This is a small town and like any small town it can have bigger secrets sometimes then bigger towns just because the "control" isn't there.
What??
Bigger secrets in a small Dominican town?
:cheeky:
Do you honestly think that the families who have lived here for 75 years and are pretty much the town fathers don't know what's going on?

Don't forget that this is and alway's be a town which changes a lot during weekends and holiday's since there are many who have a second house here so they are not really inhabitants of this town neither are they mingling in, at least the majority of them is not, so its impossible for anybody who lives here to "know" everybody.
Unless you're among the chronically unobservant.
Many of the folks with cabanas here BOUGHT their land and had their cabanas CONSTRUCTED by the local folks, the town fathers...so they are, in fact known.
Folks here know which businesses in the area are propped up by drug money. Which collapsed because of drug money (like my one time ATF Mexican restaurant, RIP.) Which bancas wash drug money. Which prestamos are funded with drug money. Which investment houses turn away suspected drug money.
Locals know who lives here and who doesn't. Outsiders, as you well know, stick out.
And nobody I've spoken with knows those who got popped or anything about them. Seems the locals think they are outsiders.
I'd like for bob saunders to offer his opinion. His wife is one of those deeply connected to the Jarabacoa grapevine, also.
