Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Biddle operated Professional Boat Sales, located in the township, alongside his partner in business and sport, Tracy Blumenstein, who also faces theft-related charges. 
  
 The search for Biddle, a 44-year-old Egg Harbor Township resident and two-time national powerboat champion, began the night of July 20, after his boat hit a buoy and crashed into a jetty in Longport. Biddle was said to be returning from a dinner at a waterfront restaurant in Somers Point. A survivor, Justin Belz, 23, of Marmora, who swam to shore, was interviewed by authorities. 
  
 The night after the crash, following an 18-hour search that covered more than 60 miles, the Coast Guard called off the effort. 
  
 A number of criminal complaints this year against Biddle and Blumenstein, provided by the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office, allege they conned customers. 
  
 In May 2013, according to one record, they sold a boat and trailer for $17,000, plus taxes and fees, through the company and never provided the owner of the property with compensation. Another filing states that in 2012, Biddle sold a motor as new even though it had been used for more than 150 hours. 
  
 The pair are also accused of failing to provide a pontoon boat to a man who paid a $20,000 deposit for it in March 2013. 
  
 Blumenstein was arrested in February at the Atlantic City Boat Show, following a months-long investigation, in the alleged "fraudulent sale of a boat," and charged with issuing bad checks totaling $33,000, police announced at the time. 
  
 Calls to the business went unanswered Friday. 
  
 The characterizations of the duo are a steep departure from the ones in the boating community, where they were revered as Team Livorsi and Team Pro Boat. 
  
 In 2012, the pair won the P1 Superstock USA championship series, a powerboat competition. The following year, they won again and also proved victorious in a United Kingdom championship. 
  
 On Facebook, a page dedicated to Biddle's safe return had garnered more than 800 "likes." A moderator urged the public not to jump to conclusions. 
  
 Detectives, however, are "obligated to investigate and prosecute Mr. Biddle for the aforementioned criminal acts," the police statement read, "until Mr. Biddle's whereabouts are officially determined."

One swam to shore safely; the other, 44-year-Andrew Biddle, has not been found and was reported missing. But local police now believe that Biddle faked the accident in an attempt to escape prosecution on a series of complaints that he scammed boat buyers.

 On Friday, the Press of Atlantic City reported on a flyer distributed by Egg Harbor Township police. It alleges that the accident was staged by Biddle, who is believed to be "alive and well and on the run." 
  
 The flyer, circulated to law enforcement agencies, calls Biddle a "current U.S. and European offshore boat racing champion and has contacts throughout the country and abroad and could be anywhere." 
  
 So who is Biddle? Along with business parter Tracy Blumenstein, he is one half of team Livorsi Marine and Team Pro Boat, which captured the 2012 and 2013 U.S. championships in P1 SuperStock, a small offshore powerboat racing series. They also hold a world speed record certified by UIM, the international governing body for powerboating.

 Biddle and Blumenstein also own Professional Boat Sales in Egg Harbor, and it's there that they've run into some serious legal trouble. The Philadelphia Inquirer sums up some of the things that Biddle would theoretically be on the run from:

 Egg Harbor detective Ray Theriault, who signed the seven complaints totaling nine charges against Biddle, is the one who circulated the flyer alleging that he faked his death. Theriault said he was "proceeding with the investigation as we would if [Biddle] hadn't been reported missing." 
  
 Biddle's boat allegedly crashed around 11:30 p.m. on July 20, according to the man who swam ashore, later identified as 23-year-old Justin Belz, another P1 SuperStock racer. Belz told police Biddle (pictured left) had been driving and struck rocks near the inlet to Great Egg Harbor, just a few miles down the shore from Atlantic City.

 The coast guard conducted an 18-hour search that covered more than 60 miles and included helicopters and the help of private boaters, but no trace of Biddle was found. 
  
 "We have no proof Biddle is dead at this point," Theriault said when asked by the Press about the flyer.

 The flyer was never meant to be made public, so Egg Harbor police are keeping mum on the department's official position on Biddle. But they did put out a brief statement confirming that Biddle staging the boating accident "to avoid prosecution" was "a scenario [that] must be considered." ||||| Written by Laura Stetser 
  
 EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP – The Egg Harbor Township Police Department issued the following statement regarding a news report Friday, Aug. 1 that an Egg Harbor Township resident Andrew Biddle, 44, allegedly staged a recent boating accident to avoid prosecution in a pending fraud investigation: 
  
 “The Egg Harbor Township Police Department is currently investigating Mr. Andrew C. Biddle of Professional Boat Sales, 125 Margate Boulevard, Egg Harbor Township for numerous criminal acts of theft and fraud. Mr. Biddle was recently reported missing in connection with a boating accident,” the release stated. 
  
 “Earlier in the day, local Atlantic City media obtained correspondence that was intended for law enforcement purposes only. The correspondence suggested that Egg Harbor Township Police Detectives believe that Mr. Biddle ‘staged an incident,’ to avoid prosecution. This scenario must be considered, and the Egg Harbor Township Police Department’s Detective Bureau is obligated to investigate and prosecute Mr. Biddle for the aforementioned criminal acts until Mr. Biddle’s whereabouts are officially determined.” 
  
 New Jersey State Police were called into to search for a Biddle, who fell overboard after a boating accident near the jetty in Longport Sunday, July 20. Officials said the State Police are still in charge of the accident investigation. The Egg Harbor Township Police Department is only investigating previous fraud allegations against him. 
  
 According to police, the accident occurred when a pontoon boat crashed into a channel marker; one person was ejected. The U.S. Coast Guard called off its search before the State Police were called in. 
  
 Sgt. Brian Polite of the New Jersey State Police said marine crews continued their search for Biddle, an experienced power boat racer. 
  
 Police declined to identify the other person in the boat, who was able to swim to safety. 
  
 “We won’t release any information because the investigation is ongoing,” Polite said July 22. 
  
 Lt. K. Moore, commander of the U.S. Coast Guard Station Atlantic City, said the accident was called in to the Longport Police Department at 11:30 p.m. Sunday, July 20. The Coast Guard’s search ended 6 p.m. on Monday, July 21. 
  
 “We conducted a nearly 20-hour search, but after exhausting all resources, the chances for survival based on water temperature and time in the water is slim,” Moore said. 
  
 According to Jay McKeen of the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office, the agency has no information on Biddle’s status as of Friday, Aug. 1 
  
 Egg Harbor Township Police Chief Michael Morris told The Current that police simply “are obligated to continue the investigation until there is a death declaration.” 
  
 According to the American Power Boat Association, Biddle is ranked first in the SuperStock Class P-1 offshore racing category, having won three competitions in Florida since November 2013.

A champion boat racer went missing after a boat crash last month, but police don't think he's dead. No, according to a flyer officers distributed, which was picked up by the Press of Atlantic City, Andrew Biddle is likely "alive and well and on the run." The 44-year-old is apparently in all kinds of trouble that might make him flee, Deadspin reports. He co-owns a company called Professional Boat Sales, and was arrested in February over the "fraudulent sale of a boat," the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. He's also been accused of selling a used motor as new and writing tens of thousands of dollars' worth of bad checks. When Biddle's boat crashed off New Jersey last month, the man who'd accompanied him managed to swim to shore. "We conducted a nearly 20-hour search, but after exhausting all resources, the chances for survival based on water temperature and time in the water is slim," a Coast Guard official told the Current. Biddle's attorney told reporters that their questions were "the first I've heard" of the story, the Press reports. Earlier this year, a banker faked his own death, and apparently managed to convince even his family.
