Brook trout poachers busted - via own videos

Oops.

U.S. Anglers Caught on YouTube Fined $4,500 and Banned for Illegal Brook Trout Fishing in Ontario

So, is poaching an extradition crime or did these  geniuses go back to a country where they were wanted? We know that they are all geniuses  from the video posting of a  crime in progress, but the crime went down in March and the investigation didn't even begin until August, which should have been enough time for the poachers  to escape back to the USA.

I always get a kick out of ding dongs that get themselves busted by posting to social media. 😀

Just speculatng - Maybe these guys had reasons they wanted to continue to visit Canada so they decided to settle rather than get put on the banned from entering Canada list.
