Lawrence pirritino of united yacht sales aka united yachts is a law breaker and liar. Recently i had my yacht listed with his brokerage through his office. Lawrence not only lied to several people he knowingly took part in the sale of a stolen yacht then as a licensed broker commingled money into his side corporation fin and fly marine.
The florida yacht and ship brokers act clearly states anyone representing the buy or sell of a yacht for commission over 33 feet must do so as a broker. Lawrence did this deal and when exposed weeks later his boss went on record saying lawrence pirritino was doing this on his own not as a licensed broker.
Three days before taking part in the illegal sale he took a client kevin mc carthy to see the yacht as my broker and even gave him a sales purchase agreement to take home and make me an offer.
Three days later he called this same buyer, lied to him saying this thieves owned the yacht and were selling it off at auction. He also asked him if he could represent him. Lawrence pirritino clearly broke several laws costing victims tens of thousand of dollars.
After the illegal sale the coast guard documentation center would not allow the transfer because they immediately said " the sellers did not have any court order saying they could go take yacht like they did or sell yacht".
After the sale lawrence pirritino told the buyer to wire his commission $7100.00 to his account. We found out shortly later it was wired into his private corporation account fin and fly marine and spent well before coast guard said illegal.
The buyer they took to auction wanted his money refunded from the broker but found out he spent it. Pirritino told mc carthy he would set up monthly payments to pay back his commission.
After one or two payments pirritino quit paying. Mc carthy after trying to reach him for several months finally got a call from lawrence pirritino and his boss peter schmidt begging to get set back up on the payment plan. This was done after i first exposed these scumbags.
