I asked Bill Young, founder of Aquarium for Pensacola, what did he mean by “legal concerns” that he had with Rodney Rowe that he mentioned in his apology letter to elected officials.
Here is his reply:
We are currently assessing the validity and impact of all actions, statements and transactions for which Mr. Rowe was responsible. We are also cognizant of the disturbing possibility of incidents with which his personal life may have been impacted, although the validity has not been determined. We will seek full remedy for all assets of Aquarium for Pensacola which Mr. Rowe may have converted or misapplied for personal gain. Additionally, Hancock Bank and the local authorities will have to assess whether any criminal activities have occurred. Mr. Rowe has been removed as a member of the board and all accounts on which he had signature support have been amended.
Mr. Young has become quite a wordsmith. Apparently there are assets missing, assets that involve Hancock Bank. Hmmm, sounds like cash is missing or can’t be properly accounted for. This story gets more bizarre by the minute.
