And they also make it harder for normal, good, people to try to travel or work in other countries due to their actions.
There's a story about a predator who was subbed Mr. Swirly-Face who would hop around Asian countries.
He would badger people online and would brag about his exploits, but his forum avatar turned out to be a swirled picture of his face.
South Korean officials caught wind of the dude and figured out a way to un-swirl his face, basically giving them a mugshot.
They caught him less than 2 weeks later and as a result, he caused the government to make the rules much stricter for foreigners to enter the country long term.
I entered Korea after that dude, and it's an absolute pain in the ass to do anything related to immigration, both pre-entry and after being in the country.
The terms that they put in place are pretty much permanent and were caused by one dude calling attention to himself.
I sure hope the Dominican government is ruthless enough to never let him see the light of day again once they catch wind of this.
