Another Ex-Pat getting screwed story- this time in Pedasi

So after a long bout with bronchitis, I check the old INBOX, and see that PNO.com was contacted by a gentleman named Gustavo who is an American citizen that was looking for some land to retire in in Panama. (Sound familiar?)

He said he read the article we ran a few months back and was awaiting to hear the follow up with an independent investigator that worked specifically on Latin and Central American land schemes. Please feel free to go back in the archives to read the interview with “Big Anthony”.  Interestingly enough, I have not been able to have that follow up as Anthony has been working on a case and was not been afforded the time to sit down. I offered a Skype interview, but he insists on a personal sit down.

So Gustavo stated he was told of a lovely ocean view condo that turned out to be a boiling crock of shit. This despite all the seemingly required and verified papers from both the developers and the real estate people promoting the sale.

My Ex-Pat pal “Buddy” and I are planning to meet when he arrives in Panama next week and see if it has all the same smells and indicators of the same deal that “Buddy” himself took on this chin in Bocas del Toro.

Very anxious to jump on this as I have always felt that Ex-Pats are what promote and bring so much commerce to Panama, yet far more than often they are just suckers awaiting to be poached, with no REAL way to assure protection.

Stay tuned-

Saludos

Hey “Bocas Brigade” and COA,,,,,what is the news swirling around down there?

Always anxious to receive new meetings, calls, and updates of the circus that surrouds that beautiful area. How are the Ex-Pats and US land owners being treated?   Interested parties want to know.

More shenanigans coming in as I type for the “Bocas Brigade”. Panama’s Novela

As soon as I vet some more of the people contacting me —“NOW” after all the rancor my family has already suffered, more to come about our friendly neighborhood group of criminals in Bocas. Amazing in looking back, I was told a banker, tennis pro, and chiropractor were the “bad …
