St. Maarten Private Eye

Peyton Cromwell's Coral Beach Club "beach villa boxes" are rentals asking $9250 dollars plus taxes for a 5 day minimum stay.Which if you think about it could be a perfect front for laundering a cool $10.000 dollars every 5 days. It's known that most of these new developments(most using a color name) are a consortium of local realtors and their shady business partners who have figured out the perfect scheme to launder money through rentals while keeping their offshore N.V.'s avoiding income and other taxes. Cromwell's track record shows he builds without proper permits or violating the ones he has and interestingly no one in office takes notice. The "Ugly American" Peyton Cromwell and his associates may be this islands leading destroyer of it's natural environment all the while keeping a few commissioners happy, quiet and agreeable.The taxi association better warn their driver's to get another job. This new airport marina and it's future tenders are about to take the majority of the local taxi driver's income away.
