Nine years ago, my brother died in Jamaica waiting for a medevac that never came. The man responsible—Duane Boise—lied, stole, and disappeared behind a wall of fake credentials and forged signatures. Today, he’s running a new scam under the name MMJ International Holdings. I won’t stay silent while he keeps preying on families like mine. This is the truth. And this is why I’m still speaking out.
It’s been nine years.
Nine years since my brother Dave died in Jamaica while waiting for an air ambulance that never came.
Nine years since I was lied to, manipulated, and stolen from by a man posing as a doctor—Duane Sanford Boise—who called himself Dr. Garth George.
But Duane Boise wasn’t a doctor. He wasn’t licensed. He wasn’t even legitimate. He was a convicted felon running an unlicensed, unregulated, and fraudulent air ambulance company called EMED Jamaica. And I was desperate to get my brother out of that hospital. Desperate enough to believe him.
I paid Duane $17,000 for the transfer—split between my credit card and my brother Tom’s. That money bought us nothing. No flight. No doctor. No help. Dave died before anyone ever showed up.
And it didn’t stop there.
$13,000 in cash and travelers checks Dave had with him vanished from his luggage—stolen.
Another $12,000 came out of my pocket just to bring my brother’s body home.
Then, another $2,500 was withdrawn from Dave’s own debit card after he was already gone—money that went to Duane.
When I disputed that withdrawal with Bank of America, Duane Boise actually provided them with a fake contract—one that I had never seen before. It included both mine and my brother’s signatures. It was an obvious forgery.
Think about that:
This man let my brother die. Then he forged our signatures to cover his tracks.
And Bank of America accepted it.
So no—I’m not done speaking out. I’m not even close.
After Dave’s death, Duane Boise didn’t face consequences. He didn’t apologize. He didn’t even slow down.
He just changed outfits and launched his next scam under a slick new name: MMJ International Holdings (MMJIH).
Now, he calls himself a pharmaceutical executive. Claims to be developing FDA-approved cannabinoid medications. Files lawsuits against the DEA for show. Pitches himself as a biotech pioneer. It’s the same game—just dressed up in a white coat and a fancy website.
Let me be clear: He is not a doctor. He is not a scientist. He is not a CEO.
He is a predator.
EMED Jamaica and MMJIH are two sides of the same con.
Both are built on deception.
Both prey on desperate people.
Both operate outside the law with no transparency, no accountability, and no ethics.
- EMED Jamaica had no licenses, no certified doctors, no functioning medevac fleet—just smoke and lies.
- MMJIH has no FDA-approved drugs, no credible medical staff, and no legitimate research output—only buzzwords, patent filings, and flashy press releases meant to lure investors.
Everything about Duane Boise screams fraud.
He fabricates identities.
He forges documents.
He siphons money from the vulnerable and grieving.
And he does it with an arrogance that makes my skin crawl.
And the worst part?
He’s still doing it.
That’s why I won’t shut up.
That’s why I keep writing.
That’s why I keep shouting his name into the wind.
Because somebody has to.
I want justice for Dave.
I want justice for myself.
And I want to make damn sure no one else falls for the lies Duane Boise is still telling today.
So no, I’m not over it.
I’m not moving on.
And I will never stop fighting to expose the man who let my brother die, robbed him after death, and forged our names to keep the con going.
Until someone listens.
Until someone stops him.
Until there’s nothing left for him to hide behind.
I will keep speaking out.
Because the truth deserves a voice. And so does my brother.
