Greetings!
In St. Maarten you don't really know who your friends are. It is equally true for people who come from abroad touting great plans and presentations and promising things that sound too good to be true. The latter usually sets off an alarm bell with us here at StMaartenNews.com.
When we investigate certain friends of certain people, we conclude that you can never really know who your friends are, unless..... Unless you do the necessary due diligence.
In these trying times, especially during this pandemic, we have to be extra careful who we consider to be our friends and who we do business with. We all know the proverbial saying: Show us your friends and we will tell you who you are. Well, read the following articles and you draw your own conclusion: friends or opportunists?
Fredericka Ford: She is a billionaire and her name isn’t Oprah
MP Brison brought Fredericka Ford to St. Maarten
Therapy via the internet proposed as a solution for mental health care on St. Maarten
A multi-million dollar sales pitch
More to come... stay tuned.
