Continued SC Lies, This Must End!

TO: THE VE Community,
I apologize, but I cannot sit down and idly accept this report as it relates to continual character assassination of me and my business; many of you will not care about my long winded response and I apologize, but I must defend myself.
THIS SELF APPOINTED SC HAS ONCE AGAIN DIRECTLY LIED TO YOU IN THEIR REPORT THEY PUT OUT. . BELOW ARE MY RESPONSES TO THE ABSOLUTE LIES IN TWO SECTIONS OF THE REPORT.   I WILL BE PRESENTING THIS REPORT TO THE PROSECUTOR AS PART OF MY ONGOING CRIMINAL CASE AGAINST CURRENT AND FORMER SC MEMBERS. THEY ARE MAKING / STATING THESE LIES AS REPRESENTATIVES OF YOU THE HOA.
I HAVE RESPONDED TO TWO SECTION'S OF THE REPORT IN CAP'S  AND BLUE.

WHY AM I BRINGING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION?  BECAUSE IT IS CRUCIAL YOU HAVE UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR MALICIOUS LIES AND THEY WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO DO IT TO ANYONE AND THIS IS WHY THE VEHOA IS SPENDING SO MUCH IN LEGAL FEES. 

SECURITY
While working on the Government mandated minimum wage increase the SC discovered that Boquete Consulting Services (BCS) the company providing the security for VE, and more than half owned by the developer, did not have a license from the Panamanian Government Agency MINSEG/DIASP to operate as a security company. There are requirements required by the government that were not being performed. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE LIE. BCS HAD THE APPROPRIATE REQUIRED LICENSE TO PROVIDE THE SECURITY SERVICES IT DID FOR THE VEHOA AS IT STILL DOES  FOR THE RESORT AND OTHER CLIENTS. For example, in order for a guard to carry firearms he must have firearms training, must have drug testing, and have psychological evaluations. BCS GUARDS WORKING FOR THE VEHOA HAD THE FIREARMS TRAINING, THE FIREARMS CERTIFICATION AS REQUIRED UNDER PANAMANIAN LAW ADMINISTERED BY LICENSED PANAMANIAN INSTRUCTORS, THE REQUIRED DRUG TESTS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS AS REQUIRED.  In addition MINSEG/DIASP requires that the Director of Security of Operations for a business selling security services must be a Panamanian Citizen which BCS’s Director Ralf Henrich is not. COMPLETE LIE. I DARE YOU TO SIGN YOUR NAMES TO THE CLAIM THAT I SOMEHOW AM VIOLATING PANAMANIAN LAW AS THE DIRECTOR OF SECURITY OPERATIONS FOR BOQUETE CONSULTING SECURITY, LLC.  The SC concluded that BCS was not a security company, ONCE AGAIN THE SC “CONCLUDED’ AND AS A RESULT BCS FILED A SEQUESTER CLAIM FOR PAYMENTS DUE AND I HAVE FILED CRIMINAL CHARGES OF SLANDER AGAINST SC MEMBERS and therefore had not met the provisions of the contract. The SC decided to cancel the contract and refused to pay BCS for future services. THIS WAS DONE IN COMPLETE VIOLATION OF PANAMANIAN LAW AND TOTALLY AGAINST THE LEGAL ADVICE OF THE VEHOA ATTORNEY. I URGE THE SC TO PRESENT TO THE HOMEOWNERS THE WRITTEN LEGAL OPINION FROM THE VEHOA ATTORNEY AT THE TIME SUPPORTING YOUR CONCLUSION. BCS continued to provide gate keeping vigilante services without receiving monthly payments. BCS sued and got a court order to sequester the HOA bank account in the amount of approximately $25,000. BCS NEVER SUED THE VEHOA;  THE SC REFUSED TO CALL FOR ARBITRATION AS THE CONTRACT CLEARLY SPECIFIED MUST BE DONE FIRST AFTER NOTIFYING THE OTHER PARTY OF THE REASONS FOR “NON-PERFORMANCE. SC After four and one half months of negotiations an agreement was reached whereby the HOA would pay BCS $65,000 and the contract would be canceled. The four and one half months that BCS had provided security service at their existing monthly rate without compensation was worth $50,000. The other $15,000 paid to BCS was for canceling the contract. WHY  DID YOU PAY BCS A LARGE BONUS IF THE SC “CONCLUDED” BCS WAS IN VIOLATION?   ALSO, WHY PAY BCS THE FULL AMOUNT DUE IN ADDITION TO THE BONUS IF BCS WAS GROSSLY OVERCHARGING FOR THE MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE AS THE SC CLAIMED FOR MONTHS.?   Since the cancellation, the SC has contracted with a licensed security company whose guards meet the government requirements. The monthly cost of this licensed security company is approximately $2,500 LESS than the amount paid to BCS.  COMPLETE DEFLECTION FROM THE TRUTH. BCS’S CONTRACT WAS ACCEPTED AS A RESULT OF A BID. THE REQUIREMENTS OF THAT BID WERE DETERMINED BY THE SECURITY SUB-COMMITTEE AND MR. BILL DAY, WHO NEGOTIATED THE ENTIRE 2 YEAR CONTRACT WITH BCS,  ITEMS BCS HAD TO PROVIDE AS PART OF OUR SCOPE OF SERVICES INCLUDED:
-BCS WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING A LEVEL II ENGLISH SPEAKING GUARD AS PART OF THE STAFF (BILL DAY ACTUALLY WANTED THREE ENGLISH SPEAKING GUARDS SO ALL SHIFTS WOULD BE COVERED BUT AGREED TO ONLY 1 WHEN HE REALIZED HOW EXPENSIVE THIS WAS). BCS HAD TWO ENGLISH SPEAKING GUARDS ON DUTY, LISA AND RAFAEL. (ASK THE SC HOW MANY ENGLISH SPEAKING GUARDS BLASCO HAS)  I HEAR ZERO!
- BCS WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR HAVING AN ENGLISH SPEAKING SUPERVISOR AVAILABLE 24HRS A DAY FOR VE RESIDENTS AND SC TO COMMUNICATE WITH IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES AND TO GIVE INSTRUCTION TO (ASK THE SC WHICH ENGLISH SPEAKING RESIDENTS CAN CALL AT BLASCO.?  ASK THE SC HOW THEY COMMUNICATE WITH BLASCO?)
-BCS WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING TWO PATROL VEHICLES (GOLF CARTS) WITH ALL FUEL, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIR COSTS OUR RESPONSIBILITY
*  ASK THE SC WHO PAID FOR THE GOLF CART BLASCO CURRENTLY USES?
* ASK THE SC WHO PAYS FOR THE FUEL AND MAINTENANCE OF THAT GOLF CART?  
*ASK THE SC HOW BLASCO CAN PATROL OR RESPOND TO EMERGENCIES WHEN THAT GOLF CART IS OUT OF SERVICE DUE TO A MECHANICAL ISSUE WHICH HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES ALREADY.?
* ASK THE SC WHO IS LIABLE WHEN A BLASCO EMPLOYEE GETS INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH A GOLF CART OWNED BY THE VEHOA?
* ASK THE SC WHO WILL PAY FOR THE GOLF CART WHEN IT IS WRECKED BY A BLASCO GUARD.?  (FYI, BCS HAS LOST TWO GOLF CARTS ALREADY BECAUSE THEY WERE TOTALLED IN ACCIDENTS.)
* ASK THE SC WHY THEY WOULD USE A VERY LOUD GAS GOLF CART AT NIGHT WAKING UP RESIDENTS AND NOTIFYING ANY POTENTIAL CRIMINALS AS THE WHEREABOUTS OF SECURITY?  ( FYI, BCS HAD A QUIET ELECTRIC GOLF CART FOR NIGHT PATROL)
 * BCS GUARDS WERE REQUIRED TO RECEIVE SPECIALIZED TRAINING IN  “CDT”. CDT is a soft handed Control/restraint system designed for real world situations to physically control or disarm a hostile Aggressor, and keep him in compliance until completely restrained or until help arrives.”(ASK THE SC WHAT SPECIALIZED TRAINING THE BLASCO GUARDS HAVE) 
* BCS WAS REQUIRED TO HAVE AN ONSITE OFFICE FOR RESIDENTS AND GUESTS TO INTERACT WITH. WE NEEDED TO RENT THIS SPACE FROM TADASLY. (ASK THE SC WHAT OFFICE BLASCO IS PROVIDING)
* BCS WAS REQUIRED TO WRITE WEEKLY REPORTS TO THE VEHOA ON NOT ONLY SECURITY ISSUES BUT ALSO REPORT ON VEHOA INFRASTRUCTURE AND HOMEOWNER PROPERTY REPORTS (ASK THE SC FOR A COPY OF THE WEEKLY BLASCO REPORTS) 
* BCS WAS REQUIRED TO HANDLE ALL THE ONSITE SECURITY MANAGEMENT INCLUDING INTERACTING WITH THE VE RESIDENTS. (ASK THE SC WHO RESIDENTS ARE NOTIFYING IF THEY ARE GOING AWAY. ASK THE SC WHO ON THE SC HAS A SECURITY BACKGROUND TO DETERMINE THE SECURITY NEEDS OF A MIXED USE PROJECT LIKE VE) 
* ASK THE SC FOR THE BID SPECIFICATIONS THAT WENT OUT FOR WHICH BLASCO RESPONDED TO.
* ASK THE SC HOW MANY DIFFERENT SECURITY COMPANIES WERE SOLICITED FOR THEIR BIDS.
* ASK THE SC IF THEY ASKED THE VE SECURITY SUN-COMMITTEE FOR THEIR INPUT.
* ASK THE SC IF THEY CHECKED THE FINANCIAL HEALTH OF THE SECURITY PROVIDER.
* ASK THE SC HOW MANY BREAK INS OCCURRED AT OTHER DEVELOPMENTS BLASCO PROVIDED SECURITY FOR. 
WHY AM I WRITING YOU THIS? PARTIALLY SELFISH BUT PRIMARILY TO SET THE FACTS STRAIGHT, THIS SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE HAVE ATTEMPTED AND STILL CONTINUE TO ATTEMPT TO DESTROY MY CHARACTER AND GOOD NAME WITH UNABATED SLANDEROUS LIES. THIS REPORT THEY PUT OUT IS A CONTINUATION OF MORE LIES AND SLANDER AGAINST ME, BCS AND SADLY YOU ARE THE RECIPIENT OWNERS OF THEIRS LIES AND ACTIONS.
 I ALREADY HAVE VERY SERIOUS CRIMINAL CHARGES FILED AGAINST CURRENT AND FORMER SC MEMBERS AND THIS NEWEST PROPAGANDA PIECE  IS FULL OF COMPLETE LIES WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE PROSECUTOR AS FURTHER EVIDENCE. 
THEY WANT EACH OF YOU TO PAY FOR THEIR LEGAL MESS CAUSED BY THEIR VINDICTIVE SLANDERS. THAT'S WHY THEY WANT TO STAY IN CONTROL OF YOUR MONEY.
PLEASE ASK THE SC TO SIGN THEIR PERSONAL NAMES TO THEIR 9 PAGE REPORT; THEIR REFUSAL SHOULD SPEAK VOLUMES TO THE VE HOMEOWNERS AS TO THE ACCURACY OF THIS REPORT.
MORE HERE...............
" The attorney for the HOA at that time was Julio Brown. The $65,000 was placed in his escrow account. As part of the agreement, BCS was required to have this sequester removed. Julio Brown was instructed not to release all of the funds to BCS until this sequester was lifted. This he did not do. He gave BCS all of the funds. To this date this sequester has not been removed. The SC is pursuing every legal method to get this sequester lifted and have the funds returned to the HOA. The savings on the security contract plus the recovery of the sequestered funds will provide over $50,000 INTERESTING HOW THIS SC IS CLAIMING A REFUND AS SAVINGS that can be used on road repairs, booster pump, and blower unit for the concrete WWTP, and the purchase of a spare electrical transformer.
JULIO BROWN
"Julio Brown became the attorney for VEHOA when Richard Charbit became president of the SC. Richard Charbit was legally elected to the SC because there were only enough candidates to fill the vacant positions. The new SC voted to name Richard Charbit president of the SC. Richard convinced the other members of the SC that their existing attorney from Panama City was too expensive. Richard proposed that the Panama City attorney be replaced by a local Boquete attorney named Julio Brown. The SC agreed to make this change. This all happened before Richard’s past criminal issues became known." 
  THIS IS A COMPLETE LIE! I PROVIDED EVERY SINGLE SC MEMBER AND THEIR ADVISERS WITH THE EVIDENCE OF RICHARD CHARBIT’S PAST EXACTLY ONE WEEK FROM WHEN HE BECAME SC CHAIRMAN. THEY ARE ALL LIARS!  I EVEN WENT TO THE LOVELESS’S HOUSE TO WARN THEM AND IT WAS TURNED AROUND BY ALL THE SC/LOVELESS THAT I THREATENED THEM.  MANY RESIDENTS CALLED ON THE SC TO COME CLEAN FOR MONTHS. THEY REFUSED OVER AND OVER FOR MONTHS.  THIS JUST SHOWS HOW SICK AND DELUSIONAL ALL OF THIS GROUP IS AND WHY THEY ARE NOT FIT TO SERVE.  
THEY ALL MADE A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO KEEP THE TRUTH FROM THE HOMEOWNERS AND THEN WENT ON A CAMPAIGN TO DESTROY ME, MY CREDIBILITY AND MY COMPANY. ALL BECAUSE I WARNED THEM, AND AS MANY RESIDENTS THAT WOULD LISTEN, THAT THEY  NEEDED TO TELL YOU THE HOMEOWNERS THE TRUTH.
HOMEOWNERS PLEASE ASK THE SC WHY THEY PAID JULIO BROWN TO TRY AND GET A RETRAINING ORDER AGAINST ME BASED UPON LIES.
 ASK THEM HOW MUCH OF VEHOA FUNDS WERE USED TO TRY AND GET THIS RESTRAINING ORDER.
 THEY CLAIM THEY NEVER AUTHORIZED JAVIER TO GIVE JULIO A POA BUT AS PART OF THE EVIDENCE IN THEIR FAILED ATTEMPT TO TRY AND GET A RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST ME THERE IS A POA FROM JAVIER TO JULIO IN MY FILE.
* ASK THE SC IF THERE EVER WAS ANY RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST ME?
* ASK THEM WHY THEY LIED IN NUMEROUS EMAILS AND VEHOA BLOG POST'S?
* ASK THEM WHY THEY LIED WHEN THEY ALL CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT GO TO A SECURITY MEETING I HELD, WHERE I PRESENTED PROOFS OF THE CRIMINAL FACTS AS WELL AS COPIES OF ALL BCS’S PERMITS AND LICENSES, BECAUSE OF A LIE ABOUT A RESTRAINING ORDER. THERE NEVER WAS ANY RESTRAINING ORDER AND THEY KNEW IT!
* ASK CAROL BRUNER DIRECTLY WHY SHE LIED IN EMAILS AND ON BLOGS SAYING THAT THE CORREDURIA DROVE FROM DAVID TO BOQUETE TO SERVE ME A RESTRAINING ORDER?  NEVER EVER HAPPENED!
* ASK CAROL BRUNER WHEN SHE WILL BE BACK IN BOQUETE SO SHE CAN BE LEGALLY SERVED ON HER CRIMINAL CHARGES AND THE RESTRAINING ORDER THE COURTS GAVE PROTECTING ME FROM HER.
* ASK JEANNIE BELL WHY SHE LIED TO THE HOMEOWNERS STATING THAT I HAD NO EXPERIENCE OR TRAINING IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AT ALL.
.* ASK HER IF THERE IS A CRIMINAL CASE AGAINST HER FOR THESE LIES?
* ASK HER TO PUBLICLY STATE  THEM AGAIN HERE AND SIGN HER NAME TO THEM IF THEY ARE TRUE.
I AM SORRY TO WRITE THIS, BUT I HAVE HAD IT WITH THE SLANDEROUS ATTACKS WHICH CAUSE DISTRESS TO ME AND MY FAMILY.  IF I DO NOT DEFEND MY NAME WHO WILL.  
I WILL BE IN VALLE ESCONDIDO JANUARY 2ND, I WILL OFFER THIS SELF APPOINTED GROUP ONE MORE CHANCE TO MEET ME IN PERSON AT 11AM JANUARY 10TH BEFORE THE GA MEETING AND LETS FIND OUT WHO THE LIARS ARE.
THE QUESTION YOU MUST EACH ASK, WHO WOULD WANT THIS GROUP TO SERVE THIS COMMUNITY IN ANY CAPACITY.? THEY CANNOT TELL THE TRUTH! IF THEY CAN, FACE ME AND EACH OF YOU AND SHOW ME I AM LYING. OR GO AWAY AND LEAVE THIS COMMUNITY ALONE FOR GOOD!    ENOUGH SAID!
THANKS TO ALL THE MAJORITY OWNERS WHO SUPPORT ME THROUGH ALL OF THIS, I AM SORRY TO BE LONG WINDED AND SO UPSET. BUT I WAS NOT GOING TO LEAVE 2014 WITHOUT GETTING THESE LIES CORRECTED.

BCS DIRECTOR

Happy New Year Neighbors!

I am responding to this lonnnnnng drawn out rebuttal letter from Mr. Henrich to the SC, for what appears to be from excerpts from their 9 page report.
It dawned on me after reading this, the one from Mr. Sherrard and other owners, has this band of SC ever admitted they were wrong on anything? It seems they are always defensive but never apologetic.

I say, they sit down in an open forum with any of us owners wishing to attend, with Mr. Henrich and either prove their claims against him and if they will not, then finally admit they are wrong deal with the consequences of their actions. (part of this is no longer representing VE.)
Enough damage has been done and they clearly are to blame, since their failure to appear and validate their claims against BCS & Henrich. They really have damaged this Man as evident by his commentary. SC,appear and validate or step down, nothing more, nothing less! I fail to see any savings if this is all true. My Apologies, Mr. Henrich , our group of owners can do better than this in 2015.

A New Owner

Bravo Ralf, you need to stand up and be heard against these slanderous attacks by this group of sad excuses for human beings. They, and they alone, have destroyed the beauty and well being of the majority of VE residents who have chosen to make this beautiful valley their home. They need to crawl back to wherever they came from and leave the rest of us to, once again, enjoy restored peace and tranquility in our little bit of "paradise."

Ms. Suzi, you are right. I am an Part time Panamanian owner and I agree with you 100% what you said here

"You will not accomplish anything by trying to create a new board but you might be able to accomplish something if you solve your problems by putting the personalities out of the picture."

I am all for this new SC to go forward with fresh faces, new personalities....start over, no more fighting and bickering.

Yes, another vote for an owner who understands change.

Thank you Ms. Suzi Arkebauer.
