carib sea

[fkshiu]

Synopsis:
CaribSea got busted for illegally importing 42,000 lbs. of LR from Haiti contrary to CITES (an entire container load).

They were fined a total of about $35,000 and put on probation. The rock went to some research institute.

Makes you wonder where they get all that nice sand the company packages up and sell for a ransom from . . .

They get it mostly from the aragonite mine in the Bahamas:
