I am amazed that in Jamaica it took from April the 5th where Jim was ignoring all e-mails and phonecalls and paying No bills or rent that it took all the way up to May 24th to reclaim the property but I guess there were legal rules that had to be followed,

Even still, Jim seemed in No rush to leave the area.
If he knew he had done so wrong and stolen such hefty amounts of money I wonder why he stuck around? Very brave unless there was a reason.

It was very nice for Seasplash to put the guests up that Jim had accepted money from and honour their deals even with no payment for the hotel owners themselves.

I think at least 40 parties were held there, if only 50 people attended each party spending £20 each on a few drinks this is WITHOUT food costs there is £1000 per party so in total £40,000 (USD$62,000) from the bar alone just an underestimate from party days alone.This is just summising and of course some days a lot more guests were there and some days maybe less, and some people probably spent a whole lot more than that at the bar.
And this is just from the party days there were 5 other days a week for a whole 6 months of bar and food takings also to be had too.Thats an extra 120 days of the till being filled!
From what I see someone will have SOME of this cost covered.The property was insured also Living social has their own insurance and most people paid by credit card and they also have insurance.Living social would not refund everyone just to be kind obviously someone is insured.I imagine when they find Jim he will be in a huge court case.

So if he made $62k from the bar on party days (underestimate I think)
$96k from bookings
plus 6 months of food order takings and an extra 120 days of bar takings guesstimate $60k minimum
minus the 17k he spent on deposit and bar area= $201k so he should had just paid his bills and still been 21k up which is still a good wage considering the lifestyle and luxury and fun that came with it.
I bet a whole heap more was made than that too! It is easy for one couple to spend $80-$100 just in ONE meal.

So looks like he took way over $200k with him in his back pocket as well as leave almost that amount behind for someone else to repay.
Last time we heard from Jim he said this is not finished and he will be sorting this out legally.
It would be nice to hear the final outcome.
Just something does not sit right with me that if someone had taken ALL this money why did his partner leave before him and Jim stuck around alone knowing he had caused a major stink ? That part is the part which makes no sense to me.
