Confessions sits in at a sentencing this week
7 February 2010

For all those who have been asking about the outcome of cousin Peter's criminal case, you find the answer in this week's chapter (95) of "Confessions of a Money Launderer." If you have not read the Confessions series*, I will summarise it for you: Peter was the colourful high-flying Miami lawyer who defrauded the Cuban Government out of $8.8m, and also pled guilty to selling 8 kg. of Cocaine to an individual cooperating with law enforcement. Whilst serving a Federal sentence for these crimes, he was sued by the National Bank of Cuba in US District Court in Miami. His efforts to reinvent himself later as a Hollywood agent resulted in a publicly-traded company with the legendary Stan Lee, with 1000 employees, where he reportedly committed securities fraud. His scheme to obtain a pardon from then-President Clinton resulted in his financial support for Hillary's senatorial campaign, and ultimately, the bold filing of civil suits against the Clintons, when he failed to get what he wanted. He later fled to Brazil, ahead of a looming indictment on securities charges, but was ultimately extradited to the US. several years ago. He has been in legal limbo ever since, under house arrest, awaiting sentencing, having entered a plea of guilty. To find out his fate, go to Confessions' latest chapter.
