16 is the legal age in Belize.She's gorgeous and probably older than 17, you old geezers are jealous.
Bywarren you know it isn't that kind of drug lab.Its research for an antibiotic substitute, I took some of the early product from the lab.
Its a great idea hope the research pays off.

Is that the only product of the lab or could another substitute pill for ED be what you and McAfee are hoping for?

PS: I just thought of this and you might want to pass it along to McAfee in case he hasn't thought of it. But if he does research on a substitute pill for ED, he could write off the cost of the 17 year old girlfriend as a business expenses. I haven't had experience with 17 year old girlfriends, but my experience with somewhat older girlfriends are they can get very expensive.

I'm not involved, I just tried a free sample of a new product. His ideas for a substitute to antibiotics is good. Antibiotics are going to fail and the time seems right to begin looking for a replacement for when they do and the rainforest of Orangewalk seems a good place to start.
I think the news exaggerated the age of his beautiful young girlfriend, I met her shes witty, funny and seems to be in her twentys. Hes a lucky guy.
As to your experiences with older women I can understand, keeping them in walkers can get pricey!

Oh, come now Elbert. I have met some of BW's lady friends and I assure you "They Aint In Walkers"

OK then, back to the seriousness of the subject. If thru your personal experience he is only doing research on a substitute antibiotic and his firearms were registered, what probable cause would the police have for the raid?
Granted we do not have all the facts, but with your knowledge of the lab and the fact that the firearms were registered and no other illegalities were found, it tends to support McAfee's version and suspicions. And even more reason why there should be a further investigation.

Local (Orangewalk) government is very corrupt, Johns story about not contributing to a politicians campaign or otherwise getting sideways with a politico in Orangewalk and getting raided as a '[#%!] with you' type of action is very believable.
The weapons are a good excuse.

If that is the case, by picking on a high profile person they sure managed to get some bad PR for Belize in the international news. I would hope those of you involved with tourism and the government who depends on tourism will demand accountability.

If I where a billionaire champion of the internet I might have the power to hype the press, social media and bloggers for sympathy and build my defense against the big bad wolf by calling 'foul play' and 'nasty dictators', so very loud until, innocent or guilty, some higher up politicos called off the wolf at my door for fear of damaging relations with the fickled Tourist industry!
just sayin.

Warren, how would they know how many guns were there and whether or not they were properly documented unless they went there and checked? They got a warrant and did that. After the fact you can say they were all registered but not before. When he refused them the first time he sealed his fate. For some reason he did not choose to allow them in to his research facility and that heightened existing suspicions. Seems pretty simple to me and he should have been expecting them to come back, I sure would have but then I dont spread money around to the police either. He got his feelings hurt and his bunged up rep tarnished a bit more. He has no business attacking the country. If they had bad intentions they would have "found" something, bet on that. Still dont understand what he is crying about except he never thought they would do that to HIM after all he has given to the police and he feels humiliated and maybe foolish. Claiming a defense that can not be proven is weak, very weak. His claims that docs in the registry have been tampered with and his name removed is ludicrous, surely he has his registered copy of his Security Company docs as anyone would. If he can prove that one I will be happy to help him fry them but it seems very unlikely. Just my opinion.

"a billionaire champion of the internet"

"He got his feelings hurt and his bunged up rep tarnished a bit more"

Seems like there could be a bit more jealousy, animosity or envy involved rather than a desire to see that all the facts are investigated and reported to insure no matter who a person is they will be treated fairly in Belize.
