If someone you love has been affected by enterprise fraud — whether as a victim, a co-defendant, or a collateral casualty — this page is for you. No legal jargon. No judgment. Just clear information and support.

You are not alone. Enterprise fraud destroys families, not just businesses. We've seen it. We're building tools to fight back — and we want you to understand what's happening, in plain language.

What Happened — In Plain Language

Starboard Yacht Group (SYG) was a Seakeeper authorized dealer. Seakeeper makes gyro stabilizers for yachts — devices that stop boats from rolling. SYG invested $238,000 in inventory and built a business around this relationship.

Then Seakeeper terminated the dealer agreement — but kept billing SYG, kept inviting SYG to training, and kept issuing commissioning certificates through SYG. Meanwhile, they credited SYG's work to a competitor. This is what we call post-termination authorized relationship fraud.

The family homestead faces foreclosure. Business assets were seized and liquidated ($1.3M). The SBA loan is in default. Charles Jacob Stratmann is currently pro se in six active federal and state cases.
