Well how old are you??????? Consequently, I am not on meds and do enjoy including humor, satire and quotes from various movies in my post.

CG, that is one of my styles of writing and no sarcasm or lunacy is meant.

I am a very well educated man, who has paid his dues in life. I just like to have fun when I write.

If you think any post I have made to you is incoherent, please send me a private mail? I will be more than happy to decipher my hieroglyphics or phrases in question to any intellectual level you desire.

Your response was very condescending in terms of my age and to what medications I am on.

Truthfully, I am very surprised that a lady of your caliber, would resort to that type of verbage on my person or writing skills. It would have been more humane to just send me an email in regards to your questions. I think you methodology as to handling a matter of this nature extremely inappropriate for the both of us.

In closing, I will refrain from posting any further responses to you in the future.

Character Speaks For It's Self,

I read at SM that he has 3 lead attorneys, but 1 is going on vacation and another lawyer will fill in for him. There are 5 more on stand by.

Someone on TV (Mark Furhman?) said that was to make them unavailable to anyone else.

That adds up. Three leads, plus one fill in lead, plus 5 on standby equals 9 total. The 5 on standby sounds like what Furhman said about hiring attorneys to keep the other side from using them.

"Did not the Mansurs start a race track in Aruba?"

Not a TB horse racing track. There are a couple of items if you google "race track Aruba" that shows an island-wide strike with electrical power and water outages in 1999 by unions to protest environmental damage if a race track at Seroe Colorado for car racing is built. There is a 2000 article that says Jossy Mansur's car track at Seroe Colorado will open soon, but I'm not certain if it's real or virtual (just a betting parlor.)

Thanks for that reminder, Krodg. I seem to recall Anita saying that about Joran having counseling in the interview with Greta at the VDS home. Do I have the correct interview?

"I just like to have fun when I write."

You're not alone.

The only thing I can do better than anybody else is to read my own posts, i think. :)

Love your post, NSNR. Please don't stop the presses.

Thanks for the confirmation about Posner being the Chicago Posner and the casino Posner. Do you have any other info on Posner? Can you confirm or deny any of the other rumored info I posted in post 2290?

Interesting that your source says JVDS probably did not have a line of credit at the HI casino.

Just some random thoughts and questions:
JVDS was gambling there anyway on someone's money. How does a 17 year old afford to do the gambling and partying he seemed to do?
I've never heard of Joran having a job.

Where does the Van der Sloot family get the money to drink, gamble, and hire a host of attorneys?
Paulus no longer has a job. How well did his previous job pay? Doesn't seem like it would have made him a fortune. Anita is the only apparent source of income for the family now.

Has Hillary been giving them investment tips?

I don't have any facts, just rumor as pertains to Jurine...but all (or nearly all) the drugs used by the tourists come from the island. Most likely Jurine was a dealer or was paid by a dealer (like Lorenzo) for being a procurer.

The island drug business would be small potatoes for the big time traffickers...so it would only be natural that it would fall to Jurine's level in the food chain. Jurine was a man about town and, with his dad being connected with the law, he was immune from prosecution (even from prosecution for murder apparently).

This island knows (at least everyone but Anita VDS knows) that drugs are part of the economy. They probably don't talk about it...but they know.

"How does a 17 year old afford to do the gambling and partying he seemed to do?"

It appears to be a permissive society, and although i havent had much luck finding the aruban law I am looking for, the legal system is also described as such: The Dutch Criminal Justice System for some time has been famous for its mildness."

I went back and read your "controversial" post. LMAO!

There's nothing wrong with stepping out of character for a post or three.

I think that is the one, but I'm not sure (we need TexKat!!). I think she was saying the dad wasn't around much at the time and she was having a hard time dealing with him. I think she mentioned something about the way he was treating his brother.

Note to anyone finding the transcript...I repeatedly said "I think"...cause I don't know jack sh*t

I urge all Americans, to cancel your tickets and vacations to Aruba.

Agreed. Aruba is a colorless, crude dump run by old time slimeball criminals. A place where Urine is not just the secret to good compost.

If she is on vacation during this mess, she'd better be in Aruba looking for evidence because it's obvious that no one who lives there is...they're all on vacation.

BTW, if someone lives on a vacation island, where do they go for a vacation?

"JVDS was gambling there anyway on someone's money. How does a 17 year old afford to do the gambling and partying he seemed to do?"

That one's pretty simple, but too obvious....I didn't even think of it until I read your question, though:

Losers cash money taken in at casinos is all the same.....by that I mean those legitimate tourist gamblers as well as the cash of those who are there to deliberately lose it to the casino to be laundered within the tourists cash.

It is possible, even very likely that joran was allowed to deposit dirty money for laundering through "losses" in the casino(s).

Eureka?

They go to Amsterdam.

It's the only place on Earth that has more debauchery than Aruba. Can't you just see Jansen smoking on a big ole hookah pipe in some cafe there?
