"We don't have a defini- tive motive for" the alleged theft of Estrella's yacht, said department spokeswoman Anna Alexopoulos. "We're still trying to connect the dots." The New Jersey -based company that insured Es- trella's boat maintains it has dotnected many of those s. In a counterclaim to Estrella's suit Federal Insur- ance paints a picture of a profit -making plot According to the compa- ny's investigation, Estrella's yacht was abandoned par- tially submerged over the deepest trenches off the Ba- hamas, with its hatches and ports wired open to let in water and its flotation tubes slashed or deflated.Itshoses also were cut and an access plate was opened to the Federal Insurance's law- yers maintain the sinking of the boat, which was sal- vaged and returned to Mi- ami, was an accident. They said Estrella had lost interest in Star One and that his yacht was not in tip-top shape, as he struggled to sell it for almost $2.7 million in 2009. (State insurance fraud detectives said in Figuere- do's criminal complaint that the boat needed more than 70 repairs and had an esti- matedmarket value of about $1.9 million.) "It is believed that Roberto Figueredo, a close family friend of Nicolas Es- trella, was directly involved with the scuttling and was acting at the instruction of or with the approval of Ni- colas Estrella," the lawyers argued in Federal's c ounterclai n.They asserted that Estrel- la's motivation was the re- sult of alleged personal fi- nancial problems during the recession, pointing out that in May 2009 a financial arm of his insurance business owed more than $16 million on a Wachovia line of credit. Estrella had personally guaranteed $2 million of the credit line, which was for a total of$20 million. Ina lawsuit with Wacho- via, Estrella"admitted to be- ing illiquid at the time of the loss" of his yacht, Federal's lawyers asserted. His attor- ney, Burlington, said the company's financial divi- sion has paid back most of the debt to the bank, which is now part of Wells Fargo. In 2006, Estrella Insur- ance known for its green - and -white star symbol and with45agendes offering au- to, life and other insurance services, reported collect- ing mor a th an $137million in Without providing direct proofin court filings, Feder- al's lawyers place Estrella in the middle of an alleged scheme to dupe the insur- ance company. "Estrella had ample motive, opportunity and knowledge of the pecu- liarities of the Star One to acuttle her," the lawyers sserted. Estrella's lawyer, Burling- ton, in his client's lawsuit, accused Federal Insurance and its attorneys of treating Estrella as a "suspect"rather than a "victim" "Federal Insurance Com- pany's goal in subjecting [Estrella] to its labyrinthine maze andimpos- sible requirements is utterly transparent: unable to come up with a def hole reason to deny [Estrella's] $3 mil- lion daim ... Federal Insur- ance Company perpetuates its 'open investigation' in- definitely," Burlington said in court papers He also saidthe insurance firm maligned his clent when it offered a $50,000 re- ward in the Bahamas for in- formation about the theft and sinking of Estrella's boat, by "unfairly and falsely associating [his] name with the crime itself."
