Well, if indeed this Flynt Ray guy is also from Branson, that is nothing to hold against him. Now the part of his resume about being involved with Jeff Pierce and Reef Village might be best left off.

I wonder how much of the 20 million were in bribes?

you should keep wondering...

Flynt's only involvement with Pierce was acquiring the sand hauling business, little
to do with Reef Village... Mr. Knasel is a low key, humble businessman

But many don't have to wonder...

Does that mean Mr. Knasel reminds you of President Trump?

Details On Investor Who Came To Belize

In Friday's press conference, the Prime Minister has followed up with the information he promised to share on the investor who felt into San Pedro in early July. The name is Kevin Knasel - who we gather is a real estate developer from Saint Louis Missouri in the United States. The Prime Minister says he is the developer of the "Salt Lake" project in Ambergris Caye.

He came to Belize on his private jet out of Missouri, which then left with the pilot after Knasel disembarked. The Prime Minister says he brought his negative PCR test and stayed at his penthouse at Milo's apartments - located south of San Pedro Town.

The PM reports, quote,
"Knasel remained on island for 10 or so days then returned to the US on his private plane. There are no reports of his having any Covid problems since returning to the US." End quote.

Mysterious private flight on July 10th brought foreign investor to Ambergris Caye

Prime Minister Barrow broke the news about the private flight from Texas, USA, with potential investors heading to San Pedro on Wednesday, August 5th, during a virtual press conference. He said that at the time of sharing the report, he had not reviewed it with Civil Aviation for accuracy. A check with Civil Aviation indicated that the flight never came, and Barrow later apologized.

Barrow indicated that there was nothing wrong with the private flight, no omissions, and no violations of any rules. He even mentioned that the minister in charge of the Civil Aviation Department, Honourable Manuel Heredia Jr., assisted in getting the aircraft's clearance to bring the investor to Belize. Barrow indicated that the investors brought his PCR negative test and, while on the island, reportedly stayed at his condo and avoided circulating. According to the Prime Minister, the current COVID-19 outbreak on Ambergris Caye cannot be associated with the investor's visit. "He has a $20 million dollar investment," Barrow said. "He also owns two additional premises, a penthouse, and a condo. His itinerary was to check on the new investment." Barrow added that after some ten days or so, he left the country. According to records from the Civil Aviation, the same aircraft that brought him on July 10th returned to Belize on July 21st, this time originating from Naples, Florida, USA.

The fact was that a private flight did come, but Heredia went on record on August 7th, stating otherwise. He made it clear that a private plane did not land in the country with potential investors traveling to the island. "They can check the Department of Civil Aviation, Concession Company, Immigration, and Customs, and they will find out that it was a mistake that the Prime Minister made," said Heredia.
