Uhhh, he has a half a million dollars of unaccounted for foreign currency in Dominica. There was obviously some sort of investigation to warrant a 5am arrest. Good job on the task force. keeping our country safe!
I hope this money is well secured before it vanishes in space.
Don’t worry, it probably will disappear anyway. This is the land of thieves.

If it’s illegal to have that amount of money in cash on one’s person then what is the legal limit of cash you can walk with??!
If a farmer or fisherman has been making $10,000 a month for 15 years and for 10 of those years he saved half of that money in a bag he would have half a million dollars! And yes, some farmers and fishermen do make over $10,000 EC dollars a month but they just do not flaunt it like some impressionist people that work in an office living paycheck to paycheck. Some people no longer trust these banks that charging u every month to ‘hold your money . The banks are not your friend, they will make money from you one way or the other. They always finding some fee to take your money. Neither is anybody obligated to place their cash in any other financial institution.
If the money was illegally acquired well so be it. But money laundering can also cover all those landlords in picard and other places that don’t pay their taxes.
Biggest money launderers are…
I agree that possession of cash is not a crime. But there’s clearly more to the story here.

No, it will be inadvertently swept as trash and thrown away. That’s the trend that was set.
What happens to the money then? Is it invested back into the state?
This sounds like a set up, get rid of your competitors or someone got jealous maybe. Not condoning crime just an observation.
