDYACHTSALES.NET I WILL BE POSTING ALL THIS FALSE INFORMATION INCLUDING THE BOUNCED CHECK HOPEFULLY VERY SOON.

Galati yacht representatives also agree it was illega but galaty himself (f.y.b.a board member)obviously doesnt give a d**n either. they hope this goes away instead of doing the right thing. peter schmidt of united yacht sales is a liar,misrepresenter and a crook. hes lied before and still continues to do so. f.y.b.a. members put on their web site they belong to the f.y.b.a making you think that pulls some kind of weight and your protected but your not.

Robert is at it again, defaming United Yacht and myself and committing libel. Can anyone blame me for being upset with what is going on. Robert's last quote from Dave White is the latest fabrication and twisting of facts. Robert called Dave, pretending to be a potential buyer for a boat going to auction. No details were given, just broad parameters. Dave has been made aware of the situation and now writes. "Thank you for your call and the heads-up about this situation. Obviously, this person completely misrepresented himself and the context of the situation. He has twisted what I said below to his end. In a transaction such as you described to me where the boat was sold at auction to a buyer without brokerage involvment in handling the money, there would have been no requirement to run it through an escrow account. I have copied this man with this e-mail and by this he is informed to cease and desist mis-quoting or misrepresenting my communication with him." Regards, Dave White World Class Yacht Sales This is just one more fabrication fo Robert's among many. There were no illegal activities conducted by United Yacht, myself, the brokers involved, the attorney involved ..... no one. We have all been totally cleared by a number of agencies. Robert simply contends that everyone is simply in the bag for United Yacht Sales. A vast conspiracy. Fact is Robert never paid a dockage bill and lost his boat to the marina he owed the money to and it was auctioned off. I suppose I would be upset also, but to blame everyone else for his problems is just wrong and to libel everyone involved all over the internet is even worse. Peter Schmidt

ANOTHER FLORIDA F.Y.B.A. MEMBER AND YACHT BROKER CLEARLY CONFIRMS MONEY MUST GO TO ESCROW OR ITS ILLEGAL. HERE AGAIN ALL BROKERS GIVEN THE SAME AUCTION SCENARIO SAY " IT MUST GO INTO ESCROW OR ITS ILLEGAL" ITS THAT CLEAR. BELOW IS THE SCENARIO OF BEING REPRESENTED AT AUCTION BUYING A YACHT AND AGAIN SCHMIDT LYING MAKES HIM LOOK MORE STUPID. AVOID UNITED YACHT SALES AT ALL COSTS THEY BROKE LAWS AND HELPED SELL A STOLEN YACHT. THE BROKER THEN HAD THE MONEY WIRED INTO HIS PRIVATE ACCOUNT AFTER KNOWING MONTHS BEFORE FROM US IT WAS STOLEN. THATS WHY LAWRENCE PIRRITINO HAD MONEY WIRED INTO HIS PERSONAL ACCOUNT. HE THEN SPENT THE MONEY BEFORE THE COAST GUARD DOCUMENTATION CENTER WOULD NOT ALLOW THE THIEVES TO TRANSFER TITLE. SCHMIDT AND HIS COMPANY ARE LIARS AND CROOKS ALONG WITH BREAKING SEVERAL LAWS. Dave, To briefly go over our conversation regarding representing the buy of a yacht at auction. I also understood the commission has to be wired to an escrow account as you mentioned the strict laws in Florida say its illegal to go into a personal account correct? The commission is understand for your services are 10%?Look forward to talking to you soon. Please clarify if im correct on the above understanding. Robert ANSWER..... Robert, We are prepared to represent you to purchase the vessel you wish. As a Florida licensed broker, we handle all funds through our escrow account. For a broker to handle those funds through a personal account would be illegal. If you would forward the details of the auction of the boat you desire including all auction rules, we would be better able to advise how the transaction would need to be structured. In such a transaction, we are prepared to act as your agents to protect your interests. Regards, Dave White World Class Yacht Sales 7279457500

Robert has accused us of commingling funds and not using escrow properly. This is just one more of his fabrications. The sale of his boat was conducted by auction. It was not a brokerage transaction and therefore not subject to brokerage escrow regulations. The salesman represented the buyer at the auction and after the transaction was complete the buyer paid the salesman an agreed upon fee. United Yacht Sales never held any money. The State of Florida DPBR, the broker's bonding company and all agencies who reviewed this are in total agreement that United Yacht nor its salesman did anything wrong and Robert knows that perfectly well. Yet Robert continues to defame and libel United Yacht. The brokers he quotes were contacted by Robert, but never told the whole story and the word "auction" was never brought up, simply a general question as to the rules of escrow. Then Robert says that supports his claim? As usual he makes no sense. Again United Yacht Sales has been under attack by Robert for over 6 months now. All his claims have been dismissed by every authority he has contacted. Here's one ruling from our bonding company. " Dear Mr. and Mrs K ...once the yacht went under public auction/sale, the sale agreement with United Brokers' Mr. R.. was no longer in effect and Mr. R would not be obtaining any benefit or brokeragte commission. On the other had, Mr. P... never represeented you folks in the sale of the boat in question. All of the above is long after your notice that the boat was scheduled for public sale/auction. Once again your claim is repectfully denied"

Another f.y.b.a member confirms what united yacht sales did is illegal.... Mike, i just researched escrow accounts and come upon the yacht brokers act in florida. below is what i found out is this all true? (1) A broker shall place any funds received pursuant to a transaction into a trust account in a savings and loan association, bank, trust company, or other financial institution located in this state having a net worth in excess of $5 million until he or she disburses such funds. A separate record shall be maintained of all such moneys received and the disposition thereof. (2) At the closing of a transaction in which title to a yacht is transferred, a broker shall provide the seller and purchaser with an itemized closing statement, including the selling price and all charges and credits, a description of any yachts exchanged, and the amount of any consideration. If the transaction is closed through escrow and the escrow holder renders a closing statement which reveals such information, that shall be deemed compliance with this subsection on the part of the licensed broker. (3) A broker who intentionally fails to comply with the provisions of this section concerning the establishment of a trust account, deposits of funds into a trust account, and withdrawal therefrom, commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. The failure to establish a trust account or to place funds therein as required in this section is prima facie evidence of an intentional and purposeful violation of this section. ANSWER...... Yes that is true. Mike MIKE CARLSON, YACHT SALES Serving THE CATAMARAN COMPANY FORT LAUDERDALE, FL 4005 N.

Why would anyone, seller, buyer or the broker want tp put money in the brokers personal account? As you can see " BROKER IS REQUIRED BY LAW" so why wasnt this company prosecuted and its brokers??? simple people doing the investigation are friends of the owner peter schmidt.

I have been following this post now for several months and decided to look into this matter due to there being so much inconsistincies in these story's. I called the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) to verify if they even did an investigation into this auctioneer and they confirmed yes. I was then told the investigation was finished on their end and it was in Monroe County at the State Attorney's office. I called the State Attorney's office in Monroe County Florida and quickly learned the case from this DBPR is there and being reviewed. I also asked If the e-mail I had sen online recently was true and was the file going to a prosecutor? The answer was yes. I also looked into the state statute reguarding auctioneers in Florida and called a few auctioneers to get their input into this matter. The auctioneers said yes there is an exemtion for atorneys where they do not need a license IF the person hiring them owns the property. I cannot say who owns the peoperty myself but have read e-mail form the Department of Highway,Safety and Motor vehicles where them confirm under statute 328.17 that taking a yacht and bringing it back to your possession is theft, they even go on to say in the e-mail that if the vessel has left a marina's possession you then have a civil matter for the courts to dcide. Robert p.s i almost forgot would we be able to go take yacht and bring back to our possession if we notify him first by mail(before boat leaves marina) we are claiming the statute 328.17 then he leaves after getting notice? You are correct in all that you stated. I apologize for not emailing you yesterday like I said that I would. The only thing is the P.S. is incorrect. If the boat leaves your possession for any reason, that then becomes a civil matter and you would have to get a court to say that you can go get the vessel.

Under statute 328.17 if we did not have a written lease with a boat owner we COULD NOT use this statute to do a non judicial sale of vessel correct? also if the boat leaves the marina for any reason and doesn't return we as i understand CANNOT go get it and bring it back to our possession correct? and as you said even if we had possession the whole time still without a lease we could not do a non judicial sale under statute 328.17 correct? Thanks Robert p.s its my understanding if the boat left WE CANNOT go take it and bring it back to our possession or we commit theft by doing so correct? Dear Robert: Your interpretation of the Florida Statue is correct in all aspects. Especially, since you did not have a written contract with the owner of boat. If we can be of further assistance, please contact our office. Sincerely, LEE COUNTY TAX COLLECTOR Karen Taylor Customer Support Department Here are the letters I copied from --- I Also found it very interesting there was a letter posted in this exact ripoff report from another individual Kevin McCarthy. In his letter he states the attorney told him the owners had been looking for their vessel and they had taken it some 20 miles up the coast to hide at a private dock. One would clearly have to agree if that is true why would a vessel be hidden if what was done was legal? I have also confirmed the individual who bought the yacht was in fact refunded his purchase money from the auction rather quickly. One again would have to wonder, if this sale was legal why did they quickly give this man his money back? So far what upsets me about this whole situation is why several people have gone way out their way on the internet to discredit a man claiming his yacht was stolen and everything was done illegally and his story checks out. In my personal opinion I would have to say several people are doing this because maybe he's right. It took me less than one hour to confirm from several agancies what has been printed here about this attorneycase being at the State Attorneys offices is correct. Under chapter 468.323 auctioneer laws Florida, I wanted to post what it clearly says about attorney exemptions, 1) Auctions conducted by the owner, or the owner's attorney If this is correct, and i believe the law hasn't changed since this morning, And the e-mails ive read from DHSMV officials are true about the marina not being able to go take a yacht and bring it back to their possession that would mean the yacht was illegally taken. Therefore the person hiring this attorney did not own the yacht. Therefore the auction would be illegal. Also one other point I ran across late last night was an e-mail by a gentleman in Cudjoe Florida. This individual confirms as a wittness that the person he spoke to at hotel told him he was the owner of the yacht and was on his way to get it, even offering a reward for finding his vessel. A quick call to the Coast Guard Documentation Center clearly confirms the vessel is today still registered to the same company it was over two years ago. Ownership of the vessel still has not changed. Mr. ---'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.

That again not only makes no sense but in my opinion make this group look very bad. Any consumers reading any reports like this on the interney should do the research for yourself. Several people on my copied e mails have phone numbers where they can be contacted. State agency phone numbers are also easily available. If all these people confirm theft,illegal auctions,false claim of ownership, they all as wittnesses can't be wrong. Ask yourself why a reputable business owner from north Forida would lie that he was sold a vessel at auction that wasn't legal?. Why would a U.S. Navy representative lie about being told this person from marina claimed he was the owner? I have calls into several of these wittnesses and waiting for a return call. I will post what I find out after talking to them.

Robert started off in his last update by saying the attorney committed a felony by not having an Auctioneer's License. Hey Robert, do a little research into Florida law. Attorneys are not required to have the license. They are already permitted by the BAR. Next, I made two very quick and simple phone calls. The first was to DBPR. The complaint Robert filed was unfounded. They concluded that the attorney, Alan Eckstein, did not commit criminal activity. Why? Ref paragraph one. Don't believe me? Call them. They were very cooperative. I then called the State's Attorneys Office in Key West. This complaint was never forwarded to them because DBPR concluded no crime. Why? Ref paragraph one. Don't believe me? Give them a call. They too were very cooperative. So, what we have here is yet another in a long list of Krutko lies. Dare I ask what's next? Whatever it is, I'll be happy to prove it false.

As of last week the state DBPR auctioneer section has finished their investigation and yes they clearly saw the law was broken and Eckstein did not have an actioneers license and the sale was illegal under Florida law. The attorney by holding an unlicensed auction commited a fourth degree felony. The file is at the monroe county state attorneys office. Schmidt has lied to cover his a*s but obviously hes not a broght one. Below is an e mail i got today from the gentleman they went behind my back as their customer and represented at auction. This person will verify the sale was illegal and the broker knew the yacht had been removed from marina which the attorney also said was hidden from its owners. The broker and united yacht sales have broke the law and still lie to cover it up. The broker also knew the yacht was hidden from the owners and stood in the attorneys office while the attorney explaned this to the buyer. This is not what reputable brokers do. As i stated all along the auction of the yacht was illegal. any REPUTABLE BROKER knows this. Any reputable broker would also not allow a buyer to get involved in a sale where a yacht was being hidden from the owners. Schmidt and his broker Pirritino not only had a contract with our company they knew the yacht was hidden from us. Below is a letter i recieved today from McCarthy who was the other victim of this. To whom it may concern In October of 2006 I was the only bidder at an auction held at the Ocean Key House Resort in Key West Fl the resort was auctioning a 45' Corinthian passenger vessel that they said they had taken possession of for none payment of dock fees. over the next few weeks I wired the resort $71,000 and I drove to the Key's to take possession of the vessel. In November of 2006 I stayed in Islamorada in the middle Keys I had made arrangements with a marina there to do some repairs on the vessel. The broker who represented me for the purchase of the vessel Mr. Lawrence Pirrintino to whom I paid a commission of $7,100 on top of the $71,000 purchase price, drove me from Islamorada to Key West we met there with the resorts attorney Mr. Alan Eckstein at the meeting Mr. Eckstein gave me what I thought was a valid bill of sale, a letter stating the sale of the vessel was a non-judicial sale of a vessel for unpaid dockage fees sold under section 328.17 of the Florida Statutes and a copy of the application information for transferring ownership to me through the U. S. Coast Guard National Documentation Center. At the meeting Mr. Eckstein told me that the vessel had been moved from the resort in Key West to a privet dock some 20 miles north to hide the vessel from the previous owner and that the previous owner could attempt to repossess the vessel I was also told that the previous owner had been making a lot of accusations to all of the law enforcement agencies to stop the sale of the vessel this was the first time that I had any indication that there could be some problem with this transaction but by this point they had my money and I would have to make the best of the situation. Mr. Eckstein assured me that the sale was in fact legal however he suggested that I should apply for the transfer of ownership as soon as possible. The sale of the vessel was in fact not legal and I was forced to hire an attorney my $71,000 were returned to me. This has cost me to date about $20,000 in expenses and many hour of my time in an attempt to simply purchase a vessel for my business. Sincerely, Kevin McCarthy 2206 Florida Ave. Fernandina Beach Fl 32034 19045563223 I urge anyone to call McCarthy and he will verify before he went with broker to pick up yacht he was told from him(Pirritino broker) the yacht had been hidden. As you can see the attorney also told him t was hidden? does that sound legitimate. McCarthy also states the sale was illegal and the broker knew this.In a recent state investigation Pirritino states he showed mc carthy the yacht the saturday before the auction,he states in the report he was surprised to see the yacht chained up so he went to inquire with the hotel manager. That was a lie McCarthy will verify Pirritino told him immediately that saturday morning the yacht had been taken by marina on claims of back rent owed. These people lie so much but McCarthy will verify what ve said and the trust will come out when these folks are under oath. I will post a copy of Pirritinos statement soon where he lied to investigators. Keep lying peter schmidt your pathetic. Also for all reading this look back in blog where Schmidt falsifies the victims attorney told him the yacht was re auctioned and we lost our case. After i exposed his lies he went on here saying he misunderstood. Oh yes and if i wasnt right why do you think peter ,his workers, and friends are going on the internet trying to discredit me so hard... Its easy the world can now see what kind of brokerage he runs. Best advise if your looking to buy or sell a yacht find a reputable company,they were not reputable with us. Oh yes and this pathetic business owner who has lied on ere already said the state was still undecided ? do undecided state officials send undecided file to state attorneys for prosecution? Below is an e mail from monroe state attorneys office verifying file is there and all there waiting for a a piece of paper from DBPR attorneys and its going to prosecutor. again this pathetic businessowner lies. Friday, 10/05/2007 Mr. Krutko: As previously advised, I do not accept unsolicited emails due to virus issues. I provided you with a fax number, 305-295-3974, you may fax anything you wish to be placed in your file. I am awaiting a document from DBPR's legal counsel. When that document arrives, I will forward your file to a Prosecutor for review. Paul Meyers Chief Investigative Division Office of the State Attorney Yeah that sounds undecided to me...... P.S After the sale the broker took his commision money and put it into his private account not an escrow. The broker spent the money before the sale went through (illegal) after the buyer got his money refunded from illegal auction the broker spent his and promised monthly payments(written agreement) he made one paymeny then no mor . He wouldnt even return mccarthy calls. Finally after i exposed schmidt and his company illegal garbage schmidt and his broker pirritino were quickly on the phone with mccarthy wanting to get payents caught up. They finally got payments up to date. This all didnt happen until schmidt and united yacht sales were exposed. call mccarthy he will verify the payment thing also.

Robert has gone too far again. He now claims that the Florida DBPR has ruled against Eckstein, ruling that he committed a felony. I checked it out today. Robert filed e a complaint against Eckstein and as of today there has not been a determination. Anyone can access the DBPR web site to confirm. Robert categorically states, he's guilty Talk about jumping the gun and slander? Here are the facts The state did not rule that his boat was taken illegally. Robert quotes DeeDe from the DMV. DeeDe was never told the facts, just a hypothec situation made up by Robert. She never offered an opinion on this particular issue. Robert makes it sound as if the state made a ruling. In fact no legal authority or government agency has ruled in favor of Robert or prosecuted anyone. The only actions they have taken were on Robert's personal accusations. Strange that no authority has yet agreed with Robert. Robert claims that many brokers in the State of Florida agree with his position and sent him many emails in support. If any broker agrees with him, they don't know the facts. If they have sent him emails, he should post them and not some concoction he has made up, as he has done; just like he answers himself all the time on the blogs using different names Robert has also lost his case in Federal court with the Marina. The boat will be or has been auctioned again. Robert made a complaint against myself (United Yacht Sales) with the DBPR feeding them all the same claims he has made in these blogs. The state did an investigation and came to the conclusion that there was no basis for his claims and we were completely exonerated. This was the first complaint against me (ever) and I have had a license in the State if Florida since they issued licenses. He claimed that my broker and I KNEW that we were participating in an illegal auction. I run a company with approximately 80 brokers, we do over $100,000,000 in business a year. Does anyone think I would risk everything, knowingly supporting an illegal auction with a potential commission of $7,000? The marina and attorney had very convincing documentation that everything was in order. Robert claims we should have checked the coast guard document. It takes weeks and months to record changes to a CG document. I've been doing this a long time and have been involved in a number of boats being arrested and auctioned and sold. The document tells us nothing. Robert then filed a complaint against the state employee that conducted the investigation, claiming bias. The state ruled there was no suggestion of bias. This is the first complain this employee had received in over 25 years of service to the state. Robert filed a complaint with the insurance company that holds our person bonds, demanding payment. They have denied has claim. Now Robert is expanding his Internet attacks on blogs and personal web sites. Unfortunately there is little we can do to stop the slander. The blogs and claim freedom of speech, so anyone can sayanything. Anyone reading this needs to go back to the beginning. Robert owned a commercial dive boat in the Keys. The business did not go well. He owed the marina a lot of back dockage. I have heard him claim the he had no contract with them. If have also heard that he bought a business, it's main asset being the boat and the business had a contract for dockage. It's not for me to determine the facts here. It was for a court and apparently Robert lost. The bottom line is that Robert should have worked something out with the Marina in a civil manner and that's obviously not his style. Robert caused his own problems. Now he is taking it out on everyone that had anything to do with his problem. I don't know what he has to gain. I hope you all understand now what we are dealing with.

Another good try peter boy. as ive said its not over. Anyone looking to deal with this company as a past customer i would advise finding another company to deal with. theres alot of reputble brokers in florida who wont lie,fraudulant ,misrepresent,etc. As far as googleing my name this is ploy by peter schmidt and his buddys. You see peter schmidt is a liar and anyone checking out his company should find a more reputable,honest one to deal with. United yacht sales peter schmidt is a company not t deal with along with its sister company marathon boats and yachts.

If anyone is still reading this blog, google Robert Krutko and find out for yourself what kind of a man we are dealing with. It doesn't matter what the truth is, Robert has his own take on everything. He calls everyone liars and worse, when he's the one with the problem with the truth. If you have taken the time to read this far you need to know what's really happening. "Let the truth set you free"

First of all everyone has clearly seen all the responses from the brokers throughout florida. Second you can clearly see i posted a week ago it was going to come back to your favor and that was easy to call ahead of time due to the fact there was no impartial investigation on this matter. You obviously have friends in the office. As far as mc carthy you better bet he knows the investigation was also not impartial. Anyone with common sense knows if mc carthy knew he was not being represented by a broker (which he didnt) why would he have the idiot go to an auction where the bidding started at 61k and the broker takes it to the max allowed by mc carthy of 71k with no other bids? hellooooooooo then pay a 7100.00 commision on top of that? helllooooo he could have got on phone called hotel got boat at 61k (10 k savings) avoided a commision (saved 7k) you think everyone is that stupid. hes going to call your broker idiot up and have him represent him at a sale with not being a broker for 17k. helloooo so lets get this straight your broker claims he wasnt a broker, in that case he didnt tell mc carthy anything, then he costs mc carthy 17k then spends his commision money and lies to him about making payments back to him. hmmmmmm YEAH YOUR DEFINATELY A REPUTABLE BROKER ALRIGHT... NOT TO SAY EVERY FLORIDA BROKER IVE SPOKEN TO HAS SAID YOUR BROKER BS IS ILLEGAL....HMMMMM FELLOW BROKERS SAY ILLEGAL ALSO NOT ONE HAS SAID ITS LEGAL.. THIS ISNT OVER YOU BETTER BET THAT..

The Fl. DBPR took several weeks to do a compete investigation. They interviewed ALL the parties involved, including the buyer McCarthy. Mr McCarthy knew exactly what was happening, that being the marina was holding an auction, held by the marina's attorney, and an officer of the court. He hired Mr. Perrintino to represent him at that auction. The report is very complete 8 page report and further contains 14 exhibits. Robert knew the state would come down in United's favor because his claims are baseless and his story is totally twisted and incorrect. I am not "a friend" of anyone in the DBPR. They regulate United Yacht Sales and treat us like anyone else and perhaps scrutinize us more because of our large size. This report is available to anyone. It is very clear as to it's findings. Robert will go on telling his sorry tail and keep slandering everyone involved, but the true facts are available to anyone who is interested in the truth. If the truth doesn't matter, then keep reading Robert's attacks on world that has conspired against him. Peter

AS everyone clearly sees i stated here a week or so ago this department of the DBPR would not find you guilty and yes i called that a week ago. Its not to hard to call when the DBPR doesnt care to hear the facts on a good friend of theirs. Its not over yet peter everyone sees all the brokers who have written and where i posted all there comments and all say something is clearly wrong. Lets face it peter boy you think mc carthy wouldnt have picked up a phone for 5 minutes and handled the auction himself saving him $17,500 if he honestly knew your guy wasnt a broker.

I have remained quiet for a good while, simply waiting for the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation to report on the allegations made by Robert Krutko. Robert has accused me of lying and of deceitful and illegal business practices and in general slandering United Yacht Sales, my brokers and myself. We received the report today. The State has given everyone involved with United Yacht Sales a total clean bill of health. We did nothing wrong, either ethically or legally. The report is quite lengthy but to sum it up there is no evidence to substantiate a violation The full report is available from the DPBR, case # 2007 03 8311 or you may contact me directly at [email protected] Any brokers that sided with Robert in this blogging, you really should read the report and get the facts straight. Robert has been relentless, attacking everyone involved in this incident. He has told half- truths, twisted time-lines, pretended to people he isn't to further his attacks, accused totally innocent people of terrible things. I never once lied, as he accuses me. It took me a couple of days to get all the facts straight and I admitted to a misunderstanding of weather the boat was re-arrested or simply remained under arrest and if his court case was settled or not. This misunderstanding has no bearing on Robert's situation, in any case. Folks, Robert caused his own problems and refuses to deal with them in a civilized manor. I feel sorry for the people he has slandered and have no way to defend themselves except through a blog where lying and slandering is acceptable. The Internet has really become a dangerous place! For anyone who reads this and can't see what kind of a person Robert is, please Google search Robert Krutko. It's a real eye-opener. It's a shame the Internet has come to this! In the mean time, we at United are happy to hear from anyone regarding this incident or in helping you in the sale or purchase of a boat. Peter Schmidt

The State Department highway safety motor vehicles the group who regulates state statutes reguarding vehicles,boats etc. has went on record saying under the state statute 328.17 it is illegal/theft to go take a vessel and bring it to your possession. As you will see by the letter below i didnt go in from the victim side i asked questions as if i were a marina. You will also see as DEE DEE told me the state statute is not applicable once a vessel leaves your possession for any reason. As she said on the phone if a vessel leaves and you say it owed you money and you go take it thats theft. The broker and brokerage were aware the vessel was illegally taken several months before the sale as i have stated several times. As you will also see in the first response from peter schmidt he not only admitd the first taking of yacht was illegal but so was the sale. I believe he termed it IMPRPOER. Thets the same paragraph he falsified information saying he spoke to mc carthys attorney and was told it was re arrested again and being auctioned off a second time whicch again was a lie. He never spoke to attorney at this time nor did the attorney tell him this. I believe in most parts of the country saying someone told you something that actually didnt is called lying? in florida peter schmidt calls it i believe MISUNDERSTOOD? ( wow you dont even speak to a person then quote him as telling you something and thats misunderstood?) below is the letter from the head state person who oversees the statutes pertaining to cars and boats including the statute that was claimed by hotel to illegally sell my yacht. From: Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2007 5:27 PM To: Holley, DeeDee Subject: as per our conversation statute 328.17 Hi DeeDee I spoke to you earlier about the state statute 328.17. I couldnt remember if i gave you my e mail address or not it is ((ROR REDACTED)))As per our conversation it is my understanding as a marina if you try and use the statute 328.17 you must hold and be in possession at all times. If the boat you are claiming owes you money leaves for any reason you cannot claim the statute and do a non judicial sale correct? At that point as a marina I would have a civil matter claiming back rent owed? And as you mentioned if the vessel leaves for any reason we as a marina would not be able to go get it and bring it back to our possession under the statute because that would be theft correct? So to sum it up as a marina I would need to hold vessel there to claim statute then follow guidelines to do a non judicial sale? if not we cannot go get yacht then bring it back and sell it under the statute. Thanks again and please let me know if the above is a correct assessment of the law. Robert p.s i almost forgot would we be able to go take yacht and bring back to our possession if we notify him first by mail(before boat leaves marina) we are claiming the statute 328.17 then he leaves after getting notice? HERES THE STATES RESPONSE.... You are correct in all that you stated. I apologize for not emailing you yesterday like I said that I would. The only thing is the P.S. is incorrect. If the boat leaves your possession for any reason, that then becomes a civil matter and you would have to get a court to say that you can go get the vessel. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Dee Dee Holley Operations and Management Consultant Division of Motor Vehicles 2900 Apalachee Pkwy. Tallahassee, FL 32399 Phone (850) 617-3001 *****the proof is all there, now getting someone to enforce the law in florida is a whole different ballgame. AND NO THEY DIDNT GET A COURT TO SAY THEY COULD GO TAKE YACHT THEY DECIDED THEY WERE ABOVE THE LAW AND NOT ONLY TOOK YACHT BUT SOLD IT. THEN THE BROKER LIED AND FALSIFIED INFORMATION DURING AND AFTER THE SALE.

Robert, your report DOES NOT say who the investigating agency is. This is your quote: "Well the law says different and an investigation was just opened up today and ill keep everyone informed. " But you did not say who the agency was. It would have been very simple to say who it was in your reply. I asked for no B.S. Once again, who is the investigating agency and why are you skirting that question?

Below is some copys of emails i got responding to my situation. All the brokers here are from florida and are saddened one bad apple can spoil a bunch Robert, You can go to the Florida Business and Professional Regulation website and get all the answers which you pose. http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=Ch0326/titl0326.htm&StatuteYear=2006&Title=->2006->Chapter%20326 You may NOT sell any boat for a commission above 30 or 32 feet in length in the state of Florida if you are not licensed as a salesman under a broker for two years. In addition, the broker of record is responsible for the escrow account, not the salesman. You cannot have any comingling of funds at all. The state laws are crystal clear on that and have been enforced on a regular basis.All funds have to be deposited into the broker's company account. I hope that this helped answer your questions. PETER SCHIMDT IS THE BROKER OF RECORD. THE SAME GUY ABOVE WHO LIED ABOUT AN ATTORNEY TELLING HIM STUFF HE DIDNT. Good Day Robert, I am sorry that you had such an awful experience because we are not all bad, and unfortunately it only takes one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch. Good luck with your efforts. I TRULY BELIEVE THERE ARE GREAT BROKERS OUT THERE AND THIS STATEMENT SAYS IT ALL "IT ONLY TAKES ONE BAD APPLE TO SPOIL THE WHOLE BUNCH" Hi Robert, It looks like you had a lot of problems with documentation. The marina lease, the listing agreement between you and the broker, etc. If it isnt in writing it is difficult to say who is right. As for the marina taking your boat, that kind of thing is usually called Theft of Property. But that is just my opinion, Im not a lawyer. Side deals are usually considered unethical and in many cases illegal. It just depends on what documents were signed. Unfortunately I cant really say much about the buyers commission refund because I dont know what documents he signed. Naturally, the situation you described sounds illegal/unethical. All of which is to say, this is a good example of why a buyer and a seller both need a reliable company to broker their deal. Good Luck These are just a few of many samples ive gotten. Many brokers and auctioneers have called and not only amazed but disgusted. This case doesnt take a rocket scientist as the above comment said "the law is crystal clear" Robert

Now will he be man enough to admit his broker played a role in it and his company made a mistake or will the state have to do it for him. As you will see by the comments made by schmidt below he clearly admits the taking of yacht and selling of it was illegal. Unfortunately for all concerned, after the fact, the parties found that boat had been seized improperly and that the auction was not valid. Mr. Perrintino, Mr. M--- and United Yacht Sales were as surprised as anyone when this happened. Attorney Eckstein had improperly advised his clients of the process. Robert keeps saying a group stole the boat, when in fact the States Attorney would not prosecute and the hotel/marina had simply gone about the seizing process incorrectly Hmmmmm after the fact huh... its funny i told his brokers months before it was illegally taken and they even tried to show it while it was chained up. old peter is trying to make you believe they knew nothing about it when their brokers were going down keeping an eye on it for me. " ATTORNEY ECKSTEIN HAD IMPROPERLY ADVISED HIS CLIENTS OF THE PROCESS" Thats called ignorance of the law = grand theft=broker lying. Then he goes on to say the state attorney would not prosecute due to the fact it was just a simple mistake.( i wonder if that would work on a bank robbery, what about an arson?, or maybe a terrorist attack? sounds like a great defense to me) Im wondering what an idiot looks like that would make stupid comments like this. (go to united yacht sales web site go down brokers names click peter schmidt) the picture explains enough. Interestingly enough, we found out today from Mr. M's attorney that Robert has since lost the case with the hotel/marina over the dockage fees and the boat has been seized again and will be auctioned off again. Hopefully this time they have done this correctly. In our conversation with Mr. M's attorney we were told that Mr. M--- and Mr. Perrintino have an acceptable agreement where Mr. M--- will be paid. Mr. M---- has no bones to pick with United Yacht Sales or with Mr. Perrintino. He has not complained to the state and knows of no investigation. *** now this idiot says he spoke to an attorney that made comments he didnt because the lying schmidt made false statements. ( would you want to trust this man to buy or sell your boats) oh yes and it was seized again... and of course that was a false statement also. anyone who allows his brokers to break the law, falsify statements online,quotes attorneys he never spoke to, and still to today hasnt taken responsibility for his brokers and his mistakes is someone you shouldnt do business with. i will keep you posted as more develops. please feel free to contact me direct if you have more questions. oh and i was also told by my sources today peter schmidt is thinking about adding on his business website to defend my allegation and try to make my family look bad. The facts are here and i can assure you he couldnt tell the truth if his life depended on it. it must really suck to have an out of state guy catch you with your pants down, then you panic and go on line and lie. more to come soon

As of friday evening i just spoke to Mc carthy and he was interviewed again this evening. I know mc carthy was told eckstein told the state the boat and area around it had signs/fliers advertising the (illegal ) auction. Mc carthy who was there at the boat on a friday three days before the auction was all over the dock area , boat, and much of the hotel grounds. He was also there saturday also and believe sunday before he left. He took many pictures while there those few days of the boat, marina and nowhere was there a sign anywhere posted advertising an auction. Three days later on that tuesday pirritino swayed him to the auction. After the auction mc carthy was never notified by hotel attorney eckstein or his broker representative pirritino during the two weeks after the sale while he was getting his money together. After he got his money together he wired it to hotel attorney eckstein. He left that same day to head down and get his new boat. He met pirritino and headed down where they went to ecksteins office, at this point he hears storys he never heard up to this point, the attorney told him heres your bill of sale you need to get this filed quickly the old owner is calling every police agency trying to get his boat back and pirritino agreed. he now thought he was heading to hotel to get his boat (where him and his wife see it there 3 days earlier) but he was told it was up the keys 20-30 miles hidden from the old owner. The boat was hidden behind john evans house owner of hydro thunder watersports/old town tours inc. Evans is the same guy (thief) the hotel hired to go take boat originally and lied to the fwc officers on the scene (state moron police who gave my $160-$180,000 dollar boat away then lied afterwords) then lied to another fwc officer several months later and i have all this on their reports. Although when mc carthy told the dbpr today about his many pictures showing there was never any notification on or around the boat like the hotel attorney lied about and they didnt ask to see the pictures. The broker knew about the illegal auction even telling mccarthy on his way to the boat the reason they had to go get the boat and it wasnt at the marina is because they didnt want the owner to find it. again the same story the attorney told him. they sell my d**n yacht illegaly,lie to someone to sell it,lied to me being a customer of the brokerage,putting commision money in a private account, hiring broker defends his brokers illegal acts tells me to go fu$% myself, broker after i confront him weeks later tells me to sue him, and they steal my d**n yacht to begin with. The state delays making a decision and drags this out i hope this easy decision is made quickly by the dbpr broker section my family has suffered long enough. i will keep everyone posted as new information is available.

I just posted an update 20 minutes ago and already three south florida brokers have called. What was said is this" A broker can in no way show your boat to a potential buyer then call and tell him about an auction on your boat through someone else and not be a broker when representing that sale if the boat is over 33? feet. They also said" if the court gave them no permission to go take and sell your yacht they stole it" also even if the broker hadnt showed the boat to anyone and found this buyer somewhere else they still couldnt do the deal on their own. They also asked if the hiring broker fired this person? I told them no, They clearly said not only is what that broker did totally unethical its illegal. Robert

Since i wrote my last information yesterday we have had well over 14 new broker calls from florida yesterday. Including a trade magazine who wants to contact us about the story. All brokers again who called said something is very wrong here on how this broker represented the listed seller (myself) and steered a buyer to an illegal auction. The all clearly say monies cannot be fanagled inot seperat accounts other than the brokerage escrow account. They(brokers) were amazed when they also found out afterwords the broker spent the money then later called mc carthy to set up payments, he made one payment then wouldnt return mc carthys calls. It wasnt until i posted the facts on the internet the broker lawrence perritino and his broker peter schmidt called mc carthy and his attorney wanting to get payments arranged again. Everyone is still courious to see how/if the DBPR will say it was legal, he represented the sale of your yacht and leading mc carthy to believe he was a broker at the sale(didnt say he wasnt) when three days earlier he was definately a broker when mc carthy went into his office and he showed my boat even giving the potential buyer a sales/purchase agreement to take home and decide on(didnt tell me he was showing yacht). I will update everyone as soon as i know more. Thanks for the honest brokers who gave their honest/professional opinions of this ordeal. Its good to see all of you believe the laws should be enforced equally and there are definately laws broken here.

As Peter mentioned in one of his above statements the DBPR calls him from time to time asking his opinion on certain issues. Well there may be more to that than we know. Below is the statement he made above about them calling him for certain issues "In fact the dept calls me from time to time asking my opinion on certain issues. I would ask you to call the state to confirm this." What we do know as of now... Tuesday the state DBPR calls me questioning me about the case. To my surprise they keep bringing up the CLAIM the hotel made of back rent owed. As i told them that was a civil issue but explained my side of the story anyway. I also stated the rent the hotel CLAIMED was owed was not part of their legal enforcement issues. Afterwords i spoke to mc carthy and was told when they called and questioned him they also brought up the rent issue. ( why nobody knows?) That evening (tuesday) i called mc carthy and told him something fishy was going on in the way the investigators were confused on certain parts of what happened as it related to our witness statements. I asked mc carthy tuesday night if he would sit in on the conversation Wednesday at 10am he said yes i wanted him to witness what was going on. Several times during this call i when i was asked a question or answered one they would tell me to lower my voice. Mc carthy said today " you were in no way loud yesterday thats your normal voice" Now please remember i have a hearing problem also so i tend to talk louder than a normal person. But in no way was i yelling. I personally told them and mc carthy said he told them also he was going to make an offer to me when lawrence perritino called him and told him " the yacht is being auctioned off tomorrow from the hotel" and then he went on to tell him " the hotel owns the yacht" this same brokers brokerage firm had a listing with me to sell my yacht. He then lies and misleads mc carthy along with hotel saying " they own the boat" I had a prominent maritime attorney call me yesterday from florida and listened to the whole situation, he asked a very easy question " if i call the coast guard documentation center and ask them who they had as owner at the time of sale what would they tell me"? the answer was simple, our corporation. He then said they didnt own the boat nor did they have a right to mislead a person into believing they did. Mc Carthy told me yesterday " if the broker and marina had told me the truth before the purchase i would never had purchased the yacht". He also clearly said " it wasnt till after i wired the money and was walking into hotel attorney alan eckstein's office to pick up bill of sale he then told me " you need to get this transfer papers in quickly because the owner of the yacht is starting to cause problems. As everyone can see mc carthy was set up and lied to by lawrence perritino broker ( broker under peter schmidts license) and hotel attorney eckstein. What upsets me after the DBPR investigators spoke to me and mccarthy and was clearly told ( i wasnt on phone during mc carthys call but hes never lied yet) by both of us he was represented by broker perrintino. Now how can a broker represent and show my boat three days earlier as a broker then three days later steer a buyer to an auction he knows was illegal. ( the broker perrintino knew it wasnt legal because they were informed by me it was illegally taken and agreed it was) The DBPR made a comment to the effect he didnt have enough time to be a broker because of the quickneess of the notification to the sale( one day notice) if that was the truth as me and mc carthy have both said he had plenty of time to run an abstract of title to see who owned boat at that time he also has enough time to tell mc carty he couldnt be a broker for whatever reason(he didnt). Several days ago i sent out e mails to many brokers in florida giving them the scenerio of what happened with no names mentioned. as of yesterday my wife and i got over 20 calls and everyone said the same thing you cannot mingle money into side accounts when your a licensed broker. They also said Peter Schmidt has been around a while and has a few friends in different agencies. They were all amazed so far at how the DBPR has made some of the comments they have when the laws are black and white several also saying "severe fines should be imposed on all brokers involved including schmidt and possible license revokesions should be done also". One thing for sure mc carthy and i after he listened to the conversation clearly agreed this doesnt look promising. I have promised all brokers who have contacted me i would not mention names and all asked to be kept informed on what happens which i will do for them and everyone here following this situation. As for closing, the DBPR auctioneer section clearly knows the law was broken when hotel auctioned off a yacht that wasnt in their names and their head attorney in that department after hearing how the boat was taken said "if you went and took a yacht under statute 328.17 its grand theft", in just a few minutes time. Many conversations throughout this ordeal i have recorded from police agencies to state officials to state attorneys and the funny thing is ALL clearly say a felony grand theft was commited but none of them have done anything about it( i would bet it would have if i lived in florida). After all investigations are over i will be posting all recorded conversations on the internet so everyone can see who knew a crime was commited, who changed their storys, and who lied. It will all be available soon. I will hope the DBPR proves me wrong and not only finds these brokers guilty of breaking the laws as they did, but takes all measures possible under the law to hold them accountable. As ive been told many times from many florida people" your an out of stater the people here will favor their own in state people a majority if the time" if thats how the laws are in florida, im glad im not a resident. Oh yes i also sent out many letters to auctioneers about the way the yacht was illegally auctioned off they all agree the law was broken and hope these people are punished to the fullest extent of the law also. I WILL KEEP EVERYONE POSTED as i have said and will say " you cannot do an impartial investigation if you dont have all the facts" and " getting into issues that are civil matter and do not pertain to the investigation only muddys the water" someone saying another owed rent is civil someone taking a yacht without court authorization is grand theft. An auctioneer who operates without a license or who conducts his business in a way prohibited by the auctioneering law commits a felony, punishable with up to five years in prison. Violators are also subject to (1) license revocation, (2) an administrative penalty imposed by the board of up to $ 1,000, and (3) a reprimand (Fla. Stat. Ann 468. 381 to 468. 399).

Hello everyone, Sorry for the delays in responding to your many emails. I have been on line emailing and getting tons of calls returned from licensed reputable brokers throughout florida. I have yet to find one broker who says anything less than several laws were broken. Im awaiting to see what the state will come down with as far as violations or if they will side with the broker Peter Schmidt who claims to be great friends with these people. The state has recieved their information from Lawrence Perritino im told and have spoken to Mc Carthy. Although i sent the brief description they asked for they feel that was enough for them and did not need anymore from me. The State DBPR regulates these brokers and needs to set an example that lying, no escrow accounts used, brokers cannot lie and hold information from a person (myself) they have a contract with to sell their yacht. No broker ever called to inform me of the sale nor did they contact me to tell me it was sold, WHY... its simple they knew what they were doing was illegal. Just before the sale and after when i called to see if the brokers heard anything about my yacht both lied and said no, knowing they were involved in the sale. It wasnt until 2-3 weeks later when i got information from coast guard documentation center saying they had a bill of sale for my yacht. After contacting mc carthy who bought boat i then found out my own broker representatives sold me out. If the state is true about their laws and regulations and fair in investigation, there will be atleast several serious violations commited. After being confronted about the situation Peter Schmidt tries to defend his broker by saying he did a side deal and was no way affiliated with the company while doing so. What a disgrace to the brokers and community who follow the laws everyday. I have also been contacted by several boating publications throughout florida for the story but waiting for the verdict first. MORE TO COME Robert

Hello Robert, Haven"t seen anything posted lately wanted to see if theres been any new developments. I had several friends tell me they were in the market for a boat and ive told everyone to read about this company and avoid them. Wanted to also let you know i spoke to several yacht brokers who tell me they have already heard about this situation and have been watching it closely. Everyone is curious to see what the state will do to these individuals? It will also be interesting to see after this Peter's comments if he's really friends with this state group investigating or if the state doesnt care who he is and enforce the law? Everyone ive spoken to so far in the business clearly say you have been screwed by these people, now everyone waits and watches to see if justice will get done. Keep us posted please

It has ome to our attention Peter Schmidt has had his brokers telling false storys about the situation. The brokers have falsely been telling customers a man who didnt pay his bills and had his yacht reposessed(stolen) is mad at the world and taking it out on poor Peter Schmidt. The brokers are going as far as to say nobody in their company is under investigation. They are also not telling anyone under florida laws its illegal to take and sell someones yacht without court authorization(i have 15 police agencies in florida clearly saying it was a grand theft) under florida laws peter schmidt is clearly not telling you also its illegal for a broker to not put money into an escrow account after a sale. Lawrence Perritino had his commision money wired into a private account and he spent it right away. The hiring broker himself is responsible for these actions as well. Its funny how a broker for this company can break the laws while the hiring broker doesnt give a d**n he did so. If the DBPR follows the broker laws and looks at the evidence you will see soon the sales brokers perritino and randy rhode along with hiring broker peter schmidt have broken several serious laws. not to mention the lying schmidt did on line saying an attorney told him the court case was lost by me along with saying the boat was re arrested again which was false seeing he never spoke to the attorney he claimed he did. Anyone in this business should be outraged to see a fellow broker not only broke the laws but discrased an industry so many have worked so hard to keep clean. Robert I WILL BET PERRITINO WILL TRY AND SAY HE WAS WORKING FOR HIMSELF DURING THIS SALE (ALSO ILLEGAL) AND WILL SAY HE DIDNT KNOW HE BROKE THE LAW OR COULDNT REPRESENT HIMSELF. THE TRUTH IS " IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE OF THE LAW" AND YES THE HIRING BROKER SCHMIDT DID KNOW THE LAWS AND SAT BACK WHILE IT HAPPENED

At United Yacht Sales, we all work very hard to earn our client's trust "one boat at a time". Here is a line on united yacht sales website i thought was a joke. Someone needs to clue peter in on "clients trust" the best was to get that would be to NOT LIE-NOT MISREPRESENT-HAVE YOUR BROKERS FOLLOW THE LAW- DONT TURN CLIENTS ONTO BOATS YOU KNOW WERE STOLEN- DEPOST FUNDS INTO ESCROW, NOT BROKERS PRIVATE ACCOUNTS- READ AND FOLLOW THE LAWS GOVERNING BROKERS THESE ARE JUST A FEW THINGS THE GREAT PETER SCHMIDT SHOULD LEARN TO DO BEFORE MAKING A STATEMENT LIKE THE ONE ABOVE ( AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO TEACH THE SAME TO YOUR BROKERS) Robert

As everyone has clearly seen Peter Schmidt of United Yacht Sales has lied many times on this blog and still defends his reputation. Im not sure about florida but anywhere else the saying goes ONCE A LIAR ALWAYS A LIAR and from your e mail responses many believe the same thing. As an individual everyone has the right to chose who sells their boats or who they buy from and after talking to many boat brokerage owners theres clearly a great group of reputable people out there. I recieved an e mail from the president of Carolina Classics who returned my e mail asking if his company supports someone like Peter Schmidt who has clearly lied and their broker has broken the laws in which Schmidt supports. Clearly mac the president sayd he only knows of the situation through the blog and prefers to stay out of it. One would have to wonder with such evidence of Peter Schmidts lies on here how a company could trust this person to represent their boats. I would also have to say with the abundance of evidence on here of schmidt lying would you want to buy a used boat from him let alone a new one? I would guess anyone having this company represent them for used and NEW boats would be very leary of the lies hes not only posted but got caught in. And to have a company allow this company to sell their new boats when the lies on here are clear makes a person wonder, is this company just allowing any broker to represent their new boat line just to get sales not caring what kind of people they really are? I believe mac made a comment about how good their service has been thus far, i would bet Enron's service was great also until the truth come out. Thanks for the many support letters already today and i will make sure consumers who are looking to sell,buy a new or used boat look at peter schmidts lies and hopefully make a better choice going somewhere else. And anyone looking to buy new boat, if a company allows a liar,dishonest person like this to sell their boats i think i would have to look at other boats especially when honesty is what anyone deserves when being sold an expensive investment such as a new boat. And when a new boat manufacturer doesnt require that of their own representatives who can you trust? The truth is black and white peter schmidt has lied and continues to lie nothing has changed.

For those of you following along Mr Peter schmidt wants to stop. I guess if i lied that many times and my "spotless record" was on the line and i looked like a dumba@@ that many times i would want to stop also. But truth be told i havent even begun until today. The last few days were just the sparklers before the fireworks display. Im also surprised companys like Chris Craft boats would even associate with a liar like this? I wonder if they know what kind of representative they have working for them? Would anyone even buy a new boat from a company like this who lies,cheats, allows money after sales to be put in brokers NON escrow accounts? As far as a lengthly conversation with mc carthy im betting thats a lie i was told by a good source he called mc carthy and was told he couldnt talk about it to call his attorney( is that what he means by lengthly conversation with mc carthy) As far as mc carthys attorney as ive said he did speak to him i can verify that BUT it wasnt till after i exposed his dirty deals did him or lawrence perritino call and thats because they knew the law was broken. Ole Ptere wants you to believe theyve had communications going on with mc carthy for a while when in fact after the broker spent mc carthys commision money and had to return it he set up payments because he spent the money. one payment made nothing heard from lawrence now i post the story and wahlah lawrence,peter and i would bet the dog even called. These are liars,thieves,fraudulant people and im sure everyone can clearly see it by the lies peters already posted. Until justice is served and my family is given back for our suffering this company has helped cause over the last year this is never over peter so wake up sit back and enjoy the show today. For the many e mails of support ive gotten in the last several days thank you, and peter schmidt will pay for what his broker and his company has done. lied-lied-lied-lied And to top it off after taking part in the auctioning off the illegal boat which he knew about, and got cought with his pants down on refunding the commision ,peter schmidt then tries to say his broker wasnt working as a broker he was doing it as a private individual..

HERE WE GO AGAIN, The great Peter Schmidt now has another story. And yes everyone the part where he says he doesnt know fast_yachts but may find out later (im sure he will find out because he already knows) he also wants you to find out what kind of person your dealing with? hmmmmm lets see the kind i see is a liar who makes statements like" the boat was arrested for a second time" or " he lost his case" thats the kind of person were dealing with a business owner who lies,decieves, allows brokers to break laws and supports it, did i say makes false statements ? Peter Schmidt was the same person earlier who said he wasnt going to comment again either? hmmmm he didnt lie again did he? I believe with the many many emails today of support my family will keep fighting for justice. I will make sure Peter Schmidt and his company are known around the country to everyone from boat manufacturers to potential customers what kind of liars and cons they really are. I guess if a yacht broker lied to you helped sell your yacht they knew was illegaly taken then has the poor buyers money sent to a private bank account for their commision ( which they spent quickly)and lied to the buyer of the yacht(they represented) they would make refund payments on his commision and then quit making them, just think if peter schmidt had his broker properly put the money in escrow and followed the laws of florida the broker never would have spent it. And if his brokers never lied to me who they had a contract with to sell my yacht telling me they didnt know anything about a sale ( even several days after the sale) when they participated in it. After lying on his posting just a couple days ago he now wants you to call him? Maybe he wants to tell people how to sell yachts illegaly and hide the money? maybe he wants new brokers getting into the business to call him so he can tell them how to hide money except this time maybe he has a way of not getting caught. Maybe he has an idea for a how to broker scam people .com web site. whatever it is you can bet its lies just like the many hes posted. Robert

I was very upset to see a post a person makes claiming ownership of a business to have a second post saying it was a misunderstanding. Clearly in your post this Peter stated an attorney told him certain facts and now to come back and say misunderstanding, that is a farce. I went back on the internet to find this Robert has clearly covered the crime that has happened to him and the story stays the same. I have also saw where people have made comments on " if he paid his rent none of this would have happened" I find this hard to believe and just another way to get peoples attention off the subject of the true crime that has happened here. The rent issue is a civil matter and clearly no laws allow the taking of anothers property without court authorization. Clearly several individuals are trying to get off the subject and take peoples attention off what this persons arguement is. Ive said in my earlier styatement i was not washing my hands of this company yet. After the recent posts i dont know how anyone could make statements that were clearly false then try to say it was a misunderstanding. I personally have sought after another broker service that does not have a shadow like this lingering over them to handle the sale of my yacht. I will continue following the post and look forward to hearing what the outcome is. Robert if you get any new information please feel free to e mail me direct, I did send my address to you through your other blog. I hope your family gets the justice you deserve, its a shame people who state their side of the story have to make false statements then expect the public to believe their innocent. I will also recommend to my friends and family who are looking to buy or sell a boat to read this link first before making a decision. Good luck in your journey for justice, I can see it will be difficult seeing some people dont want to tell the truthful facts and keep changing their storys.... Good Luck

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am dealing with someone who knows no bounds. Robert is now emailing people whose addresses he takes from our web site. We think that's how he's getting the addresses. He's alerting them that they should not do business with United Yacht Sales because of the accusations he is making and further refers them to the blog reports. He or an associate have also made calls to people with whom we do business ,ultimately telling them we are not to be trusted. He has now written that he has an inside source at United Yacht Sales who warned him that Fast_Yachts was going to make a statement on another blog that Robert is using. Do you really think Robert has an inside sourse? I also have no idea who Fast_Yachts is nor did I ask anyone to make comments on this. I may find out later who Fast-Yacht is, but I don't know now. At this point, frankly, I hope anyone reading this attack by Robert will make comments on the blogs. I hope they call me ( you will find my number on the web site www.unitedyacht.com), I hope they call Mr. McCarthy's attorney (I will give you that information when you call me, no phone numbers allowed on this blog), I hope they call the state (Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Marine Division) . I hope anyone interest will find out just what type of person we are dealing with. I hope your day is going better than mine! Peter Schmidt

Robert. Enough is enough! The state will make their judgement regarding your complaints. The court will make its judgement regarding your dispute with the marina. When those things happen, let's report the results. That's the way the system should work.

Hello Robert, To have a vessel arrested it falls under maritime laws in which you have to file a suit against the vessel just like a person then have the Federal Marshalls arrest vessel which they did do late in the game after they tried to sell the yacht and it was told to them by the Coast Guard Documentation center without court paperwork allowing you to go take yacht and sell it they would not transfer paperwork thats why mc carthy got a refund. The sad part is as you can clearly see the boat was stolen and the brokerage company Marathon boats and yachts along with peter schimdt knew it was illegaly taken then when a buyer responds to their ad about my boat for sale they had listed they grab the buyer tell him about the illegal auction and represent him during the sale. After the sale the broker has money wired into his account for his commision(illegal) and spent it before mc carthy was told he wasnt getting boat transferred to his name. The laws i posted above that govern brokers are clear peter schmidt after lying numerous times now wants everyone to believe his broker wasnt being a broker he was just a person there representing the buyer at the auction and got a commision but he wasnt a broker. As you can also clearly see the broker peter schmidt made numerous false statements about talking to lawyers and cases being won that never happened. One would have to ask is this the kind of liar i would want representing me buying a yacht? He talks about his great record in the industry when one broker i spoke to in miami yesterday said " united yacht is a group of smartasses and although the situation was stupidity it didnt surprise them" to answer your question robert in any other state its a theft in florida taking a yacht is just helping yourself and is not illegal. having a broker go and represent a buyer when they knew it was illegaly taken is in thier opinion just another day at the office.

OK, now I gotta ask: How do you ARREST a yacht? Not once, but twice! It was re-arrested. No it wasn't! LOL! I have a 19 foot runabout and I can't imagine anyone ARRESTING it! Who arrested it, the marina? Are they part of law enforcement? LOL! Seems to me the yacht was STOLEN by the marina! But hey, in the world of political correctness STOLEN = ARRESTED. What seems to have happened is the marina was owed money and resorted to self-help - stole the yacht and held it ransom. That's illegal here in NY, but hey, the marinas up here don't ARREST anything!

Above peter Schmidt the man who posted friday a bunch of lies now tries to again cover them up. (Peter schmidt) as you can all read now goes on the record to say he didnt speak to any attorney along with trying to defend his lies. He clearly states he spoke to m's = mc carthys attorney in which i said he didnt and of course he didnt. He also makes false statements in saying the boat was re -arrested and i lost a case that didnt happen. what he doesnt say because most liars dont is the truth. The truth is peter schmidt and united yacht sales along with his brokers through their sister company marathon boats and yachts have commited serious violations according to the state laws that govern brokers. Its really simple anyone like Peter Schmidt who comes on the internet(see above) and makes statements that he spoke to attorneys who told him things that arent true. he didnt even speak to attorneys. As far as to answer the liars comments about how someone could find out about a court case between certain hours is simple. First of all i put the case number on the internet months ago. Anyone can go on the internet through different services and pull a court case pretty much up to the day. Hey peter schmidt try looking up a service called pacer service you can see cases and postings that are pretty much up to date. So that means you dont have to falsify talking to attorneys you didnt speak to. Everyone here can clearly see youve lied and tried to cover your as*, a real man now would admit your wrongs and make amends for the suffering your group has put my family through. Making comments someone owes money for something you have no d**n clue about or proof of is the sign of a coward who got cought with their pants down breaking the law and tries to use statements like " he owed money for rent" i dont remember anyone making Peter Schmidt judge and jury? I will keep everyone updated and we will all see if Mr Peter Schmidt will be a man and take responsibilities for his company representatives wrongs, or will he wait for the state to tell him hes wrong. Time will tell.

I have been advised to just let this go. Unfortunately I'm so upset that our good name has been slandered and plastered over the Internet, I feel obligated to set the record straight. First regarding the headline United Yacht Sales is under investigation . I had not been contacted by the state. I have since spoken with them and it is Robert Krutko that has recently made a complaint against two of our brokers. United Yacht Sales nor I am under under investigation, the department will answer calls regarding the situation and confirm this. I have Florida license # 556 and have never been investigated in over 25 years. In fact the dept calls me from time to time asking my opinion on certain issues. I would ask you to call the state to confirm this. Last year I received a call from Robert. The conversation was very one-sided and of an aggressive nature. Robert was making accusations all over the place about everyone involved lying. He demanded that I turn in the broker's licenses. Knowing that there are two sides to every story, I spoke to the brokers and believe that they did nothing wrong and that they were not lying. Eventually the state will come to a conclusion and we will abide by whatever they say. However, it is unlikely they will censure the brokers. I was incorrect about one thing. The boat has not been arrested for the second time. It simply remains under arrest from the first time. I have been told that it will be auctioned again, because Robert didn't meet the demands of the court. I was wrong in assuming the auction was a result of the case being settled. It has not yet been tried. I found out these facts from a conversation with Mr. McCarthy's attorney. He has volunteered to take calls from anyone interested in checking out the facts. He has given me permission to give out his name and telephone number. Neither Mr. McCarthy, nor his attorney have any problem with United or broker Perrintino. Call me if you want his telephone number. What disturbs me the most about this is how easy it is for a disgruntled individual to cause so much harm to a good reputation. The Internet is truly an open forum where the facts don't really matter. I also take issue with the way we have been set up by Robert. He's angry and wants to take it out on everyone. His initial headline that United Yacht Sales under investigation is a tactic used by the drive by media to set people up. There are many inconsistencies in Robert's story. In one blog, southfloridasun responded within hours of the report, on the evening of Thursday July 5th. He wrote that he would be looking into the matter himself. By 8:30 the following morning he reported he had a conversation with the Federal Marshal about the boat. I couldn't even get the telephone number for the Federal Marshal by 8:30 the following morning. He then goes on to say that the court case # ... has not been tried as yet. That's true. Interestingly enough, I called the court myself and they would not give out any information without the case number, which was never mentioned in any prior postings to the blogs, nor would they give out a case number without the names and full particulars. None of this information had been detailed in any of these reports up to this point. Just how did southfloridasun find out this information by 8:30 the following morning? Also note the grammatical similarities between Robert and some of the responses. I'm highly suspicious of who southfloridasun is and what his motives are. Judge for yourselves. I am finding more about this daily. As of this moment, you know everything I know. I feel sorry for Robert, but we shouldn't forget that it was his inability to deal with a significant dockage bill that started the problems. Things have not gone well for him, but that's no reason to attempt to destroy a good reputation that has been built over years. Call me anytime. Peter Schmidt 772-463-3131

To whom it may concern, Ive read your situation followed by the person named Peter. I was shocked to see that a number of the comments made by this person is totally false. I contacted the southern District Federal Court with the case number you provided in one of your writeups. I did find out the case hasnt been heard yet nor has anyone won the case either. My wife also checked with the Marshals office here in south Florida to find the boat was never arrested a second time. My wife and i are amazed after doing the research to find many parts of peter's rebuttal was totally false. I did contact several brokers here in the area to get their opinion and was told there was definately a serious problem here and one also asked " are they in jail yet ?" I will continue to follow this situation and hope you keep us posted on the outcome of the State investigation you mentioned was also going on. The brokers I also spoke to said "Florida is one of the most strict states when it comes to brokers and the laws they must follow". I have not yet totally ruled this company out yet, but im going to wait and see the outcome of your situation. Good luck and hopefully if they are as legitimate as they say they are and they did make a mistake they will admit it sooner rather than after an investigation is done. I would appreciate if you could keep us updated on this situation. If this turns out to be this brokerage was wrong, we hope your family gets everything coming to them, this has to be very stressful. GOOD LUCK

You hit the nail on the head. The taking of the vessel without a court order was illegal. the coast guard documentation center the group who documented thios vessel and handles the transfers during sale would not allow mc carthy to transfer boat although marina gave him a bill of sale they saw it was illegal and said the marina who sold it must provide court documentation saying they had permission by the courts to go take and sell the yacht which they didnt . thats why mc carthy got a refund quickly. The sad part is i listed this yacht several months before the illegal taking of the yacht i notified both brokers in the office it was stolen and they knew it was. As far as going down there i wanted to but because of the stress i had very severe seisures and was in the hospital for 6-7 days also in heart unit. The brokers knew d**n well it was chained up illegaly but went behind my back while lying to me and taking a customer that stopped in to make an offer to me and see the boat, took him and sold him on the auction deal and instead of doing it legally and putting the money in escrow the broker spent his 7k commision then promised to make payments and made one then quit paying. During this theft incident a police report was filed but local police in key west area wouldnt even investigate due to the bubba system they got going on. Anyone knows when a crime of this magnitude is reported any police department with ommon sense does an investigation and none was done here. Two days before the sale mc carthy went to the marathon boats and yachts office to see boat and get information he left making a decision on an offer within two days or so the broker quickly called him notified him of the auction and me the client was never notified when it was my yacht the company had listed to sell. Its total bullshit and anyone can see by making a couple phone calls like some have already done you will see whos lying and whos not. BELOW IS A STORY RUN SEVERAL MONTHS AGO FRONT PAGE OF THE KEY WEST NEWS PAPER YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE MC CARTHY SAID "AUTHORIZED HIS BROKER" 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, 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 ANYONE HAVING ANY MORE QUESTION PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME OR DROP ME AN EMAIL WITH PHONE NUMBER ILL BE GLAD TO DISCUSS ALSO THE BOAT WAS NEVER RE-ARRESTED NOR HAS THERE EVEN BEEN A COURT CASE YET SO THE ABOVE POST BY PETER IS TOTAL LIES AFTER LIES THEY NEVER WON ANY COURT CASE BECAUSE THERE HASNT BEEN ONE YET

I have a small boat (gotta win the Lotto to have a yacht.) and if I owe dockage fees (I pay for a slip) and I move my boat, by WHAT RIGHT can the previous marina come take my boat, return it to the marina, and chain it up? In NY that is grand theft! Seems to me that the marina that was owed could have simply gone to court and had a lien put against the yacht. That would have lawfully prevented any sale of the yacht untill the matter was settled. Did the marina get a court order or lien against the yacht? It doesn't seem they did based on the owner rebuttal. So why not??? If I had heard a rumor that the previous marina was going to auction my boat, I would have done the following: Criminal complaint with law enforcement in the jurisdiction where the marina is located. Considering the value of the yacht I propably would have flown down there to personnally see what's going on and to spur law enforcement into action for stealing my yacht.

Robert has written a report of events that is totally inaccurate, full of half-truths and false accusations. This report is extremely slanderous toward United Yacht Sales and inaccurate. Unfortunately, individuals can post information on the internet that are inaccurate. That's the way the world works! A lot of damage has already been done to our company, since Robert has figured out how to bring this report up to position number 8 on a google search on United Yacht Sales. We would like to take the opportunity to set the record straight. United Yacht Sales and Marathon Boats, an affiliate, had a listing on Robert's boat. Robert owed the hotel/marina a significant amount of back dockage and refused to pay it. The hotel/marina had the boat seized and brought back to the marina. The hotel/marina had hired attorney Eckstein to implement this process. When the broker, Lawrence Pirrintino, found the boat chained to the dock at the marina, he was told to contact attorney Eckstein regarding the status of the boat. Attorney Eckstein told Pirrinto that the boat had been seized and would be put up for auction the following day, which unfortunately is not all that uncommon in the boating industry. Mr Pirrinto's client, Mr. M--- was interested in purchasing the boat. Mr Perrintino was told that he could not present an offer on the boat through the normal channels, but must participate in the auction. United Yacht Sales was not involved in the auction, did not present any offers and did not hold any money in escrow. Mr. M--- himself (the buyer) contacted attorney Eskstein directly and was assured the auction was legal and that they (hotel/marina) had every right to auction off the boat. Mr. M--- knew full well that the boat could not be bought through the normal brokerage channels. He agreed to pay Mr. Pirrintino for his time and effort to attend the action on his behalf and instructed Mr. Pirrinto what to bid via cell phone during the auction. United Yacht Sales, nor Marathon Boats ever received any monies in regard to this transaction, nor did they participate in it. Robert contends that he was lied to by the brokers involved. Well, he said / she said; all we know is that Mr. Pirrintino claims he did not lie and that in fact, Robert knew the boat was being seized. Attorney Eckstein showed Mr. Perrintino copies of certified letters that had been sent to Robert informing him of his problems with the hotel/marina and that the boat would be seized. Unfortunately for all concerned, after the fact, the parties found that boat had been seized improperly and that the auction was not valid. Mr. Perrintino, Mr. M--- and United Yacht Sales were as surprised as anyone when this happened. Attorney Eckstein had improperly advised his clients of the process. Robert keeps saying a group stole the boat, when in fact the States Attorney would not prosecute and the hotel/marina had simply gone about the seizing process incorrectly. Interestingly enough, we found out today from Mr. M's attorney that Robert has since lost the case with the hotel/marina over the dockage fees and the boat has been seized again and will be auctioned off again. Hopefully this time they have done this correctly. In our conversation with Mr. M's attorney we were told that Mr. M--- and Mr. Perrintino have an acceptable agreement where Mr. M--- will be paid. Mr. M---- has no bones to pick with United Yacht Sales or with Mr. Perrintino. He has not complained to the state and knows of no investigation. United Yacht Sales has listed over 2000 vessels since its inception in 2002 and sold over 1000 vessels. We have never even been to court, which is amazing in itself in the litigious world we live in. It's a shame that an individual can cause so much harm without any regard to the truth, but that's the way the new Internet world works. All we can really do is ask our past and future clients to look at the facts and not judge us, based on the ranting of one individual who obviously has problems. Please contact Peter Schmidt , CEO and founder of United Yacht Sales to discuss this and any other issue you may have with United Yacht Sales. We pride ourselves on our integrity and excellent reputation we have developed over the past 5 years.
