Seven hundred islands fifty miles from Florida, a country of four hundred thousand that has long sold distance from other countries' law. A minister paid by the casino interests for his work on their exemption; a Colombian trafficker's private island and runway in the Exumas; an inquiry that found a prime minister's unexplained money but not its source; a lawyer convicted in Miami of a cocaine conspiracy; a crypto exchange whose property company had no bank account; a senior airport police officer charged in New York; and an envelope bearing a politician's name, pulled from the sea on election day. Covers Carlos Lehder and Norman's Cay, Lynden Pindling and the 1984 Royal Commission, Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX Digital Markets, and Elvis Curtis and the Royal Bahamas Police Force.
