Johnson allegedly lied to authorities and claimed that he did have passengers who paid to be on his ship but then instructed them, one of whom was a police officer, to inform officials that they had not paid. Johnson also admitted that he had engaged in another scheme where he took money from a couple for a trip that never happened. The couple reportedly paid him $20,000 to transport them on the MV SPANISH PRINCESS to Honduras, where they were going to live however the trip never happened, and Johnson only returned $1,000 of their money.
