St. Maarten Private Eye

Indigo Bay:

The project could be canceled completely:
Rumor has it that the 'Southern Italians' are eying it to build again a casino
that is what the island needs:
With a population of 80 000, in the wake of a fall in tourist arrivals, another casino added to the already 20 on the island.

Caravanserai:

The Indians (Native Americans) from the reservations are looking to buy the whole thing from their sketchy Asian Indian counter part, the great benefactor Mr. Manek. (I call him my own Dalai Lama) May the Gods bless him, for his kindness, fairness, impeccable integrity and charity efforts, his motto is " take once and give back twice!!"

OR was it:

"Take, and take and take and screw them all....."

Mr. Manek is tumbling, as the money from his devious timeshare schemes are not helping,
expect some major chains to make a move there --> Shopping / Franchised cappuccino bars / Franchised night clubs etc

They'll buy him out and he can return to his cameos in Lord of the Rings
