News & Notes Volume II, No. 39

"However, one incident put Carlos Lehder, and the Bahamian government, at loggerheads. It involved the arrest of Carlos Lehder’s colleagues, but they were not immediately released. Apparently, there had been an agreement that, from time to time, a few arrests would be made in order to make the government look good and soon after, the suspects would be released.

This time, however, things didn’t go as expected, and the government took steps to indict them, something which infuriated Carlos. He became so mad that he loaded one of his planes with paper money and flew all over Nassau throwing down the cash to mock the Bahamian government. This put him in their bad books."
