ATTORNEY CASE BRIEF — CONFIDENTIAL

Starboard Yacht Group v. Seakeeper/Madison

S.D. Fla. · D. Md. · 11th Circuit · DE Chancery

A compiled federal RICO case with $680.65M base damages ($2.04B treble), 159 predicate acts, and 16,090+ Bates-stamped documents. Ready for lead counsel review.

Executive Summary

Starboard Yacht Group (SYG) was a captive dealer for Seakeeper Inc. (a $2B+ marine gyroscopic stabilizer manufacturer). Despite a claimed termination date of December 2, 2024, Seakeeper continued to invite SYG to training, issue commissioning certificates, and bill SYG through at least June 2026 — 18 months post-termination. This pattern, combined with coordinated foreclosure actions by Seacoast National Bank, establishes a RICO enterprise targeting SYG's trade secrets, dealer network, and customer base.

Procedural Posture

Two parallel tracks: (1) S.D. Fla. CMR v. Ivankovich — bench trial completed, post-trial motions pending; (2) D. Md. 1:26-cv-01332 — demand letter served on Madison/Seakeeper ($154M). 11th Circuit appeal filed (Case 26-10941-C). Multiple state court actions in FL and IL. Delaware Chancery action (2026-0495-MTZ) active before VC Zurn.

DE 299 / DE 287 Issue

DE 287 is a default judgment in CMR v. Ivankovich containing sworn factual findings. DE 299 is a subsequent filing that contradicts DE 287's factual basis. The contradiction between these filings — both authored by the same counsel (Moore & Company PA) — establishes sworn inconsistencies across courts. This is central to the Rule 60(b)(3) motion: the default judgment was obtained through misrepresentation.

Rule 60(b)(3) Standard

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(3) allows relief from judgment for fraud, misrepresentation, or misconduct by an opposing party. The standard requires: (1) a judgment; (2) obtained through fraud/misrepresentation; (3) by an opposing party; (4) that was not discoverable by reasonable diligence within the one-year limitation period. The 29 verified sworn contradictions across 5 courts satisfy this standard.
