TL;DR Summary

A former Navy SEAL, initially involved in child rescue missions in Haiti, became embroiled in the country's politics and secured control of a picturesque island, Ile-à-Vache, from its inhabitants. His ties to Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.) and Haitian government figures facilitated this venture, which aimed to develop the island into a multi-billion dollar resort.

The ex-SEAL's business partners and their sources of funding also came under scrutiny, highlighting a complex web of connections and questionable activities.
