I don't think there's enough freon in an AC unit to fill spaces that large. Maybe?
Also, the guests would probably complain about the A/C not cooling before all of the freon had escaped.

How can they not track money through the web shops? Sounds like there is no due diligence being done. Are web shops just a huge money laundering scheme with gaming as a side gig?

Just another big issue that no government cares to deal with. So again the laws are ignored by those in charge.
In our Bahamas all you have to do to get away with anything is to say you're poor. Sickening!

Can we please put this new pot of gold into a separate account so that we can see how it's spent/taken. I would say 10% every year should go towards creating our own monitoring station and the rest going directly to paying down our US$ debt. nothing else!!!!
Treat it as a new business with separate accounting and reporting requirements.

Garnish wages. LOL. They can only do that for government workers and even that would be highly controversial and the party would lose the next election. Not going to happen.
As for ducking customs duty.... please let me know how that's possible because when I bring in a container I have to pay in full before it leaves the dock. Am I the only fool being asked to, and paying, beforehand?

These first timers are all under the age of 16? I ask because every adult hears the same story every year about those parliamentarians who have not filed in accordance with the law. These first timers must have been transported from another dimension. Then and only then could that excuse be used. These first timers have obviously spent time around politics and its machinery because they couldn't have made it this far without it.
So based on the above... I call LIAR on every politician that used this excuse. YOU are disgusting and entitled SOB's who should be fined and jailed for not following the law. YOU are scum and NOT worthy of holding a seat in government. YOU are criminals at heart and your returns should be investigated by a public committee.

The idea is great. But, as stated above, if crooks get their talons in this then the results will be the same. Any elections for local government need to be transparent and without the ability to campaign - as campaign financing attracts the sharks.

Yay! More gov't workers who don't contribute to a pension plan and who spend their days at the fish fry with their sweethearts, and who will get gratuity when the next administration lays them off.

Shoot on sight?

Absolute waste of resources.
