Mr. Clarke said he too has spoken to members of the Financial Crimes Unit, who he says have been an extremely dedicated and professional staff; however he noted that because Mr. Patz left the country and went back to Canada, it is now an international endeavor to try to bring him back to face justice, which is why he is soliciting the co-operation of the TCI government, the Financial Crimes Unit and anyone who might be able to right the wrong that has been done to him and the other investors in the Royal Reef Resort.

Clarke said the Royal Reef Resort was supposed to be a source of revenue in many respects.
