“I love it when a plan comes together”. I enjoy every second this POS is in Hot Water,

“JB”s opinion is this guy??????.. is guilty as sin.  But he’s clearly cut some deal to buy his way out of everything.   This is just a show where they attempt to get him on some trumped up BS and his real cases that should be moving are all being dismissed.   There are PeopleLike…

La bolsa se está poniendo más pesada en Bocas. Ashburn Dixon y Rigoberto Serrano ya no son los únicos nombres que figuran en ella. (ESPANOL)

Por James “JB” Bryson A Bocas del Toro nunca le han faltado historias de tierra. Lo que sí le ha faltado, durante muchísimo tiempo, es una historia que se quede dentro de una sola finca, una sola notaría y un solo juzgado en silencio. El expediente que ahora reposa en la Fiscalía —y el que…

The bag is getting heavier in Bocas. Ashburn Dixon and Rigoberto Serrano are no longer the only names listed in it. (ENGLISH)

OP ED: “JB” Bocas del Toro has never lacked stories of land. What it has lacked, for a very long time, is a history that remains within a single farm, a single notary’s office and a single court in silence. The file that now rests in the Prosecutor’s Office – and the one that Anticorruption…

About PNO

My Ten Year Anniversary: Reflections on Professional Growth and Lessons Learned

Welcome to PANAMA NOW ONLINE.
To mark our "10th" YEAR of being a LOUD, CONSISTENT, and RELIABLE source of News, Culture, and Insight for PANAMANIAN EX-PATS, we have expanded our presence considerably.
What started as a "S- - - -Y little blog" as stated by some local fraudsters, has become even more relevant during the past decade.

Our mission is CLEAR. Through trial and error as well as establishing a network of reliable sources, we seek to be THE SOURCE for Due Diligence, Planning, and Up to Date News for INCOMING EX-PATS as well as those already present here.

PANAMA is beautiful, cost effective, filled with culture, and very close in proximity to the UNITED STATES and CANADA. We are consistently listed as one of the most desirable locales on the planet for RETIREMENT options.

However, this opportunity is also ripe with LANDMINES and COMMON MISTAKES that can lead to headaches and financial loss beyond imagination.
PNO- aims to be the guide and shepherd to assist our readers, visitors, and contributors through the issues we have seen occur in time and time again.

We encourage EDITORIAL CONTRIBUTIONS via the site through ( jb@panamanowonline.com ) or via our Instagram Imágenes transparentes PNG, imágenes, fotos INSTAGRAM platform at
"jbpno2026" as a means to open up a myriad of topics for all to comment on.

Thank you for visiting THEN, NOW, and in the FUTURE.

Saludos y Hasta la Proxima Vez
"JB"
