This is my take from reading various sites.
Beth Twitty told the FBI when Joran contacted her.
The FBI set up a sting. Beth's lawyer, John Q Kelly, went to Aruba and gave Joran $10,000 cash and also wired $15,000 to a Dutch account. Those events set Joran up for extortion and wire fraud. There is a video of Joran counting the $10,000.
Aruban authorities were in on this and warned the FBI that Joran was going to leave Aruba shortly.
That is where the criticisms of the FBI dropping the ball are coming from.
They had Joran but didn't arrest him in time.
Which is rather frightening when one considers how much stuff has been written over the past 5 years about possible Chicago MOB connections to Aruba, which I've read is frequently called, MAFIA ISLAND.

Did not know the FBI could arrest anyone in a foreign country without INTERPOL or the national law enforcement. Seems that the Aruban authorities had the responsibility to intercept him at the airport - with possessing foreign currency etc., etc.,
