PSA for international criminals
As a public service to those expected … er… refugees … who may be planning an extended stay in Mexico after October 15 (the deadline for reporting off-shore assets to the Internal Revenue Service to avoid “penalties and/or prison sentences”) … be careful who you consider your “friends.” Maxi Sop0 didn’t walk off with THAT much money… a measly 200 grand, but still, he forgot the first lesson of international criminal behavior. Keep a low profile.
Maxi Sopo is not your typical immigrant success story. The young Camaroonian immigrant worked his way up from selling flowers in Seattle bars to scamming banks and credit card companies. He should have returned home to Camaroon, but the bright lights of Cancún were calling. It’s a nice place for a young dude with money to spend. But, he shouldn’t have told his friends about it. Not on Facebook.
Which federal agents like Seth Regg of the Secret Service (which investigates banking fraud) are likely to see… and become a new “friend” — one Sopo is likely to remember for the next thirty years.
