U.S. Escapee Bragged About Bermuda Move
Two convicted bank robbers have escaped from an Illinois prison, and one of them reportedly bragged about a plan he had to move to Bermuda.
The escapees are Kenneth Conley, 38, who was facing 20 years, and Jose Banks, 37, who was facing an 80-year sentence. Conley was the one who bragged about moving to Bermuda. The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to their capture.
CBS News reports that: “Chicago’s federal lock-up is an imposing high-rise that has defied escape for almost three decades. But somehow, two cellmates enlarged a six-inch wide window slit, removed its bars and, in the predawn darkness, lowered themselves at least 15 floors to freedom, using knotted bed sheets to repel down the building’s facade. A surveillance camera caught the pair getting into a downtown Chicago cab around 2:41 Tuesday morning.”
What in the world am i reading?…. is this part of HR’s new recruitment process?
Could have run for the PLP in Constituency #21 in the next election.
…or worked on a golf course.
He just found out that the OBA got in . . .well planned!!!!
Saw him hanging around the bottom of Collectors Hill , heading towards the back of the restaurant .
Probably wanted one of their well fish sandwiches.
Well, it will take them quite a while to get to Bermuda by Cab…
I hope he is not planning to take one of those 2000 jobs planned for us. But will he get a work permit, with no term limits?
Perhaps he’d heard that American’s of dubious character can come here and run the place like a gangster, take Bermudians for millions, and bugger off back home after a few years.
No place to hide here as the police eventually find you….so what is the point…
He must have found out his boy Shawn is the new tourism minister and knew he would help him out.
Shawn can’t be of too much help, as he needs to apply for a waiver to go to America like all the other convicted drug criminals. And if he doesn’t than every Bermudian who fits in that category, especially the ones who can’t travel for possessing as little as a weed seed, need to stomp on Parliament, the minute they reconvene.
I heard that Shawn can travel freely to the US as a result of assisting a US Senator or the like. It would be nice if Bernews would look into and confirm or disprove.
NOW THE FBI WANTS US DO THEIR JOB? LOL BPS IS BAD ENOUGH! LOL
