Okie dokie, I will lay this out once to just say it. I HAVE NO DOG IN ANY FIGHT WITH RED FROG BEACH OR ITS OWNERS OR DEVELOPERS! Book it, print it, document it.

That being said, I also NEVER INVESTED WITH BERNARD MADOFF, NEVER BOUGHT STOCK IN ENRON, NEVER PURCHASED WORTHLESS MORTGAGES, NEVER INFLATED PRESCRIPTION DRUGS 3000% OVERNIGHT. That doesn’t mean that I don’t have an interest in those topics, and don’t have empathy for those affected.

I have a Panama blog for and geared towards primarily the Ex-Pat community. I am certainly NOT the first to do so. Panama blogs have been around since Al Gore invented the internet. So I preface what I report with the fact that it is precisely “reporting” that I am doing.

I will additionally state that PNO.com has received no form of a rebuke from anyone at Red Frog Beach, and perhaps that is the way these complaints are dealt with at the corporate level. Perhaps they feel that engaging in this bad opinion of their product is actually legitimizing the claims against them. Well I am stating clearly, that ship has sailed.  The points raised concerning PILLAR PANAMA case against them, people having NO TITLE, deaths occurring in and around their property, LOCAL INTIMIDATION, and the FRAUD of a PARTNER that is listed as Co-Founder on his own LINKED IN page are all 100% accurate.

Maybe these things have changed, maybe improvements have been addressed, …..who knows?  Have those people ever received titles?  Have safety and security issues been addressed by people other than those carrying machetes?  I am not aware.

What I am aware of is that NO editorial piece contributed by an Ex-Pat has elicited more of a outcry response that this piece on Red Frog Beach. The complaints they have are real. And we will continue to post these issues to both allow people to vent, and also educate those like “Rick” before they make a decision that could adversely affect them forever.

After that long post from the reader, I did some homework to see if those swindlers still exist/
ALL TRUE.

For shits and giggles, you can Google RON VAN DEN HEUVEL from Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Then you can see how I got screwed.

These types are everywhere.

For what it’s worth, my sister and her two friends went to Red Frog, and said the area is beautiful, the houses are nice, but she never felt safe at all. Panhandlers, locals, and an overall sketchy vibe.
No real security presence.
Travel with some big dudes if you go.

THINGS TO DO: Panama is making an investment in preserving it’s unique culture.

I’ll quit my nitpicking for a minute and suggest as our contributor Joyce often does, some of the brighter spots of being in Panama. A country rich and diverse is history, it has become the leader of Museums and points of interest to visit in Latin America. I would suggest …

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 …
