Sorry to hear it isn't going as well as it could go. We're all pulling for you, though. Try your best to keep in good spirits. Be nice and play their game as long as you can.

This is funny to you?

Do you know that the man is stuck in a foreign country without his passport, accused of a crime?

No Sir, NOT funny at all. It was intended to lighten his mood and in response to his comment re: his attorney, "They call him the 'Johnny Cochrane' of Turks and Caicos."

I had hoped it was also in keeping with your advise in an earlier post when you indicated, "we could do him some good by just posting. Anything- funny stories or stories about when you got into a legal bind (with a focus on positive outcomes), words of support, anything at all."

I have been following this thread, and I'm obviously hoping for the best outcome here!


Thanks, that's how I took it. Para is concerned for me and looking out for one of his flock. I appreciate all of your posts.

Man, that kinda sucks. But, hopefully, soon you'll get to pay a fine and get the hell out of there. And, never to return, as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah… probably just trying to max the revenue.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

I too wished the charges would have been dropped. All need to remember to be careful what you post. I could be read by anyone. Be best to just let it play out with out shakedown comments or similar. None of that will help him.

Old rugged cross has a good point.
Hopefully a fine will get you home, they really gain nothing by anything more.

Does Amazon deliver down there? I’d be in for a book of his choice.

Send a Kindle version, when you buy a kindle book there is an option to send it to someone else, don't buy it, down load and try to share, the rules have changed on sharing and you don't want to deal with it.

Just did that with my Dad, sent him the Kindle book and he's reading it within a few minutes of getting the email from Amazon Kindle.

Ezpeasy, plus Kindle versions are priced better.

Exceptional Circumstances

We were able to petition the court to expedite the trial. We have a court date on May 2nd. Basically just going in to hear the charges and make a plea. The plan is to plead guilty and ask for exceptional circumstances. The lawyers submit summaries on May 3rd and we come back on May 10th for the judges determination. If she decides to grant EC then I will most likely be fined and allowed to leave. I am guardedly optimistic due to previous case law that this will happen. If it does I will be on the first available flight home.

Hopefully for the last time. If I were in your position, I would never return and choose a new annual destination.

We do not use gofundme and I really wish members would stop mentioning them at all.

The term is crowdfunding and it drives me absolutely nuts that a group which has demonstrated that they are amoral reptiles who care nothing about this nation, its people or its Constitution, has become synonymous with crowdfunding.
