Narrative:
Flight conditions: in and out of IMC. Position: 14 DME from zfp VOR (freeport, bahamas). Communicating with fpo departure (mygf). First noticed traffic on TCASII +700 ft, 3 mi. At this time, we were unable to communicate with departure because of lengthy communication between departure and king air. As the king air approached our altitude in range approximately 400 ft above, visual contact was obtained. I began rocking my wings and prepared for aggressive right turn. The king air crossed in front and passed to the port of me. At this time, departure advised me of the traffic and that the king air was not supposed to be at that altitude. When handed off to ZMA, I advised them of the near midair collision. The rest of the flight was uneventful.
