Yohny Rosado - CaveTubing.com
"They have given me the results of a default of $600 thousand. As you know the GSU is trying to get rid of all the opposition, of all the criminals and the GST is trying to get rid of all the outspoken persons. This amount of default by GST on behalf of me, on behalf of my business, this is for you to get a gun and shoot yourself. This a ridiculous number; I don't even think I owe $600 thousand. But the GST have defaulted me of $600 thousand. This is not a default, this is corruption because they could have found me in default in the first year or in the first second month. If I miss GST right now, next Monday they penalize me but they audited me because I'm talking too much. They audited me because I was on record to say this government is the worst government and I think I mention a couple of bad words. So this paper represents when you speak against your government. They single you out, they don't want to lash you, they want to kill you. This is murder. This amount of money that I owe the government...I have worked hard from Sunday to Sunday, this is not like Gapi Vega that works differently from us. I work from Sunday to Sunday. So this that I owe the government $60 thousand is blatant corruption."

David Almendarez - FECTAB
"This is an intentional witch hunt to close down FECTAB. It is an intentional witch-hunt to shut down Yohny Rosado. We are here to say we've got Yohny Rosado back and we will stand and the government won't shut them down. I will tell you, Mr. Government, leave that Dot-com alone. It's not right. Think about how many Belizean tour guides this man operates. This is the thanks you give a man that went from taxi-man to employ 50 tour guides a day. Belizean tour guides get money out of this man and you will pressure him like this? You've got to go."

Perry Smith - Days of Healing
"We can't allow a brother like Yohny Rosado, Butts Up Cave Tubing, that employ so many brothers and sisters, that feed so many families, so many kids go to school because of this brother here, so many kids have food in their mouth and a roof over their head because of this brother here and the government wants to shut down this brother?"

Yohny Rosado
"This is a bullet in your head. This is a bullet in your heart. If you ever work so hard in your business and they give you this, you shoot yourself. So I now hereby, as a businessman, as a man that feels lonely, call on the support of the coalition on the support of the activists of Belize on the support of the leader of the opposition to help me out with this thick bill that I don't know if I'll ever pay."

Rosado says he will get lawyers, but it's going to be an uphill battle because the way the GST law is set up, the burden of proof lies with the assessed person, in this case, Rosado.
