Group buy?

Article says they(someone) owes $390,000 to Bahamian customs. Seems like a small price to pay for a couple $million in PA, staging, and lights.

I figure the Customs dept would give consideration to anyone who ponies up anything close to the total provided it's gone by the end of the week... ;)

The other $600k was for local labor to pack it all up and ship it back to the USA.  At 10 cents on the dollar it's not a 'presidential' extra special deal but still very good.

The amount of people with  a million dollars to spend recovering seized assets is mighty slim.  You also have the issue that whoever financed it has a valid UCC lien.  As soon as you bring it back in the states the lien is still in effect.

There's always a catch...

I'm no expert in international law, but typically a taxing authority passes clear title when it sells seized property at auction. Here, the lien holders will be sure to be the high bidders at any tax (customs) auction.

One would certainly hope so. Has it come out that the promoters didn't have event insurance?

Looks like the big suck for the production folks that went in to do the event. . .

Read the first page, forgot about multiple pages. Thanks for calling me out, though. Was trying to delete the post but can't figure out how to get that done.

I knew there was an appropriate musical tribute...
