Exiled In China
The murder of U.S. Federal prisoner Ralph Steele who was beaten to death at MCC Miami in 1986 in the segregation unit (I was there with others and heard his screams for mercy).  The murderer was a guard named "Williams". Guards then staged a phony suicide. The medical staff personnel assigned there admitted to me that they were aware of the real cause of death.

The Carrier air conditioning scam where a Fortune 500 company was selling thousands of air conditioners to Cuba in violation of federal law/sanctions by routing them first to a Jamaican distributor who then relayed the goods to Cuba without even repacking in new crates.  Yes, I worked for Carrier at the time as their Marketing Manager for Latin America and saw the crates in Jamaica. They made over $5 million a year on these illegal sales.

The American Financial Group of Aventura, Florida scandal that I originally reported in 1996-1998 to FBI Agent Maury Berthon in Miami.  This company, owned and operated by former DoJ and CIA employee (Ed Chism & David Siegel) was laundering millions for diplomats and pols off-shore. When Berthon got close to making arrests he was taken off the case and transferred to New Orleans by the DoJ.  Uncle Sam could not keep the lid on after Canadian investors were swindled out of $43 million and the story finally broke in 2002 in the Miami Herald and Toronto Star.  In reality the DoJ had been allowing AFG  to swindle people for 4 years to hide links between Noriega and top U.S. officials who both used AFG laundromat.  For details see this links:

I worked as an executive vice president for AFG for just one year - long enough to see what they were really doing and reported them to the BBB and the FBI.  I still have tape recordings of my telephone calls with FBI Agent Berthon.  AFG was founded with money gifted to Ed Chism and his wife Teresita Tapia by Noriega. Chism used to work for the Panama Canal Commission and Terry used to be be Noriega's mistress and former chief of security.  In Chism's office I recall seeing a photo of Chism, Noriega, and George Bush Sr. arm in arm drinking cold beers with huge grins on their face. What else did Chism use to get the DoJ to back off.  See this link for the answer:

The murders of Jon Pierre Gonyou, Alain Chalem, Jeff Mertz, and Scotty Galin - all three of whom were involved in the secret off-shore purchase of Enron shares on behalf of corrupt U.S. Senator Tom DeLay and former Vice-President  Dick Cheney who profited more than $500 million from the deal.  Pierre was found in a Beverly Hills hotel dead from an alleged drug overdose. Scotty died in a mysterious plane crash in the Bahamas with singer Aliyah, and Jeff conveniently committed suicide.

For reporting all these crimes, just as a good citizen is told to do, I was targeted for relentless harassment and persecution with one phony charge after another including bribery and a stock fraud in which there are no victims, no dollar amount of loss or gain, and my nine alibi witnesses were never even contacted, much less interviewed by the FBI.  But some of them received threatening phone calls promising "problems" if they tried to help me in any way. The crime allegedly took place in Miami while my passport shows I was in Hong Kong and then my dental records and 5 eyewitnesses in Ohio including the wife of a former Congressman prove I was in Ohio.  For 20+ years my family and I were harassed and threatened and smeared with phony charges and news releases. (Atty Vincent Flynn in Miami and Marshal Drukarsh in Toronto can tell you about all the phony charges - all of which were dismissed or I was acquitted)

Since my wife and her parents are from Canada we moved there to find peace and quiet - sanctuary if you will.  That lasted six months before the U.S. "ordered" Immigration Canada to arrest and deport me even though my wife of 12 years and son are both Canadian citizens!  I had to claim refugee status to remain with my family in Canada and for doing so I was kept detained in maximum security "IMMIGRATION DETENTION" in a 2 by 3 meter cell with two other men for 10.5 months!  I had no criminal charges pending -and even a former Canadian Chief Justice (Patrick LeSage) and Immigration lawyer Marshal Drukarsh insisted my detention was illegal. After I filed my own pro-se habeas corpus and had a hearing before Justice LeSage, Immigration Canada suddenly called an emergency hearing and released me. Canadian immigration adjudicators Willoughby and DiCarlo know my case well and both apologized to me.  I met with the RCMP anti-corruption rep in Toronto who for one hour did not even take notes after he heard the names I mentioned in Montreal  (RCMP Col. Pierre Jeanette) and the connection with the bikers. I provided him private unlisted numbers that would show calls to Nelson and Finta. He refused to take the information. Why?  See this link:

Upon my release from Immigration detention, I learn that the U.S. wants to extradite me for the alleged stock fraud that did not take place. See the below link for details. Defending against this bogus extradition bankrupted my family and caused me to lose our family home in Ohio to an unscrupulous lawyer who himself was arrested for child abuse. After 8 years I was finally extradited but it took the U.S. attorney's office over 40 days to bring me before a judge for arraignment. So in all, I actually served the time for a crime I never committed without having been convicted for it! I represented myself before Judge Jack B. Weinstein and the charges were all dismissed.  I returned home to reunite with my wife and son in Canada.  10 days later, I discover that I am re-indicted for the same identical charges all over again!

My lawyers advised me to stay in Canada with my Canadian wife and kids which I agreed was a good idea. Three months later, Immigration Canada again is recruited by the U.S. government to tell me I must leave Canada.  I visit with my local MP (Member of Parliament)  Hon. Omar Alghabra who actually chaired the Immigration Committee and he assured me that I had every right to remain in Canada.  I was then tricked by Immigration Officers who told me that since I had no problem with Canada, I could leave and return after 30 days and that would solve the problem. I agreed to comply with the request and took a flight to China in 2008, but was not allowed to reenter Canada and was told I am now inadmissible, since I am still wanted in America for the phony stock fraud case.  Not having any money left for lawyers, I am not going to risk ten years behind bars with some public defenders, so here I sit in China.

In the interim my wife gave birth to our second child, and she has essentially become a single mom in Canada. My wife who never even got a parking ticket in her life was held at gunpoint by federal agents when she was 7 months pregnant along with her 64 year old mother, simply because she would answer their questions without calling a lawyer, a call that was denied her. All my in-laws were there at my Parma home when it was stormed and my manuscripts seized without a warrant or receipt.  at gun-point. A similar episode took place in my Miami home previously and when witnessed gave me written statements of what they saw two of them were threatened with deportation.
