LEADER OF CAYMAN GANG OF FOUR THREATENS BLIND INVESTOR WHO ASKED FOR HIS FUNDS

The Cayman Gang of Four are showing signs of desperation lately. A 90-year old American investor, who is blind and disabled, was threatened by the group's leader, Sharon Lexa Lamb, when he again requested that his investment account be returned to him. 

Lamb told the client that, should he continue to ask for his money, she would turn over all his information to the Internal Revenue Service, and that the end result would be a Federal prison term for tax evasion.

Is there nothing the Gang of Four will not do to hold on to the estimated $450m they have stolen from Canadian and American investors ? This is one of the most despicable things they have done to date. 

Lamb had previously delayed refunding the investor his money, by placating him with the story that B & C Capital had to sell off some stock, and then he would receive his $2m, in full. When that lie ran out, she threatened the investors with the dire consequences stated above.

The investor, who has no liability for undeclared income, has decided to proceed with litigation, but, in my humble opinion, no less than a substantial prison time, in a Federal Prison in the United States, is in order, for Sharon Lexa Lamb, as well as the other members of the Cayman Gang of Four, Derek Buntain, Fernando Mota Mendez, and the fugitive, Ryan Bateman.

GARY LUNDGREN & OTHER DIRECTORS WILL BE SUED FOR $75M IN DAMAGES BY TRUMP ORGANIZATION

TRUMP SEEKS $75m IN DAMAGES AGAINST GARY LUNDGREN AND OTHER TRUMP OCEAN CLUB DIRECTORS

                   

     
The Trump Organization has brought a claim against the Directors of Panama's Trump Ocean Club, which is led by the American businessman, Gary Lundgren, for $75m, for wrongfully terminating Trump's management agreement with the condominium association. Lundgren is seeking to have his wife take over management of the condominium, and collect the maintenance fees, though she has no training or experience in building management.

The case was reportedly brought before a type of arbitration, and is not public, but details were leaked to American  media, and Trump's New York attorney confirmed the filing. The complaint also alleges that Lundgren has engaged in a wide variety of illegal activity in Panama.

Lundgren and Perez

Gary Lundgren, whose controversial career has been the subject of much media attention, is said to be the owner of the largest number of properties in Trump Ocean Club, allegedly acquired with laundered Colombian narcotics profits, and millions in cash given to him, by the convicted Colombian Ponzi schemer, David Eduardo Helmut Murcia Guzmán, which he later stole, when Murcia was extradited. Witnesses have seen Lundgren present for deposit, at Panamanian banks, $15-16m in cash, in garbage bags, still wet from covert fast-boat transport from Colombia.

 Lundgren allegedly met Murcia through drug cartel kingpins in Medellín,  who are related to Lundgren's wife, Griselda Pérez. Murcia is reported to have laundered two billion dollars, in FARC narco-profits, in Panama.

Griselda Pérez

Lundgren's checkered past, which includes allegations of money laundering of narcotics profits, his status as a known sexual predator in the US and in Panama, and his theft of Panama real estate, owned by expats from North America and Europe, and his failure to pay accrued interest to his investors, should have disqualified him from serving as chairman of the Board of Directors of any public company. 

Lundgren has also been said to have acquired bonds, issued by the corporation that developed the project, Newland, through opaque circumstances.

Lundgren's longtime association with Panamanian attorney Ismael Gerli has led to speculation that Gerli had a role in advising Lundgren in his mysterious acquisition of the bonds,  and acquiring Trump Ocean Club condominium units, for cash. Some Panama observers claim that Lundgren covets the casino license at the building, and also wants to be the recipient of the monthly condominium maintenance payments paid by the unit owners.

DUNDEE BANK IN GRAND CAYMAN OPERATED BY CRIMINALS & FRAUDSTERS

FROM THE - CHRONICLES Of Andrei Slavenkov Netherlands – Analyst For Wanted SA ~ Contributed & Written By Kenneth Rijock ~

DUNDEE BANK - OPERATED ILLEGALLY BY FRAUDSTERS - ABRUPTLY CLEANED OUT WHEN SUIT FILED

Grand Cayman's Dundee Merchant Bank,* though ordered liquidated years ago, and which was operating illegally, was abruptly cleaned out, and its computers and bank records removed post haste yesterday, when the news broke that a major civil suit had been filed against it.

The bank has been a base for a $450m trading fraud, perpetrated by the Cayman Gang of Four, a quartet of financial scoundrels who stole from Canadian and American retirees and pensioners.

A review of Cayman Islands public records showed that no liquidation, nor receivership, nor any other permitted class of dissolution of the bank, has ever been initiated, let alone completed, notwithstanding that Canadian regulators has ordered it closed a long time ago. 

The bank has only a Class B banking license, which requires a full-service financial institution as a parent organization, and Canada's Dundee Corporation had sold off its banking arm years ago. Financial media, and even reputable reference materials, have listed Dundee as "in liquidation" for years, meaning that this disinformation was deliberately leaked to the financial press.

The bank had never been liquidated, though Dundee Corporation has claimed that it had completed the necessary actions, and handed off the liquidation to bank management, headed by President Derek Buntain. Mr. Buntain is missing, and is believed to be hiding somewhere in Canada's Atlantic Provinces, possibly Prince Edward Island, where his family resides.

Dundee President Buntain

Witnesses stated that Sharon Lexa Lamb, the Senior Vice President of Dundee Bank, ordered the bank's small Grand Cayman offices stripped, after she was notified by a staff member at the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands that a Statement of Claim had been filed, against her, and the bank, alleging massive breaches of fiduciary duty to account holders**.

There are three unanswered questions that deserve attention:

(1) If the bank was in clear violation of Cayman banking laws, why was it allowed to remain in operation by CIMA, the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority, the relevant government agency charged with regulating the financial sector ? No liquidation was filed, yet media was declaring it as fact. Who was guilty of regulator malpractice at CIMA, and should they not be disciplined for this abject failure ? Also, why didn't CIMA catch Dundee's parent's sale ? Is this not gross negligence ?

(2) If Dundee Corporation did, as it claims, sign off on the liquidation, why was there never any on-site inspection and report, to confirm that it actually was accomplished ? That is basic due diligence, and the fact that a document was issued, under the bank's name, recently, showing Dundee Corporation's Toronto address for Dundee Merchant Bank, in a mailing to clients, suggests that it knew, or should have known, that the bank was still in operation.

(3) Where is Canada's financial regulator, the National Bank of Canada, in all this ? There is no publicly-available document that tells consumers and investors the details of the ordered liquidation, and the authority through which it was ordered. Investors were blindly following word of mouth. Should we not have regulatory filing transparency, especially regarding high-risk, and non-CDIC/FDIC, financial institutions located in offshore financial centers ?

One wonders where the bank's computers, and books & records are. Perhaps someone at the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service might want to step in here, and pay Ms. Lamb, and the rest of the Gang of Four,  a visit.

MICHAEL SZAFRANSKI FINANCIAL ADVISER IN ROTHSTEIN PONZI SCHEME TO PLEAD GUILTY

FINANCIAL ADVISER WHO DECEIVED INVESTORS IN ROTHSTEIN PONZI SCHEME TO PLEAD GUILTY

Michael Szafranski

Michael Szafranski, the independent financial adviser who was supposed to examine, and qualify, Scott Rothstein's bogus investments for clients, but ended up taking money from Rothstein, and steering clients to what he knew, or should have known, was a Ponzi scheme, has indicated that he will change his plea to guilty, in US District Court in Florida. it is alleged that he concealed material information about the safety and validity of the Rothstein "investments" in structured out-of-court settlements, and profited from his participation in the massive fraud.

It had been originally anticipated that Szafranski would actually go to trial in his case, but delays in the setting of the trial date raised the possible issue as to whether his attorney was negotiating a plea with the US Attorney's Office. Whether he will be compelled to disgorge the reputed millions of dollars paid to him by Scott Rothstein is not known.

 The case represents a teachable moment in any investment: insure that your financial investment adviser in truly independent, that he does not receive any monetary benefit from referring specific investments to you, and that he does perform due diligence, or enhanced due diligence, and provides you with evidence of this. Remember, Szafranski originally was engaged by a hedge fund to verify the Rothstein investments.

You can be proactive in checking out your adviser;  Is he living above what you believe his means is ? Has he purchased substantial real estate holdings, over and above what he should be capable of buying ? Is he driving a Rolls or Bentley ? Know your adviser, if you trust him with your investment decisions.

FERNANDO MOTO MENDES – BANKRUPT 2010 & NOW MANAGING CANADIAN FUGITIVE RYAN BATEMAN FINANCIAL GROUPS IN CAYMAN ISLANDS |

~From The Files of Andrei Slavenkov – Director WANTED SA (Netherlands)~

~Contributed & Written by Kenneth Rijock ~

DODGY NEW MANAGER OF CAYMAN INVESTMENT COMPANY MISLEADS INVESTORS SEEKING WITHDRAWALS

If you were disturbed by our earlier article*, about the fugitive Canadian financier, Ryan Bateman, who fled not only pending criminal charges in the Cayman Islands, but was under investigation by government regulators, it gets worse. Replacing Bateman at the helm of the (unlicensed) B & C Capital Ltd., is Fernando Moto Mendes, whose sordid record on Grand Cayman should have disqualified him from that position, and Mendes has started right off, by misleading foreign clients who have sought to withdraw portions of their holdings.

Mendes has a "colorful" history, in his residence in the Cayman Islands:

(1) In 2010, he failed to pay large debts when due,  which is the textbook definition of insolvency, and a final judgment for USD$ 513,638.78 was entered,  after which the judgment creditors took him into involuntary bankruptcy, in the Financial Services Division of the Grand Court. The Court heard his case in 2011, and he, and his counsel delayed the proceedings a number of times, claiming that payment of the debit was imminent, but no proof was offered for the truth of his assertion.**.

(2) In 2011, Mendes was arrested, and charged with Theft, Attempted Theft, False Accounting, and the Making of a False Statement by a Company Director, in the Finab Ltd. case. Mendes had been the Managing Director of Finab. At his 2014 trial, the Court found that the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service had failed to obtain and retain material evidence, which made it impossible for the defendant to have a fair trial, and stayed the proceedings, discharging Mendes. Rumors swirled around Grand Cayman that an illegal payment had been made to certain police officers, which resulted in their failure to secure vital evidence.

                                           

Canadian investors seeking, at this time, to withdraw portions of the assets placed with B & C have been told, by Mendes, that there will have to be certain funds withheld, for Canadian taxation. The truth is that there is no withholding agreement, nor any reciprocal tax agreement, between Cayman & Canada. Given that Bateman is said to have co-mingled investor money with his own, and that some  money may be missing, whether lost, due to Bateman's negligence, or stolen by him, it is likely that B & C, which was recommended by prominent Canadian law firms, does not have the investors' funds.

Is Fernando Mendes a part of Bateman's illegal actions ? In any event, why is he lying about the withholding to clients ? Where is the investors' money, and how did Mendes ever get the position he holds at B & C Capital, with his record ?

DR. ARTHUR PORTER FORMER CHAIRMAN OF THE INTELLIGENCE REVIEW COMMITTEE FOR CSIS (CANADA INTELLIGENCE AGENCY) MURDERED BY PANAMA JUDICIAL SYSTEM |

FROM THE - CHRONICLES of Vladimir Feldman  – Criminal & Intelligence Analyst and Consulaire for WANTED SA~
~Contributed & Written by Kenneth Rijock ~

DID PANAMA BANKS DELAY ARTHUR PORTER'S EXTRADITION, TO SEIZE HIS MONEY UPON HIS AVOIDABLE DEATH ?

Dr. Arthur Porter

Dr. Arthur Porter, a prominent Canadian physician, who was accused of diverting tens of millions of dollars, in a major hospital bribery scandal, has died, while in custody, in the Republic of Panama. 

The back story, of his unnecessary and untimely death, paints an ugly and disgusting picture of the avarice of Panama's leading banks, who reportedly maneuvered to delay his extradition. 

The purpose of the delay was to ensure that he would expire in Panama, having large accounts in local banks, which the banks intended to seize and convert to their own use. Porter was allegedly involved in a $22.5m kickback scheme in Canada.

Mr. Porter, who was formerly the chairman of the Intelligence Review Committee, overseeing CSIS, Canada's intelligence agency, had terminal lung cancer, when he was detained in Panama in 2013. 

It has been widely reported in Panama City, that bank executives, at those Panamanian financial institutions where Porter kept large accounts, conspired to pressure local prosecutors, under the corrupt former Martinelli administration, to delay his extradition indefinitely, for the sole purposes of retaining it after his premature death, due to the criminal denial of treatment for Porter. 

The deceased, who passed away on July 1st, is said to have suffered greatly in jail;  he could have survived for a long period of time, had he been allowed to return to Canada, to face the charges, and be treated for his illness.

The vulture-like attitude of Porter's Panamanian bankers, which has shocked even the most hardened Panama observers, is indicative of the absolutely amoral culture that exists among the most senior bankers in Panama. 

Whether those individuals whose improper influence resulted in Porter's mistreatment and excessive period of incarceration, when he had already waived any defenses, and asked to be extradited, receive justice for their crimes, is another matter.

Springfield Man Sentenced to 60 Years for Producing Child Pornography 

SPRINGFIELD, MO—Tammy Dickinson, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a Springfield, Mo., man was sentenced in federal court today for sexually exploiting two children to produce child pornography.

Ronald Mazza, 34, of Springfield, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge M. Douglas Harpool to 60 years in federal prison without parole.

Mazza pleaded guilty to two separate counts of using two children, identified as “Jane Doe” and “John Doe,” to produce child pornography between Aug. 1 and Dec. 1, 2013. Mazza also pleaded guilty to one count of receiving and distributing child pornography over the Internet.

Mazza was arrested on Dec. 3, 2013, when his wife reported to the Springfield, Mo., Police Department that she found images of child pornography on his computer. When officers arrived at their residence, she showed them images of a three-year-old victim and a five-year-old victim on Mazza’s computer. 

As the officers were in the process of seizing the computer, Mazza arrived at the home and was immediately placed under arrest. He has remained in federal custody without bond since his arrest.

According to court documents, investigators discovered approximately 432 images and 61 videos depicting child pornography, including the sexual exploitation of infants, on Mazza’s computer. Five videos and 53 images contained sexually explicit depictions of the two victims that Mazza produced. 

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has reported that Mazza’s images of those victims have been recovered in multiple unrelated child pornography investigations, indicating that those images are now circulating the Internet.

Mazza also faces state charges in Greene County Circuit Court for three counts of statutory sodomy, three counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, one count of statutory rape, one count of sexual misconduct involving a child, one count of promoting child pornography and 13 counts of possessing child pornography.

This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney James J. Kelleher. It was investigated by the Springfield, Mo., Police Department and the FBI.

Project Safe Childhood

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. 

Led by the United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.
