Welcome to Belize.............. F@&k You in the Neck !!!

Here is Part of My Experiences & Dealings With

Mr. & Mrs. Michelle "Shelly" Jemison 

After discovering Mr. Boone was wanted for Fleeing Prosecution I was extremely worried about My Boat and after 9 days of calling Mr Alfaro, whom kept saying the import permit was not processed yet, I called the Customs office to inquire as to why My Import Permit had not been approved, to which they stated that they did not know, but after 10 days I would start accruing storage fees.

I then demanded that Mr Boone, give me Mr Alfaros number so I could personally call him, and after a brief argument he did and when I called him and asked about the Import Permit, Mr Alfaro said he would hopefully have it on Monday and if I had to pay storage fees, that was the cost of doing Business in Belize.

I then figured that everything was a fraud and told him that was unacceptable, and began to calling and trying to Source another broker.In such I found Mr. Ernesto Perera and explained the situation to him. He said he could have my boat cleared within 2-3 days, but being it was Friday afternoon, I would have to wait until Monday.

I was furious with Mr. Boone and informed him that I had hired another broker and I needed my $4,500US to pay Mr Perera, to which Mr Boone stated that he had put my money in his bank account and that he would give me 2 signed, blank checks, 1 for Customs and 1 for Mr Perera.

On Monday June 23, 2007 Mr. Boone and I flew to Belize City and while I met with Mr Perera he went to RFG Insurance to supposedly transfer the liability insurance to My Boat.

While at Mr Pereras office, Mr. Perera informed Me that Mr Alfaro made Fraudulently Conflicting Declarations when He applied for the Import Permit and that the Customs Inspector was on his way over to elaborate. When the Customs Inspector arrived he said that because Mr Alfaro Falsified the Customs Declaration, My Boat was being Subjected to Seizure.

Mr Perera explained my situation and thankfully cleared up the mess that Mr Alfaro created and said to return on Tuesday to pick up my boat, but that he would not accept a check for his services only cash. ($700BZ for his fees plus $7,441BZ for import duties)

So Mr Perera drove me to Atlantic Bank in Belize City, where I was told there was insufficient funds for the amount of $8,141 BZ, so I cashed a check for $700BZ for Mr Pereras fees, and gave him $3,500US + $500BZ that I had in personal cash to cover the duties.

Once I returned to San Pedro I explained to Mr Boone that there was insufficient funds to cover the check, to which he stated that he had sold his business assets to a Man named Once I returned to San Pedro I explained to Mr Boone that there was insufficient funds to cover the check, to which he stated that he had sold his business assets to a Man named Micheal Jemison Jemison, 14781 Memorial Drive #2854. Houston, TX 77079 and because he was transfering $200,000+BZ that the bank was confused and I would have to wait a few days for him to repay me, my own money.......It Didnt Quite work that Way.......

So now, the Man that I had just moved to Another Country and Partnered with 80-20% just sold his part of the Business and now I have a new partner that I have to split everything 50-50% who has Never Flow a Parasail ????????

Mr. Boone also stated that because the bank was confused that he borrowed $5,051BZ to pay for incorporation fees, trade license, dock lease etc and told me to just make one of the checks out for that amount and cash it in a few days ????????.......It Didnt Quite Work Out That Way........

I was shocked that he had sold his Business without letting me know and all of My Suspicions of his Actions and Motives were now Blatantly Obvious, so I demanded that he repay me not only the $5,051BZ that he took without asking, but also the $4,500US I alloted for the import duties, to which he stated that he was Sorry and once the bank got things straight he would do such.......It Didnt Quite Work Out That Way........

Mr. Boone also stated that because on June 12, 2007 (the day Mr Jemison bought the Assets) the Engine in the Boat he sold Mr Jemison blew up, that I could work with in San Pedro until it was repaired and earn 50% of the Gross Earnings and while working with Mr Jemison and because I was the Experienced Partner, San pedro would be My Location.... I was feeling very Violated but decided to make the best Out of A Bad Situation. .... and here I am, still....

Subsequently after Metting Mr Jemison for the 1st time on or about June 20, 2008, I discovered that Mr Boone had sold him the Business on the False Pretenses that he had been Operating in San Pedro for 2 years, that Scott Kipp, (the Operator that killed Amber) was a 50% shareholder in his company, Ambergris Caye Watersports, Ltd) and that, he possesed no Parasailing License, Contracts etc, along with numerous other lies.

I explianed the above to Mr Jemison and provided him with all the available Knowledge and Documentation that I Possessed.

On or about July 01, 2008 and After a few days of of Intense Worry of My Future and My Investement and Watching Mr Boone Flagrantly decieve not only Myself but Mr Jemison, I finally had enough, was disgusted with all of Mr Boones lies and deceit, packed My Belongings and moved into the Palapa on Fidos dock.

Due to the Fact that, we were both defrauded by Mr Boone, Parasailing is of A High Risk Nature, I had 20 years of Watersports / Parasailing Experince, Credentials and Hquipment, and He Had None, He and I entered into a 50/50 Partnership Agreement.......It Didnt Quite Work Out That Way........

I explained to Mr Jemison that I was waiting on Mr hudson to get My Work Permit and I needed to contact him, but he was assigned to work on the Mainland and I did not know how to reach him.

On July 06, 2007 I went to the Immigration Office to extend Check on My Work Permit, and noticed a sign in the window with Mr Hudsons phone number on it, so I called him and inquired as to the Status of My Work Permit. Mr hudson stated that my work permit had been approved, that I was cleared to work and he would be returning to San Pedro in a few weeks to finalize things. ......It Didnt Quite Work Out That Way........

On July 16, 2007 while living in the palapa I had been bitten by insects and had hundreds of welps all over my body, so I rented a room at Thomas Motel for 2 nights so I could take a shower and not have the soars infected.

On July 18, 2007 I took every dollar I had and rented an apartment from Mrs Yvonne Bond, whom turns out co-owned the only parasail business ever legally allowed to operate in Belize, with her ex-husband Mr Tony Buono

On or about July 27, 2007 (the Day Mr Jemisons Boat was Repaired) I had to turn away customers because I did not have the Proper Equipment (Big Chute) to Safely Fly People With No Wind .

When I returned to the dock I explained the above to Mr Jemison, who snarred at me, then went to his boat with an inexperienced mate (Alex) and began attempting to set up the parachute, then after 30-40 minutes, they went and attempted to fly a heavy barrel of water in a small Chute with no wind.....Doesnt Work Out That Way.......

While I and everyone else was watching him drag the Chute and barrel through the water and bashing the barrel into the back of the boat and everyone was laughing, Mrs Jemison began yelling at Me, (Thats it, I ve had enough of you, now Im pissed) So because of Mr and Mrs Jemisons immature and ignorant actions, combined with her statements, I left and went home in order to avoid a conflict.

I then sent Mr Jemison an email explaining my position, to which the following day He replied stating that, I knew San Pedro was his location and I had to move my boat immediately from Fidos dock.

So I acquired another location at Exotic Caye/Crazy Canucks Beach Bar and began negotiations in forming a partnership with Mr Buono, whom it turns out was the Only Person with the Necessary Experience & Credentials to Lawfully Operate a Parasail Boat on the Island.

On or about July 31, 2007. I went to meet Mr hudson to get My Work Permit who explained that even though I was 50% shareholder in Agua Fun, Mr Boone had pulled his sponsorship from my Work Permit, and that I had to start the process all over, including Paying Him His Fees.
 
 
Frustrated, Confused, Broke & Scared, I went into Reclusion for a week or so until like an Angel, Mrs. Bond had came to my rescue and kicked Me in the Butt

She told Me to Get Up, Stand Tall and Set a Meeting with Manuel Heredia and Elsa Paz, (the Minister of Tourism and Mayor of San Pedro Town) in which I was instructed to Put Everything Out On The Table, Who I Was, My Parasailing Experience & History, The Frauds and Threats Perpetrated Against Me, and My Experiences in Belize and in such, I set a Meeting for August 08 2008.

During the meeting with the Minister and the Mayor, I Spilled My Guts and Put It All Out On The Table as I was told do, and Low and Behold they both Graciously Welcomed Me and My Investment to the Island, Sincerely Appologized for the Hardships that I was Forced to endure as an Investor in Their Country and Promised to Expedite and Get to the Bottom of the Matter. ......It Didnt Quite Work Out That Way
During the Meeting I had Deeply Expressed My Concerns and Inquired into several things, Including, Work Permit, Tour Operators Licensing, Aviation Flight Paths, Allowable Weather Conditions and Operational Boundaries.

The Minister Informed Me that I was not required to obtain a Tour Operators Licence, because Parasailing does not fall under the definition of a Tour, but is an Amusement Activity. He then also roughly told me of the Aviation Flight Paths and Operational Boundaries. (Anywhere South of Ramones Village Resort)

The Minister then Instructed me to fill out another Work Permit Application and to put it along with a Trade License Application, 3 Passport Photos, a Photocopy of My Passport & $20 Stamp Fee in an evelope, drop it off Monday Morning (August 08 2008) and He would Personally Walk My Paperwork through within a week.......It Didnt Quite Work Out That Way........

So on Monday August 11, 2008 I did as Instructed by the Minister, but when I went to drop it off, the guy who works in the Town Council (Martin I think) opened the envelope and said that the Paperwork that I was submitting had nothing to do with the Minister and Refused it.

So I explained to him that I was following the Minister and Mayors Instructions pursuant to our Meeting on Friday and to please make sure that it gets to His desk.
He said Okay and I left, assuming that I would have a Work Permit and be Legal to Parasail by the Weekend and all is Perfect in Paradise, Well ......It Didnt Quite Work Out That Way........

On August 13, 2007 I was riding my bike on Coconut Drive near S.P. Hardware and seen Mr Boone, who was driving a red Polaris Ranger and told him that if he didnt pay me the money that he stole $ 5, 051BZ + $ 4, 500US that I would press charges on him and notify the Leesfield and Leighton of his whereabouts.

Mr Boone then struck me in the left eye with a beer bottle, which knocked me to the ground. *see pics on phone*

While on the ground Mr. Boone repetetively kicked me and said if I did not leave the island that me and my boat would end up on the bottom of the ocean and he would make bad things happen to my wife in Florida.
As a Result I was left with lacerations to my left eye and head, bruised if not fractured ribs, and severe residual pain in my neck and shoulders. *see pics on phone*

On August 14, 2007 I went to San Pedro Police department and filed a complaint in an attempt to have Him held Accountable for his Actions and Transgressions Against Me...It Didnt Quite Work Out That Way........

When I returned home Kevin Adolphus and Chase Jemison (Mike Jemisons Employee & Son) knocked on my door because I called Mrs Jemison a few days before and informed her that when I left Fidos dock there was a mistake and I had one of their Chutes and they had one of mine.

I told Mr Adolphus and Chase I would take my boat and meet them on Fidos dock and also pick up 2 Spare Outdrives, 1 set / 2 Propellers and Bench Grinder that I had left in the palapa, We exchanged Chutes and I got the Drives, but the Propellors and Grinder were missing.

While pulling away from the dock Chase called Mr Jemison and he told Chase that those were Mr. Boones outdrives

I immediately went home and forwarded Mr. Jemison the email that showed where I had paid for them, once again because Mr Boone abruptly left them along with all his other belongings while fleeing after the fatal accident in August 2007

I also left Mr Jemison a voicemail asking where My Propellors and Bench Grinder, to which I never recieved a reply

Later that evening I saw Mr Jemison driving his cart on Coconut Drive near Medinas Store and flagged him down to clear up the issue, when Mr Jemison stated that this island wasnt big enough for the both of us, He would Walk all Over Me and that if I did not leave the island immediately he was going to pay off Mr Hudson and have me deported .

On August 15, 2007 I recieved a call from Mr Boone, who said (nice try, do you know who I am around here? I own the police. I am going to the states and your pretty wife is going to pay for what you are trying to do to me) thats not what he actually said, but You get the point.
On August 15 2008 I went to Minister Heredias Office to pick up my Work Permit and Trade Licence Approval, but was told that the Minister was not in His Office that Day.

So for the next week or so, I called the Ministers Office Daily in a Diligent Effort to secure My Work Papers but was repetetivily told that he was not available.
So On or About August 20, 2008 I went to the Ministers House at around 8:30 am in an Attempt to catch him before he left for work and He Instructed Me to come to His Office the Following Friday at 9:30am.

On Friday August 22, 2008 I was at the San Pedro Town Council at 8:00am waiting for the Minister, but was told that He would not be in his Office till after lunch.
After Lunch I went in back to the Town Coucil and around 3:00pm met with the Minister, whom told Me that He never recieved the Paperwork that He needed.

I explained that I left it with the Town Council (Martin I believe) on August 11, 2008, as instructed by Him during Our Meeting on August 08, 2008. at which time He went and asked (Martin I believe) about My paperwork, whom replied that the paperwork I had submitted did not Concern the Minister.
The Minister then Appologized for Martins Ommisions, Instructed Me to Resubmitt the Applications and that He would have My Work Papers within 3-5 Days (the following weekend) ...It Didnt Quite Work Out That Way........

Also during the Meeting I supplied Him with a Copy of the Attached Complaint, Advised Him of the Assault Perpetrated Upon Me by Mr. Boone on August 13, 2008 and the Threats made by Mr Jemison on August 15, 2008.

I Expressed My Well Founded Fears of Mr Boone and Mr. Jemison, at which time the Minister called a Sgt Wade with the San Pedro Police Department and Instructed Him to meet with Me, Take my Statement and Resolve these Issues.

I Graciously Thanked Him for his Guidance and Immediately went to San Pedro P.D. , but was told that Sgt Wade was not available, So I then Submitted the Attached Complaint in a Sealed Envelope addressed to Sgt Wade, thinking that the Matter would now Surely Be Resolved...It Didnt Quite Work Out That Way........

On August 26, 2007 My wife recieved a threatening email from Mr Boone stating that because she had the engine, he was going to prosecute her for theft and make her lose her real estate license, even though he gave it to us because it was going to be forfeited and as part of helping him by packing all of his belongings that he Abruptly left while Fleeing Prosecution

The email was extremely personal and originally sent to me by my wife on July 02, 2007
In Mr Boones threatening email he states that it was forwarded to him by Mr Jemison,

Due to the extremely personal nature of the email, The only way Mr Jemison could have gained access to it is if he secretly searched through my emails and forwarded them to his email while I was on the boat, and my computer was in the Fidos Palapa, to which I consider a severe and grevious breach of my privacy and theft while conspiring with Mr. Boone.

During the Meeting I had Deeply Expressed My Concerns and Inquired into several things, Including, Work Permit, Tour Operators Licensing, Aviation Flight Paths, Allowable Weather Conditions and Operational Boundaries.

On August 26, 2007 My Wife recieved a call from Carrie Newton (Mr Boones girlfriend) whom stated that (I did not know what I was doing, or who I was messing with, and that if I dont leave the country that my life is in danger) So My Wife called the Broward County Sheriffs Office and reported the situation with Mr. Boone and Mrs. Newton.

On August 26, I called the U.S Embassy, American Citizen Services,explained the above facts to them, they told Me that the only thing they could do is Absolutely Nothing, and that I should consider Leaving the Country.

Due to the Fact that, I Missed my Wife and Family, My Resources were now Stolen / Depleted / Stolen from Me, and Low Season begining on September 01, I Decided to Store My Boat in Tom Vidrines Boat Yard and Fly back to the States to see My Family, Regroup and Wait for High Season to Arrive. Thank You, Tom Vidrine for letting Me store My Boat on a Handshake to Pay.

Being the size of My Boat though, I was not able to put it in Dry Dock and had to leave it Afloat, So For the 5 weeks I was gone, did not 1 minute pass that I didnt Fear My Boat Sinking or Being Sunk by Mr Boone and or Mr Jemison.

By October 15, 2008 While in Florida I had Acquired Another $10,000 and and Flew back on October 17, 2008 2 friends, Hayden Boyd and Sam Hawkins (neither of whom I had known more than 6 months) to resume where I was Forced to Leave Off setting up My Operation

Thank God I arrived when I did because Somebody had cut the Outdrive Bellows on My Boat,  It was Raining Profusely, it had had nearly 3 feet of Water Throughout the bilges, the bilge pumps were broken, and she was rapidly taking on water and would have Sunk in a Matter of Hours a If I hadnt spent 7 hours / all night pumping it out with a hand pump.....Glad it Worked Out That Way......

On October 19, 2008 I had seen Minister Heredia at his House and He told Me tat he had My Work Papers and to come by His Office the following Wednesday October 22, 2008, to pick them up ......It Didnt Quite Work Out That Way........

On October 22, I went to Minister Heredias Office at the Town Council Building and was told that He was not in today, but as I was leaving I had seen Mayor Paz and inquired as to the status of My Trade License, to which she replied that the Minister was handling it himself and that he would be in his Office the following Thursday, but once again I arrived at
