Hello Roy,

On Thursday July 08 2010 09:24, you wrote to me:

You put to much faith in american corruptive investigation methods to work in
the rest of the world. Accepting bribes is illegal in The Netherlands. That may
not stop the shop keeper, but then agian it may lead him to tip the loval
authorities.

Not in The Netherlands. Especially since "wire fraud" is not in the book of
criminal las in The Netharlands.

 RW>>> He excepted $10k in cash

 MvdV>> In a hotel room in Aruba. Illegally recorded.

 RW> Wrong. Legally recorded with the cooperation of the Aruban

Mo way. See previous message.

 MvdV>> The record of the transaction does not prove something illegal

 RW> That record is circumstantial evidence in building the case for wire

Wire fraud is not in the Dutch book pf criminal law.

 RW> Posession of an amount as large as $15,000 paid to someone who

 RW> of un-answerable questions.

Posession of $15000 in cash is not a criminal offence.

Cheers, Michiel
