I believe the arrested conman was South African, not English. Brits would NEVER do anything bad like that! ;)

I didn't want to check 'like' or 'dislike' I wanted somewhere to check 'Ha-Ha-Ha'.
Moderator: could there be such a thing?

Con artist for sure. They were in Sosua when she was expecting the second child. Left owing rent and money to an old lady in a colmado.
He has duel nationality!

Interesting development. The woman has just been to our boat looking for a place to stay overnight with her 2 kids. Her story so far: He is in jail although fines are all paid and was supposed to get out today. He is South African, incidentally. Needless to say it was a long garbled story of hardship starting with "I'm not asking for money" ... so we didn't give any (not that we have any spare!) and reminded her of the previously given dosh.
We couldn't put her or her kids up because under maritime law, we would have to enroll her via Guarda Marine onto our boat - and then we would become responsible for her repatriation, plus it costs RD$1500 per head to enroll. So she's wandered off into the night with her two kids... it's them I feel deeply sorry for.
For whatever reason she's VERY reluctant to head back to Samana for a cheapo hotel for the night - don't know if she thinks she'll get a bed here in the hotel.
Just letting folks know.

Just spoke to the person on the desk in the hotel, apparently she was escorted to the main gate and taken back to Samana anyway.

How could anyone balls it all up so badly with kids it tow.....?

parents can be fcukups too. i wonder if they have any family who can step in? or maybe the family is tired of pulling those drifters out of trouble time after time?

I was actually thinking the same thing but thought I was being too paranoid.

You are not paranoid if they really are after you.

And yes there is that subtle resemblance.

(As for the resemblance to the other formerly not really missing person, I did not know them.)
