Boatslip owners face racketeering charges
PROVINCETOWN – The ongoing court battle over ownership of the Boatslip waterfront resort has entered a new phase in which one of the owners, Richard Ferrell, is accusing his partners of securities, mail and wire fraud in an alleged attempt to steal the waterfront hotel away from him.
Brian DeLaurentis, Ferrell’s attorney, is about to begin the discovery phase of a civil lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Florida. Charging 12 defendants with racketeering, including the seven other co-owners of the Boatslip, the lawsuit asks for $2.25 million in damages, plus attorney’s fees. Under discovery, depositions are taken from witnesses and evidence gathered for presentation in court. — PS
