    It is quite clear the intention of the two accused were to extort money from Mr. Travolta’s lawyers. What is more apparent is their intent and any lawyer should know that you do not “represent” a person who aims to extort money from another” -its simply breaking the law. But then again -things are always better in the Bahamas for these two. Hopefully they will get a lengthy prison term and if they don’t -the Bahamas as corrupt as it is -should be boycotted for a very long time.
