Important Information
 

I just want to let everyone know that on Tuesday, September 16, at 2pm, Nathan Hunt (aka Captain Nate) is set to plea to the fraud charges for the theft of the monies from Jennifur's trust fund. The hearing will be at the Collier County courthouse. The Assistant State Attorney told me that anyone can be there. Some of us directly involved may be asked to speak. The judge (Honorable Katherine Krier) will then decide what sentence he will receive. If you are available, please attend. Jennifur will be there, and I would like to show her our continued support.................................Thanks, John.

I'll be there ....

Hans is that really you in the picture on the thread with all the tatoos?

guilty as charged:party-smiley-004:
That picture was taken around 1992 for a book that was published around that time....I've sagged a little since then:drink:

wow after seeing that photo I checked out the web site you have on your profile, and in the picture of you there I never would have guessed what was hiding under your shirt! You must surprise the heck out of people when you take your shirt off:D Do you sunburn through tatoos

John, Hans. I just booked my flight. Fly in Sunday night and back north Wednesday evening. See you all soon.

See you soon Bob.

I will juggle my schedule to be there.

Nate sentenced today
 

I posted this over in General Discussion and thought it should also appear here in John's thread.


A few weeks ago Nate Hunt had decided to plead guilty and pretty well throw himself upon the mercy of the court. He repaid most but not all of the money to Jennifur’s Trust Fund about a month ago. His sentencing was this afternoon.
He had some family a few friends there to plead on his behalf. He apologized to Jennifur in a statement to the court.
Trustee, John Barkley ( OSO Naples Baja ), myself and Jennifur spoke to the court on behalf of the State.
The end result was Nate was sentenced to 5 years of probation (no jail time), 30 days of community service on weekends, and ordered to pay the balance of the money owing as well as the interest the Trust had lost.
We are all glad it’s over. Thank you to the supporting cast of Ft Myers Offshore members who came to show their support for Jennifur. Hans H; John W; Tom C; Aaron W; Mark S;
Jennifur is doing well and extends her appreciation for what the offshore boating community is doing for her. Her schooling continues to go well and she is excited about the future. :)

In the paper one more time......:mad:

I am glad it is over for you, I know you wanted jail time for him, but I think between the cost of the trial, the stress, the embarrassment, the community service, the long probation, I bet he will not soon forget this or try something like this again.
You guys have done a great job you should be proud, Jennifur is one lucky gal to have you by her side, I think you have done a lot more for her then just the money.

5 years probation is a long time, plus the community service. It is meant to be a trap. If you screw up again(he will) or miss some portion of your sentence, your back in front of a judge. This will cost a lot of money and time for captn' nate . He cried in court for mercy. I hope he screws up bad again.

If he somehow missed community service in the 1st few weeks this case would still be fresh in the Judges mind...

:party-smiley-004:

Agree. It is only a matter of time before he screws up. We are told that Collier County is really tough of probation violators.
I hope I'm wrong and that he does turn his life around. Time will tell.
