Cariño: Joke Joke Volante
By Linda Grace Cariño
Paradigm Shift
MR. JOKE Joke Volante wouldn’t be in the situation he is in now if he had read the following books. “The Firm” by who else? John Grisham “The Takeover” by Stephen Fry and a host of other books too numerous to mention. Or maybe if he watched television shows like “Spooks” or “CSI”.
Why these books? And why these shows? Because they teach any reader how to stash away money, how to launder these monies, and how to get new identities. These books teach would be absconders how to do all of these naughty things without even making an appearance. All these nefarious doings without even going to a bank. All these can
be done on the internet, on the faceless computer. These TV shows teach readers what to do to avoid any sort of capture.
From the onset, Mr. Joke Joke Volante should have had a false passport made, (and his own country is indeed known as the world capital for excellent forged passports) a new identity with matching deep cover background with false family, job, birth certificate and all other etcs. as in the witness protection deal.
Next, he should have had all monies which he made off with deposited in the lots of places. Hadn?t he ever heard of the Bahamas? The Caymans? Zurich? Or maybe even Monaco? All these, under of course, his fake passport and identity. Then he should have backed himself with a small legitimate business in one of these small states with a good and large foreign community and |et voila| disappeared from the face of the earth.
But no, he does away with, take note, 700 million local currency. This translates into approximately 12 million USD. Even if he divides this with his purported bosses, that is still 6million USD a piece for them. And then the supreme dumb thing. What does he do? He uses his own passport, takes this cash to the U S of A and deposits it under his own sweet name. Then he runs and claims political asylum in the U S of A. Maybe it should be insane asylum?
And now he has Harry ?the Rock? Hudson, hot on his trail. Harry the Rock is determined to bring him back to the country of origin. Let us see how Harry the Rock will make out. I truly know Harry the Rock, and he really is a tenacious and excellent legal mind. I wonder who will win this round? Will Harry the Rock get him back into the country of origin? Will the US of A grant him insane asylum? Watch out for the next episode.
The moral story of this tale? Read, read and read.
