No talk of closing, not that I heard of. Certainly not on short term. I have no idea on long term. Can change quickly of course and I also will be sad if they close. Gone with the good bread and their lovely desserts.

Anything new?
Is he still in the tropical version of a GULAG? Or has he "given" all his money and property to some policechief, and then left the country with two empty hands and a smoking painful arsehole?

Whatever happens we must remember that they put a lot of work into starting the bakery which is tops and they also employ quite a lot of local people. We will all be losers if they have unfortunately been implicated or are involved in drugs. No one is above the law and the last thing you ever want to get into is drugs, my only drug is life and a beer from time to time. Anyone thinking that they are above the law are very much mistaken and as far as I am concerned with this is, you are innocent until proven guilty.
For what its worth, and one cannot completely trust the media of course, i read the man was hiding in the closet when the police came. Does that sound like someone who is innocent?

Certainly not in the Dominican Republic.
A good percentage of her population lives without any law, lawlessly so to speak.
But in the case of a 'gringo' all laws are remembered and applied.... usually not to the welfare of the foreigner.

Well- you know what they are saying: Everyone has a skeleton in their closet...
(Ding) So THAT is why I love those pastries so much! And I thought that was confectioners sugar they were using. Duh.
Innocent in a closet
Why not?
It is not so easy for everybody to come out of the closet....

I could swear these reporters and editors are from different planets and possibly editing in DR means cutting up stories, rather than newpapers. Most of the news we read is really messy and I can only put it down to chinese whisper second hand style reporting and a drunken editor who works at random with a highlighter and blindfold.
I put the story down to the security box was in the closet where they found everything. Would make more sense.
I agree, its difficult to discern what the articles are saying. Its impossible to know how much of the story is true. Sometimes these stories bring out posters that have personal knowledge. In most cases, we are only left to speculate...
Last I heard, yesterday, was that he is still in jail, the bakery is still producing its line of products and nobody knows anything,
The baked goods that I have received recently are still First World excellent. If there was a way to fly there every day, I think I would...but after three months or so I would weigh more than the aircraft!! Talk about heavier than air.!!!!
LOL...
