Mystery man buys three speedboats with cash then flees
A six foot six inch, 220 pound unidentified man in Fort Lauderdale bought three twin engine boats for 46 400 in 100 bills and sped off along the intracoastal dropping hundred dollar bills into the water. Three girls rode on two boats while a third carried one as they departed from Everglades Marina. The buyer left 45 000 paid in cash with the balance for gas pending and the Cadillac used for the deal vanished. The license tag matched a Pompano Beach mailbox firm. No name was given.
