LEV Request

On the 14th of October Roger Gilder posted a message, alleged to be from LEV, on his "Villalobos Report" website. This is the same person who posted on his website on August 24th that the UCCR was "dead and buried" - a contention that we debunked in an EBS message on September 1st. A number of you have asked for our opinion about the authenticity of the more recent posting on October 14th. Is it really from Enrique? Our reply has to be "yes", because we received the same message except in its original Spanish. Despite the fact that Roger would lead you to believe that he has exclusive rights to information from Enrique, that is not the case. The truth is that he has managed to convince LEV that they share the same religious convictions.

The translation posted by Roger is reasonably faithful to the original. LEV is asking that we allow him to use our websites as a platform for him to speak with investors about spiritual matters of importance to him. He avoids mention of anything having to do with plans he may have for the future. That is one reason why we have hesitated to publicize this. In a recent communication to us he reminded us that since the start of this he has written to us at least seven times concerning his intentions with respect to the money he owes and his inability to access his foreign accounts. There can be no doubt that LEV depends upon his strong faith to sustain him through this long ordeal.  It also makes sense that he would seek divine justice rather than rely further on the Costa Rican judicial system.

What is not so clear to us is the reason behind the efforts of Roger Gilder to discredit the work of the UCCR and to attack the character of its Board members. It would be expected for him to promote the initiative he has partnered with JMV, but to demean the integrity of others does not, in our opinion, help his cause. We have evidence to prove that he will not hesitate to totally distort the truth; and we have received forwarded e-mails from investors who chose to question the details of his plan and were stunned to find themselves vilified in his replies. (Some of the language used by Roger is appalling when he attempts to stifle disagreement.)

None of what we have stated here should be interpreted as a judgment of the merits of Roger's plan - just his behavior. We know little or nothing of the plan's details and we would be the first to congratulate JMV if he can succeed in helping investors recover their money. That is our goal as well. What you should take from this message is that the UCCR has decided to no longer allow the false accusations of Roger Gilder to go unanswered.

P.S. Many of you have wondered how your e-mail addresses were obtained. You need only recall that several years ago, prior to the Oswaldo trial, a website was created for the purpose of having investors update their information. Although the UCCR was not involved, the site was approved by LEV. We believe that Roger Gilder provided technical assistance and served as the site administrator.
