There is no better indication that an economy is in peril
than a popular brothel no longer being able to bribe the police to look the
other way. On Monday, the Ministry of National Security with much fanfare
publicly announced that they had busted the notorious Chaguanas brothel ‘Dad’s
Dan’, charging the owner with human trafficking offenses and keeping a brothel.
And sure enough by Wednesday we learnt that the TT dollar had depreciated
against the US dollar.
