Wrong BP about the Bimini stuff. It is worser than all that. All pleaded guilty to stealin and receiiving a boat from a marina in Bimini owned by a visiting tourist which cost over 200 thousand. two fellas got $1000 fines and the fella who the police caught ON THE BOAT and who had pleaed guilty got a $600 fine. He just got out of a miami jail FOR SMUGGLING. and the one who stole the boat from the marina is a well known boat tief on Bimini. one got no fine but was given some kind of community service.
See I know it was worst than I reported. That’s why the FNM media never made it public.
