He has destroyed the local economy the countries that he has gone too, Caribbean, Cuba etc. They preach it is a danger to leave the walls of the hotel, which is a LIE. Meanwhile the locals have no income. It is all greed. He has now done this in Mallorca. In my opinion he is just a Criminal but in a different form.
