Why This Matters
Charles Stratmann built Starboard Yacht Group into South Florida's premier Seakeeper dealership. Then the enterprise moved in. Seakeeper terminated his dealership while continuing to use his services for 63 days post-termination. Bank of America seized and privately sold his vehicle without UCC notice. BlueWater Reel Estate converted $1.3M in marine equipment. Dan Ivankovich orchestrated a parallel bankruptcy fraud scheme.
Each defendant thought Stratmann would fold. Instead, he built PREDICATE — a fraud intelligence platform that indexed every document, every email, every invoice, and every court filing into a searchable RICO evidence database. Now he's the plaintiff in four federal cases with $500M in base damages, trebled to $1.5B under RICO, with fee-shifting statutes that align incentives for contingency counsel.
PREDICATE is not just a case management tool — it is a public-interest fraud intelligence infrastructure that proves fraud on the courts can be detected, documented, and punished. Every plaintiff case uses PREDICATE's evidence engine. Every attorney who joins gets a ready-made case at zero discovery startup cost.
