IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM PANAMA - GAMBLERS UNITE

[TOW]

Good morning everyone.

The ones of you that have been reading the updates of my second mission to Panama on TheOffshoreWire are aware that albeit everything is in place for the Bond to be disbursed the current Minister of Finance Mr Norberto Delgado is unlawfully blocking the procedures.

As I will be visting Ms Moscoso, the President of the Republic of Panama later this morning I invite all players, even the ones not effected by this situation to copy/paste the hereunder text and send it to Ms Moscoso :

*****************************

Dear Ms Moscoso,

I have come to learn that some honest people are being denied their hard earned money that should be made available to them by disbursing a bond in the hands of Panama’s Junta de Juegos that guarantees funds of the failed Company trading as Betpanam out of Panama City , Panama.

The players’ representative Mr Roberto Castiglioni is reporting from Panama City that the Minister of Finance Mr. Norberto Delgado, in his capacity of President of the Gaming Board, has signed the documents that allow such bonded funds to be distributed back in March 2004. However Mr. Castiglioni is also reporting that due to political pressure this action has not taken place yet.

Dear Ms Moscoso, we write to You urging to have the law respected and these people paid.

Respectfully,

( Your signature )



Please send this text to the following email adresses :

ofasin@presidencia.gob.pa

admin@theoffshorewire.com

REMEMBER : ALL PLAYERS SHOULD UNITE IN THIS EFFORT TO HAVE THE LAW ENFORCED. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN ALL WEEK NOW AND WILL NOT LEAVE PANAMA UNTIL I WILL BE SURE THAT THE BOND WILL BE DISBURSED.

I INVITE FORUM OWNERS AND MODS TO ALSO GIVE MAXIMUM VISIBILITY TO THIS POST AND PROMOTE THIS ACTION. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON BEHALF OF 74 PLAYERS OWED 453.000 DOLLARS.

DON’T TURN YOUR HEAD THE OTHER WAY AND RELY ON OTHERS TO FO IT. TODAY ITS THEM, TOMORROW IT COULD BE YOU.

Excellent Guys,

The first emails are coming through. Please continue to send emails. ALL players should.

As I side note.....some nice people down here have approached me last night letting me know that I might "face problems hiding behind any corner". I have told them that it might be true, but it is also true that they have already met their problems and will not get away with it until every one is paid.

KEEP ON SENDING MAILS GUYS, I'LL BE OVER AT THE PRESIDENCY IN ONE HOUR FROM NOW.

What could we expect, the government is a lame duck administration with another party's candidate recently elected. Unfortunately at times like this rational things don't get done and stalling and outright dereliction of duty aren't unusual. Those still in power are just jockeying for money and a good position once they are out of office and I wouldn't be one bit surprised if this MOF ends up working somehow for one of the investors in Betpanam.

Does anyone know when the new administration officially takes office?

Mods, why not make this post sticky and bold?

05/03 - Afternoon update
Further to this morning's meeting a shareholders meeting intended to come to a final decision on how to solve the situation has been scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, late morning.
In the mean time TOW has been informed that current Betpanam's management has received notice of termination from the Owners. This shall come into effect within the next two weeks.
This information leads TOW to believe that ownership will most likely suspend the operation pending finalization of outstanding issues. This decision could only be read as an act of clarity as it is still puzzling why the operation has kept accepting postup funds when it is obvious that Betpanam was insolvent , unless a cash injection would be made available.
