What I don't understand, a few years ago everyone was sad Pantera was going out. Another performance boat builder going out. Another company added to the list. How many of you think there wasn't a wake of crap following the other company's last few months or years of trying to stay in business. Keeping a performance boat company going in today's world has to be pretty tough. Keeping everything paid is the biggest problem. Rent or mortgage insurance suppliers and utilities don't go away when you are sitting waiting on customers for a build. Casualties happen when your trying to stay alive. I'm not on anyone's side. Sorry to see what happened to berk. He could have got out a little better and chose to gamble. Let's just keep this winter entertainment going and see what happens. I would like to own a new 28 one day.

First of all, I WAS NEVER DISBARRED. Guess you can't read. I resigned and could have gone back years ago... But why? No one pays their bills in south fla anyway! ..and all would ask for favors lol.. I did more than my share of charity. And non violent smuggling almost 40 years ago was not a "crime of moral turpitude".
NOW, you are right..today the $$$ is in movies, TV and books, you got anyone with Writing ability and TV connections? Who knows, probably would be interesting.

Interesting...because after this post ,your name appears on some of the court Documents involving Pantera.
Esquire = a title appended to a lawyer's surname.
So, you where a lawyer for Pantera ?
And I just quickly clicked thru 1st page of documents....
Here's just one:

If you click link below in the quotes there are many legal judgments (Federal, state, private) shown against Pantera starting from 1980:
If you want to get a better read on Pantera and their history of non-payment and court judgments go to the site below and do a search on Pantera boat, Pantera powerboat, Pantera racing and others Pantera names, they used many. You could also search on family names. A person could spend an evening reading these court records and get a far better understanding of a very unsavory operation.
