Also, athough not mentioned in the above article and thus not officialy confirmed: Reliable sources residing in the Bahamas also state that a covert treasure hunting vessel which had removable modular blowers which could be dismantled and hidden in the hold under the engines to avoid being seen by any inspectors and then later reassembled under water for use and which vessel was even painted with slanted white stripes on both sides of the bow to resemble a US Coast Guard cutter to further deceive observers from afar, etc, a million dollar water front house owned by suspect which was said to have been found to be full of years of accumulated treasures and artifacts, astrolabes, etc.. all suspected of being recovered from the south east trail of the Maravillas wreck scatter and even a twin engine airplane kept at West End, were also seized or impounded pending outcome of the investigation.
Seems that with Tinker's removal late last year that yet another personal Bahamas saga has also drawn to a close

Throw one to the politicians and local constabulary and make them look like hero's. Meantime there are many others getting away with it. Pirates number in the thousands or even more. How many watercops does it take to catch them all? There are more important jobs out there for the lawmen. One good ploy would be to have someone on watch who would contact someone twenty miles away when he saw a cop and have a mayday call go out. The cop then has more pressing business than checking out someone suspected of wrongdoing. Of course, that's against the law to so who is wrong? Who does the cop go after? Someone suspected of wrongdoing or someone who may be in danger of drowning?
