United Yacht wins court case
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.
