you open an entirely new chapter of this saga — perhaps the sequel to “the third lagoon."
the lack of resources i faced resulted from what new evidence proves was a three-person effort or civil conspiracy that effectively blocked my insurance coverage. because of that delay, i suffered significant harm. during that same period, the courts accepted the premise that the plaintiff might prevail and imposed approximately two million dollars in attachments against my residential home on farm island and all of my commercial assets and companies, effectively making me unbankable.
the plaintiffs orchestrated and timed what they referred to as “sister cases,” civil and criminal. the sixth amendment guarantees the rights of criminal defendants. as the civil case drove the criminal case and the two were conflated, i was effectively deprived of my constitutional protections. i could not borrow a dime to defend myself. only when i finally pierced the blockage of insurance coverage was i able to secure protection.
as a result, i was forced to operate three businesses for nearly three years — including my rapidly growing marine business — while carrying those attachments and operating in a drastically undercapitalized position. the pressure placed on my businesses and creditors during that time was immense. the financial losses stemming from the plaintiff’s actions, and the conduct of the other two individuals involved in the civil conspiracy, have been staggering.
to illustrate how burdensome the attachments were: when i ultimately secured $1.5 million in insurance coverage, i requested a partial release of the attached assets so i could continue normal business operations. the court declined that request. as a result, the practical exposure became roughly $3.5 million.
for context, the largest non-fatal attachment historically issued in carroll county was approximately $1.1 million. in my case, due to the plaintiff’s misrepresentations to the court, i was subjected to an attachment amount more than three times that figure ever awarded in carroll county superior court.
separately, the insurance coverage did not apply to the bogus criminal case that emerged after the civil case began to collapse.
despite all of these circumstances, i ultimately prevailed in all matters brought against me.
