Despite assurances from officials and extensive efforts to follow the rules, the situation spiraled due to local corruption, miscommunication, and systemic failures.Connect with TerryTV Show: https://wvexplorershow.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/wvexplorerFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/terry.foster.714655/about_life_eventsGet 50% sitewide for a limited time.

Full Episode
This was the first $100 million of a $500 million deal. He said, you guys have families. We know people. You're going to regret this. And I have to say, they were right. We ended up with a franchise acting and modeling school. What we did, a road show, and this was in the summer of 2011.
What happens at these, you promote them and what people bring their kids in because their kids want to get into commercials or get into acting. So how did you end up in the...
the bahamas like how you went to the bahamas like how does obviously we're here on a true crime podcast so it obviously went wrong right it definitely went wrong so the whole family went down and just to backtrack to the process i mean it's like it was like pulling teeth trying to get information about what do we need to do to do this event in the bahamas I mean, it's like I called the U.S.
Embassy, I called the Bahamian Embassy, made a contact there, Bahamian Embassy in Washington, D.C., contacted the marketing company in Miami, and ended up working with a company called Carter Marketing in Bahamas. And every one of them was, what do we need to do this business trip and make this event?
Make sure that we're covered and we got all of our eyes dotted and our T's crossed that we're not going to have a problem. Well, there was never that satisfaction of, yeah, I got it covered. But the main thing was I was working with the Wyndham Resort in Nassau. I think it was called Cable Beach. And I was working with him saying, okay, am I covered? Do we have everything that we need?
He goes, well, you need a business permit. Well, no, you don't need a business permit. Well, I talked to so-and-so, and one of the chain emails that I have came from the representative from the Wyndham Hotel. And, you know, this is a small country, a small island over there. A lot of people know each other, which is also a detriment to what happened to us.
was was led to it but uh when they said oh we talked to so-and-so at immigration or travel and tourism don't remember exactly what the department was i think they talked to somebody in immigration and i've got this in writing in an email i said you do not need a work permit you're doing something to benefit the island and the citizens of the island all you need is a letter of intent submitted for what you're doing
Well, I had that. I've been sending that out since literally since the first week we started booking the event and everything. So it's kind of like, OK, well, I guess we're good to go. But never did feel real easy about it.
I partnered with MyHeritage to take a DNA test to find out more about my ancestry. MyHeritage sent me a DNA kit, and all I have to do is swab the inside of my cheek, put it in the container, and mail it back. While waiting for your results, you can enhance, colorize, and even animate your old family photos. It's like bringing your family history to life.
