Screw you any way we can
This is a continual ongoing thing in the DR. Any way to screw people out of money. Here's another prime example. My wife has a debit card and for over a year now every month she has been going to the local bank and pulling out $500 U.S. at a time. Well, the bank has now decided to limit the withdrawal to 9,000 pesos max and charge 250 pesos per withdrawal.
Hopefully she and my son will be out of there in a few months. Until then and for all that live in the DR the best you can do is bend over and say, "Thank you may I have another!"
