The issue isn&#x27;t who rented the boat.  It&#x27;s who paid the captain&#x2F;crew.  That is most likely some holding&#x2F;management company in turn owned by Allen.  Insurance is also at play.  It&#x27;s no different than if a bus driver crashes.  The passengers on the bus aren&#x27;t responsible, nor is the person who hired the bus.  It is the bus owner.<p>If the owner is not held, then the only people left are the employees.  They don&#x27;t earn enough to ever pay fines associated with this sort of accident.  So it&#x27;s either the owners or nobody.
