Yes, the rules are in the MDA but the law applies the same as do all the fraud laws. Your point is an argument a license isn't required. However,...
Well, I didn't lawyer bash. All the legal strategy has pitfalls. My commercial letter of credit worked last time, done directly with the builder....
It was for multiple reasons. A major one was him continuing to do warranty service and sales after they terminated him. While he is claiming the...
This sale is very much covered under the Florida Yacht and Ship Brokers' Act....
Actually that document only indicates they believe Sunseeker knew how Obey was shuffling funds. However, it does not indicate that other than as...
That's easy to say and I've said people should do different than they do. However, as a practical matter, it's hard to protect against all risks...

I read "industry speak" and hear it as well, but I also have contacts who speak off the record and truthfully and they've expressed disappointment...
Which is what some of these do. The first time they're caught and fined, it gets reduced. Second time it gets very serious. I won't be at all...
