I'll pass Here's a link to some local discussion about this guy. One poster to the board seems quick to defend Phillips, and responds to one person complaining about treatment by saying "You finally got a more expensive model than you paid for!" That inspired a comment that the defender must be suffering from "some sort of liberial (sic) mental disease!" My gosh, it reads almost exactly like rec.boats :-) http://blogs.king5.com/archives/2008...p-builder.html Among other accusations, Phillips is accused on the board of "splashing" Bayliners to create molds for his Tiger Trax line of ski boats. That's not the first time I have heard that mentioned. Apparently there is a direct link between Mirage Boats and Southpaw Marine in Des Moines, WA. Southpaw is the one and only dealer for these boats. Supposedly the previous owner, current partial owner, or somebody somehow connected now or previously with Southpaw is the production manager who got stiffed for several thousand dollars in back wages. Sounds like Southpaw is just another victim, and not really a co-conspirator. White collar crime goes largely unpunished. When I was in the car business, I got stung by a counterfeit cashier's check. This was years ago, before the practive became common. I found out from the cops that a group of people had gone through Seattle on Easter weekend and purchased about $100k in used cars, jewelry, electronics, etc with these bogus checks. At that time, I was told that there were a total of *three* cops in the Seattle Police Department assigned to investigate check fraud. "All we can do is take the report. If the people get arrested for something else, we will bring these charges to the attention of the porsecutor's office at that time." (I got that particular car back when the perps parked it in an "impound zone" down in Portland, Ore. Cost me a $200 impound fee, a day's time, and train fare to Portland but that was better than being out a fairly late model Buick Regal). |
