Guest Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Another one from the only in America files and it could sink energy team if they have to pay up anything close to the 200k thats being demanded But Friday, as the French prepared for the regatta, Tholke's representatives presented them with a warrant from U.S. District Court to "arrest" the boat and take it into custody as soon as Sunday's races were over.

OYSTR 1 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Also odd that it "snapped its mooring line at the pier" on what was "thankfully.. a very calm night" Link to post Share on other sites
203 0 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Money grabbing bastard... What he said.. I think most good people would be happy with a ride on the boat for saving it, not try to claim 200k for saving a Ac cat.. Alot of that story sounds like complete and utter Bu%$ sh%t ... Who has more money and who can pay more for a better lawyer and a better court case? Energy team does.. Pretty high chance they would win.. Also odd that it "snapped its mooring line at the pier" on what was "thankfully.. a very calm night" Sounds abit llike a money making scandal to me... Link to post Share on other sites
