Jonathan took your money, all the other Merry Edwards cruiser's money, and the Tobin James cruiser's money and paid his debts on the other cruises that were only half sold. Unfortunately I was on one of the half sold cruises but I am also SOL on the Tobin James cruise. Fine Food & Wine Cruise's business model was high risk. If they sold more than 75-80% of the cruise they made good money. If they sold less than 70% they lost money, as much as $200,000 per under sold cruise. So the fact that 4 out of 5 of their last cruises did not break even, you can now see where everyone's money went. Some would say this is a Ponzi scheme, Jonathan would say it was an unfortunate business venture. Whatever it is, he is still in business selling charter cruises with Shoes Only Travel. In fact, that's where he and Lori are right now, sailing the Caribbean on our money.
