In regards to the comments I am seeing here – let’s keep our eye on the ball. “Liberty Reserve” manipulated people, institutions, and governments to operate a money laundering operation across the globe for years. There are thousands of “victims” that were not involved in criminal activities – they were just conducting business. We have been contacted by thousands of individuals that lost significant amounts of money in the Liberty Reserve shutdown. We have seen people, like the woman that agreed to marry Budovsky for citizenship, also affected by events. There will be more information forthcoming and many will be shocked at how deep this “rabbit hole” goes. Perhaps we can keep focus on the ones that created the damage and demonstrate a little empathy towards those that were victimized.

Once again, Costa Rica is in the news for something internet based. I don’t know the full story, but it is like BoS in 2006 all over again.

This is old story..Arranged marriage for money to gain citizenship here in CR and other counties. The women says she is worried ? Go figure she broke the law, however, she will be seen as the victim. Will Arthur Budovsky loose his citizenship here in CR??? Hummm I wonder.
