Pier 8 Yacht Brokers - Jeff Miller BOAT THEFT JERSEYVILLE ONTARIO

This boat was brought to Jeff Miller on consignment late June 2015.   He was to provide us with a Brokerage Consignment Agreement which he purposely avoided to produce in spite of making several requests for it and always given a series of excuses.  First question asked of the transport driver as the boat was being delivered to him was whether I was a "connected guy".  This information was relayed to me at a later time.

After many attempts to contact Jeff by phone and email, he finally admitted that he had sold the boat for $100,000 when we were asking $140,000.  He admitted to collecting $100,000 and delivered the boat to Port Dover without any brokerage agreement or any written pernission to do so.  The Port Dover buyer was charged the delivery costs.  The Port Dover buyer came to us to get the vessel licence as he was not provided one by Jeff.  At this time, we informed the buyer that this was a stolen boat. 

Service Canada was contacted immediately and a notice was placed to not allow any transfer of the Vessel Licence as this was a stolen boat and legal action was being undertaken.  Jeff Miller defrauded Service Canada and managed to obtain a Transfer of  the Vessel Licence by providing falsified ducuments.  Jeff Miller further defrauded Canada Revenue by providing improper paperwork to justify his sale of the boat to the Port Dover buyer.  No HST was collected.  

We continue, to this day, pursuing this legal matter.  

It is mind blowing that after nearly 10 years, we have not been able to resolve this matter within our legal police and court system.  We would appreciate any help and direction in this matter.
