well well well; what do we have here? and this is just the tip of the iceberg.many of the big businesses that we know in guyana are funded this way.They are FRONTS for this type of activity
I reallly want the us government to get to the heart of it all and root out the shame that all this is causing to our beautiful guyana.

We as Guyanese out here try and promote our people as hard working and peaceful.

The actions of these CRIMINALS undermine all that we try to do.

Even if they used a part of this tainted money for good, it will serve no eternal benefit to them.

I see what distruction drugs brings.

This puts us in the same ball park as those who ship drugs from the EAST.

This does not make sense. Why are they only being sentence now? This is 3 years after the fact, is justice so slow?

Read the above-postings of 46 bloggers. They are having a field day. Such glee unheard of.

Look, drug money corrupts people everywhere. I mean everywhere – the world over. This is not unique to Guyana. Do not use this drug story involving a few people to make a statement of the Guyanese people or nation.

Fact is by and large, the Guyanese people are a damn decent and hardworking people. All they want is to make a better life in America.

Let us also express gratitude to the U.S. law enforcement agencies for exposing and cleaning up the mess of a few corrupt people.

Let it leave no taint – no stain – on the Guyanese people as a whole.

“Meanwhile, the prosecution served a seizure warrant on JP Morgan Chase bank, for an account held there which listed the principal owner as James Morgan, father of Peter Morgan and Sabrina Budhram. In 2004, when Arnold and Sabrina Budhram were arrested, the court was told, James Morgan was serving a ten-year sentence in the United Kingdom for drug importation”

This a clear linkage between James Morgan, father of Peter Morgan and Sabrina Budhram, Arnold Budhram and Roger Khan. This is how tight the lid of their operation were until now.

I am sure that they would have already made deals with the DA which is why they are still out of jail on to now.

It is my hope that SN would publish pictures of these people just as it does with RK and it did with the two watchmen who stole from their employer.

The movie will either be called The Young & the Reckless or Showdown in Little Georgetown, whatever the name I want to see the premier & have the DVD for my children, their children & their future generations to show what not to do when in power. Corruption, drug smuggling, gun & ammunition runnings, extrajudicial killings & money laundering giving legitimate businessmen a time of their lives to make ends meet while sitting in high offices enjoying the spoils of criminal activities. Turning a blind eye while ‘criminals’ help build their houses, provide them with “gifts” then defend them as law-biding citizens & “embattled BUSINESSMEN” How pathetic!!!

I guess if Mr. Hutson is ever held (& I doubt it but, just wishful thinking), we might have a few more episodes to add to the soap opera that’s blooming before our eyes.

could the reason why people like the budram’s hold 2 jobs be because they are keeping up appearances, they have to show a reason where there houses, cars and money is coming from ….dah!!!!!!!!!!

its sickening to hear the defense attorney say these people are not a flight risk and the evidence of that is that their family is willing ot put up their life savings and houses as surety. of course they will put it up, it probably all came to them as a result of the l activities of the other 2.

Lots of good coming out of taking alleged criminals alive, then trying them in court where they sing like kiskadees. The Budrams, husband and wife sang like playback singers. Richard James and Mallay sang like Mohamed Rafi and Kishore Kumar.
It make a stronger case for catching crooks in Guyana live. All the more reason why fineman should have been caught alive, and if not fineman, at least some of his liutenants. It makes me wonder if there is not a conspiracy to have these WANTED men DEAD rather than live. That way dead men tell no tales about the missing weapons and who helped them steal them and where these weapons still are; about their spies in the security forces, and particularly about the people who goad them on politically and make them into heroes and freedom fighters.
