So, last Wednesday, the 3rd, we had yet another one of those audiencias where yours truly is being tried for crimes against the honor of some foreign crook who has made Panama his base of operations, with the prosecuting being done by the infamous fiscalia 8, the office within Panama’s public ministry that is dedicated to this honor crap.
Monte Friesner and his wife, Tatiana Nazarova, were present, dressed as if going to an Albanian bank robbers convention. Below his white linen klepto-suit with Serbian war criminal tie, the serial fraud artist wore white clogs – we kid you not. Mrs. Nazarova had wrapped herself in a golden outfit that was maybe once fashionable in circles of Nicolae Ceaușescu but certainly not in 2012 Panama.
But worst of all was the prosecutor of the fiscalia 8. You should know, dear reader, that from the moment they accept a criminal complaint, these people have six months to investigate the alleged crime. So, what did they do in that time? Well, practically nothing.
They took the statements of Friesner and Nazarova. Then they did a whois search on our domain name – which takes about five minutes – and which they then tried to pass off as some big thing by calling it a “visual inspection”. That was the full extend of their investigation!
Had they done a bit more of that visual inspecting, say, another 30 minutes or so, they would have discovered that Friesner has a criminal past with convictions for fraud, money laundering and whatnot, that he has been in jail, that in 2004 another one of his scams was closed down in Canada, and so on – all public information available on government websites.
Instead, these amateurs maintained at trial that calling Friesner a “fraud artist” is a crime against his honor – even though a US judge said exactly the same.
And that’s not even the end of how these plonkers at the fiscalia 8 can’t even investigate their own toenails. Remember that Friesner, in some sort of delusional attempt at role playing, assumed the identity of one Shanita Ramdin, sending your reporter emails accusing himself of being a gangster and his wife of being a prostitute? The fiscalia 8 has in its possession the evidence, notarized and all, that this was in fact Friesner himself, but they just never looked at it. To add insult to injury, the payasos at the fiscalia 8 are unaware that their own public ministry is handling two criminal cases against Friesner; one for mortgage fraud and one with the financial crimes unit for his shenanigans with Pronto Cash. The public ministry in Panama; a madhouse filled with ignorants whose left hands don’t know what the right hands are doing – on those rare occasions that they’re doing anything at all, that is.
The judge apparently smelled that something was off here, and decided not to rule immediately but have a look at the file first. The term for him to take a decision is 30 days, although I was assured that “sometimes it takes longer”. And then? Well, we’ll either be victorious or we will appeal, so that everybody can waste more time and resources on this idiotic case.
