Jeffery Bonner is my daughters father, we live in California, he has never paid child support. I would love to find anyone in Costa Rica who could get me an address for him. I only recently found out about this case. I hear that Costa Rican officials would arrest him for not paying child support. He should spend the rest of his life in Jail. If he is out he will always be hurting someone.

Well actually the movie was right on except for the fat that CR is not an island as far as everything else is very true the CR cops are corrupt and the government is one of the most corrupt on the planet. Money laundering drugs, sport books, illegal call centers that scam people out of money is CR’s specialty. The CR government are clowns, no one needs permission to use their uniforms in a movie is freedom of artistic rights, awesome movie make more like this.

There is a reward of $35.000 for the Capture of Cody Burgenstein and Jeff Bonner from the families that had there money stolen and $45.000 from another group of people that had money stolen. They already paid out money for Glen adkins and Warren tonnsing being arrrested. FBI are looking for these scum bags and there US passport have been denied by many countries.

Maybe the authors just had foresight Larry…lol. After all with a canal to the north and one to the south…Costa Rica will soon be an island.

My hometown, near Rochester, is 12,000 people. Everyone knows these wise guys. They are big time business owners. The ones I know are actually very good people, who just happen to like gambling. The government obviously just wants their tax money, which is understandable. The call centers that operate out of these countries, are just that. The money stays in the USA. Costa Rica is very complicent, just as the movie indicates. And make no doubt, there are many unsavory people who also get involved in this type of business.

The film is a very accurate portrayal of the gambling outfits that are run out of this region of the world. The main players busted in this article are from my hometown, near Rochester, NY. I went to high school with his son and know them very well. It is much bigger than most realize. Soon Costa Rica will lose these call centers jobs too, like them or not. Gov Chris Christie legalized these operations to be run out of New Jersey.

Funny about the international court. Fortunately, I don’t believe there’s anywhere they can build a road in protest.

I haven’t seen the film, either, but if they’re portraying Costa Rica as an island that says all that needs be said about any research done prior to production. Even after living in Costa Rica a dozen years we’ve got friends that still believe it’s an island.

Perhaps they should just cry to the international court about it, as is their standard mode of response to any situation.

Costa Rica is the perfect Country for Corruption. Look at the Brazen Criminal Doug Smith, willspy.com; and his accomplices. He operated a Fraudulent business (as an illegal alien), in Costa Rica for over eight years. Even threatening victims with Costa Rican Law Enforcement, and OIJ. And the Costa Ricans didn’t even prosecute him. Just deported him. Crime without punishment.
