Maurice Sjerps, accomplice of Patrick Visser in the Silva Tree/Sustainable Capital Group swindle, has been arrested in Costa Rica for yet another teak scam.
Patrick Visser et al have fraud artist Monte Friesner as their new best friend, and ask the judge to seize Bananama Republic in rambling court performance!
A former employee spills the beans about boiler room practices, how Visser et al funneled investors money into their pockets and leaving them with nothing, while jetting all over the world themselves on "business trips".
Finally the authorities have figured out that 1 plus 1 is 2, and that if they contact your editor for one thing at his residence they could probably contact him there for something else as well.
So much for that whole spin that Patrick Visser was no longer involved in Silva Tree, which has been renamed into "Sustainable Capital Group".
What's going on with Silva Tree, Sustainable Capital Group and Patrick Visser, Maurice Sjerps and Keren Visser-Katz? Your Bananama Republic decided to run a factsheet.
Silva Tree's Patrick Visser has disappeared from the web, while a European report lists them as "land grabbing vultures" linked to boiler room schemes.
And we have another great example of how just about any foreign swindler can set up shop in Panama: Silva Tree makes false claims and is led by a former real estate and timeshare con man.
