However, if we are adults, as she is, she is still responsible for her decisions, and in this case there are multiple criminal charges against her and several other family members, and multiple civil actions as well.

You are right about a second thing also. She is on the losing end of this issue legally. While the law may be harsh, it is the law.

She told me herself that she thought the advice I gave her was the right thing to do, but she had no choice but to do as her “in my opinion” EVIL father directed her to do.

The truth is her father is a hen-pecked old man controlled by his wife, and it is the domineering mother that that guided this whole catastrophe.

This case will go to court eventually. In fact, a pre-trial hearing is scheduled for October 31, 2007. If they will not capitulate, I will see them go to prison.

While she is a victim of her own family’s greed, I am even more so a victim.

Since I am not the first foreigner they have exploited, I see it as my duty to use the law to stop them from victimizing other Americans.

As for you reading any positive comments on the Internet regarding her as a victim, she has only one advocate that I know of that and that is American ex-pat Michael Rogers, who is an asshole, and I have never met anyone who does not consider him to be an asshole.

So, believe what you want, but I appreciate your initial comments and impression. You were dead on.
