As a victim of a crime in Panama, you're pretty much screwed. You're even more screwed if expats help the criminals get away. Welcome to Taboga. Meet Cynthia Mulder, of the Cerrito Tropical Bed & Breakfast.

Legisladron Alcibiades Vásquez Velásquez revives a law proposal to stop none less than the DEVIL himself from winning the hearts and minds of our youth through Halloween parties in the schools.
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.
