Site Rating: 3 out of 10 stars

Family Warning: contains violence and bad language

A ponzi schemer named Charlie Wright flees to Mexico (why didn't Madoff think of that) with billions of dollars in clients' money (Madoff didn't think of that either) to hide from the law in America, regarding his dirty financial dealings. He goes on a wild goose chase in Tijuana along the way, with the authorities following him seeking to make an arrest.

Wright is an obsessive man, who looks like an alcoholic (hey, who better to manage your money than a drunk, after all, what could go wrong). While the cast of this film was strong, this movie was too dark and sad to be enjoyable, with a resolution that doesn't exactly scream justice. I am not a fan of such films.

Dudus Extradited To America

Alleged Jamaican drug suspect, Christopher Michael Coke, also known as Dudus, was extradited to America yesterday. He was apprehended by the Jamaican government at a security check point, on his way to turning himself in at the U.S. Embassy, driven by Reverend Al Miller.

The Jamaican military and police removed him from the car and placed him under arrest. Dudus waived his right to extradition and was then turned over to the U.S. government, who were waiting with a helicopter to transport him to New York in the United States of America .

Dudus initially wished to fight the extradition and became a fugitive. However, yesterday he waived his right to extradition, which could have allowed him to stay in Jamaica and exhaust the appeals process for 2-3 years, delaying his removal from the island.

After waiving his right to extradition, he formally apologized to the Jamaican people for all the turmoil and bloodshed his extradition caused. The U.S. Department of Justice also owes the Jamaican people an apology for how the matter was handled, the DOJ sponsored defamation of the island and for brushing off warnings there could be many casualties, with 76 people later dying. However, they simply did not care, as it was a failed attempt to overthrow the Jamaican government and destabilize the economy.
