Translation of the communication
from “LEVC”

Because of the confusing verbiage in this message and the profound command of the English language by the writer, I am providing you with a translation of this deeply moving message, which is peppered with new facts and obviously composed to relieve us from any undue worries we may have had over the past 18 months.


Editor's note:
The Black type (highlited) is from the Enrique Letter - the Red are Hank's comments.


 


Dear Hank,

Hello my dear Investor-Friend Hank,

You have been very vocal with your opinion about my business. I would like you to have a copy of the communication you and many of your friends have requested.

I have been reading all of your writings about me. In the beginning, when you supported and believed in me, I remained silent and kept you and my other Investor-Friends guessing desperately while I was busy safeguarding your monies to the extreme, assuring that no one, including my Investor-Friends, could get to it.

My brother Osvaldo announced back in December that he received a communiqué from me. He let it be known that he wanted all investors to know about this and promised to release this no later than December 6th.

Because of the self-serving and selfish content of this message, he was advised not to do this.

You insisted that he should. So now I cave in and come humbly before my Investor-Friends with news breaking and earth shattering tidings!


Eighteen months have passed, nearly two years, since my brother, my family and I became objects of one of the greatest judicial and police runnings-over to ever happen in this country, which has prejudiced us for life and produced severe damages to our patrimony and that of hundreds of creditors who with confidence loaned me their monies and to whom I paid punctually their capital and interest, honoring my word.


For eighteen months now, which is the exact same as one-and-a-half years, Osvaldo, my family and myself have been harassed by the evil authorities.

Like all of the other High Yield businesses that have come and gone before us, we shut the doors after the heavy hand of these authorities became unbearable. The sufferings of my brother, my family and myself are truly hurting me first and foremost. Our family’s reputation has been tarnished forever and irreparable damage has been done to us.

Oh yea, there’s also a few hundred Investor-Friends who may be in the dog house as well…the other thousands are of no consequence or I would have mentioned them.

At the end of nearly two years, there is still no formal accusation by the Attorney General’s office, while all the effects of the running-over are still being produced and are deepening.

As is customary in the judicial world of Costa Rica, we are still in the initial phase of the Prosecutor’s investigation and because I ran like a White Wittle Wabbit, the fall-out of my non-actions are starting to increase to a significant magnitude.

Because I am not a criminal but an innocent god fearing and honest businessman with nothing to hide, I am hiding.


I am absolutely sure, because I know who I am and I know the values I defend and because I believe deeply in God, Who has given me of His immense strength, that we will emerge well free of this bitter episode, behind which spurious interests are hidden.

To the contrary of what I stated two paragraphs ago, I believe that praying and believing will fix everything that I just deemed irreparable…


I come once again to reaffirm to my creditors that I firmly maintain the will to pay my debts, in the moment that conditions so permit. This in spite of the stories and threats against my brother and family members, all unjust, which are woven including on the internet, this last medium in which rumors, lies and fantastic novels are constantly fabricated.


Even though I have managed to move close to two millions dollars for myself last year, I cannot seem to find a way to do the same for my Investor Friends. Even though not one single threat has been made on the Internet against my brother or my family, I am telling you that this has happened. Please accept this fact from me; a Global Business Entrepreneur whose technology was limited to a single fax machine at the Mall Office. Please note that once again I am expressing how worried I am about my brother and how very much concerned I remain for the members of my family!

Those who irresponsibly treat me as a perpetrator of fraud are quite mistaken because you, my creditors, are the best witnesses that I have never been that, nor will I ever be.

All authority is evil. Even though my Investor-Friends have not heard from me since 2002 and wonder if there is any money left at all, they will vouch for my untarnished record…

Except of course for the six hundred or so who filed fraud charges against me and who refuse to withdraw these, even after considerable efforts by those that my brother and I have consistently failed to acknowledge. Oh, and the ones who are unable to witness on my behalf because they have passed on from this earth or have fallen off the radar because they were forced to live with their kids and all the other broke souls who have simply vanished…

If until today I have been unable to pay, it has not been because I lack the desire to do so, rather because I haven’t been able to, nor have they let me do so, since the police and the courts have immobilized my resources, denigrated my honor in the national and international banking systems, and have made me enter into an involuntary cessation of payments.

I have been paying my lawyers like clockwork. My brother Osvaldo has greased some palms to exchange his prison cell for a hospital room and has now put bodyguards on his payroll. I managed to sell my whirly birds for a million and a half and sold my offices at Mall San Pedro. I have moved funds, deposited and withdrawn amounts for my own benefit and had to resort to Comet to scrub all the green from my hands.

Your money is not safe and it is certainly is not working. I have been unable to do anything with it because police and courts have immobilized my resources. Even though Hugh Heffner or O.J. Simpson can open accounts anywhere on this planet, I am pretending that I cannot do this. I would fail the “Honor and Moral Exam” required when opening a checking account.


I understand that in a State of Law we are all subject to investigation by competent authorities, but this does not authorize anyone to fabricate stereotypes, nor spectacles before the press, nor to stamp us with light and capricious qualifiers as some have irresponsibly endorsed us, and who will be evidenced as false before the Justice Tribunals.


I can run ads in La Nacion and the Tico Times announcing all kinds of stuff and promising that I will communicate with my friends and lenders. Whatever anybody else writes about me is to be considered incorrect.


To all those who have offended and denigrated us without knowing us, to those who have been behind this malintentioned conspiracy, to those who motivated my leaving the country in the face of threats received, to those who have lent themselves to do us damage in the deepest part of our beings, to all I say, that I have repeatedly asked God that He give me the wisdom of forgiveness.


I was not done whining about my clan and myself yet. My family and I are hurt deeply; I mentioned this in two previous paragraphs but thought it high time to remind you of this once again.


I thank all the creditors who have demonstrated their solidarity and who continue with confidence in me, with or without lawyers, because they know I never failed them, those who know my case is not comparable to others, and that, far from twisting things around, give me the opportunity to reiterate my will to pay my debts when conditions so permit.


This is all the thanks that UCCR is going to get while I let them know that lawyers are not necessary. Hank and his friends finally made me commit to this show of gratitude. Without their insistence and putting my feetsies to the fire, I would have remained silent.

They were told repeatedly and without end that any communication from me would put yours truly and the Big Pile of Money at risk. Last Wednesday I decided that this was incorrect, I suppose… Apparently I CAN communicate without getting in Harm’s Way, imagine that!


I make clear in closing that the only one able to cancel and negotiate the payment of debts I maintain with my creditors is me and no one else, since I was the person who received the loans, therefore I am the only one legally and morally responsible for the payment of the debts when circumstances so determine. My creditors know that in the past they never needed an attorney for me to pay them.


I am a one-man show. Osvaldo’s presence was merely for decoration. If something happens to me, you are all utterly and totally up Rio Mierda. I will decide if, when and how much you might get back. Remember, no promises here, just my whim.

Again, lawyers are useless.


With confidence in God and faith in the truth and justice, Psalm 70


For the director of music. Of David. A petition.

1 Hasten, O God, to save me; O LORD , come quickly to help me.
2 May those who seek my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
3 May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" turn back because of their shame.
4 But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation always say, "Let God be exalted!"

5 Yet I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD , do not delay.


Luis Enrique Villalobos

The guy pretending to be Enrique, doing an immense disservice to those who have suffered firsthand, to whom “moral pain” is something they would gladly take on in exchange for decent closure.

--

I dedicate this to those who have died during this ordeal, those who have seen their lives change drastically and forever. To those who have been abandoned by someone they considered their friend, to those who have lost more than just money, to those who have seen their life savings put well beyond their reach because their time has run out.

To those who wish they had some helicopters to sell so they can repair themselves instead of having to depend on the kindness of their children, to those who saw their lives and careers interrupted because they succumbed to greed at the hands of a skilled manipulator.

To those whose numbers exceed moral comprehension, to those who deserve better than this…



Hank
