They know the name, they chose not to reveal it, likely because the evidence isnt as strong against them or theyd be getting tried too.... unless the opportunity to use the leverage is too great to pass up. This is why broke people, unethical people, dishonest people who are happy to accept rolex watches, plane rides, preferred seating at premier events, people with large debt, and people with drug or gambling addictions should never dawn the HOA. Too easily manipulated
That last part is a great point. The alternative is noone would accept if their chances of beating the charges looked great. But It is in the realm of possibilities that an innocent person could reason that theyd stand less chances of harm negotiating.
In this case?? They gat Curtis on video (and not the deep fake kind) negotiating use of govt planes for cocaine trafficking
"*A plea deal I believe means you are guilty as hell*"
That would be correct! The evidence must be so overwhelming there is no way you will argue "innocence" or "entrapment" with a snowball's chance in said place of succeeding
"*Putting stuff out there*" makes a whole bunch of sense, especially if its laid out in an indictment backed by heavy evidence. In fact "*putting stuff out there*" is a requirement to bring a case in court.
Not naming persons referred to in the evidence is also a standard practice, in PDiddys case for example, there's a witness testifying who is being shielded by the court for some reason that the court deems reasonable
They have the right to set their immigration policy, we should be doing the same (for different reasons) as we face a much greater threat.
The students may lose a year. They will likely need counseling to reinforce that a year is not a lifetime, it's not the end of the world, it's just a delay. Other countries may step in to offer alternatives. It's a life lesson, even though unwanted, about life and making positive advances even in the face of the unexpected
"*vulnerable The Bahamas is to having its good name used*"
I get the point but for a "*good name*" we sure feature prominently in one gigantic ripoff after another... leads one to wonder who's minding the shop and how a foreign (white?) man could get so far with no legitimate claim. Seems like this guy should have had residency, citizenship and all travel privileges revoked from when he first showed up on the Santa Maria.
"*complaints have accumulated for **over a year**,*"
My my my. I can only assume, it hit the press so an effort had to be made to make it appear like were taking it seriously.
Because we cant upset the tourism goose chicklets. Ever.
Remember during COVID when they up and down tried to convince the public that COVID spread had absolutely nothing to do with tourists entering the country/travel... as our people were dying.
