Did Paul Watson sink his own boat?

[RickN]

I knew he was a media ho but if this it is true he should face jail time.

According to TMZ, a new lawsuit claims Paul Watson, star of the Animal Planet series, lied about the fate of his ship, telling media that it sank after a run in with Japanese whalers. The ship’s owner Ady Gil alleges Watson actually ordered for the ship to be sunk in order to create publicity.

It wasn't repairable. The nose got knocked off and it became an anchor while they attempted to tow it back.

I like that he stands up to the Japanese whalers... I find it wrong that each countrysets it's own quota for "research" and such... Someone needs to enforce the ban. That being said, Watson is a level 99 doucher.

My favorite is the soft armor stopping the high caliber lead round, at best, 40 meters

At sea, a captain has lots of rights. If he determines that a vessel under his control is not seaworthy and a hazard to navigation, he can scuttle it. Unless there is strong evidence that he did so fraudulently, it would be very hard to win a judgement against him. But then, who knows what he told his crew and confidants? Their testamony might hurt him.
