Whether you’re from the USA, somewhere in Europe, or have simply been branded as a “gringo” even though you’re from South Africa, someone in Panama has tried or will try to pull a fast one over on you. Sometimes it’s on purpose and sometimes it starts […]

Friday, May 19, 2023 Panamanian political pandemonium is upon us and it would be the best kind of comedy if it weren’t so annoying. The aggression associated is paramount – the political party “RM” which was created by Ricardo Martinelli, but actually means “Realizando Metas” (Achieving Goals in English), recently protested in the streets of […]

Friday, May 05, 2023 Have you noticed how no-one goes missing in the Bermuda Triangle anymore? This “fad” of mythical beings and unexplained losses, started around 1945 and lasted up until…. …well, I guess until we bettered our location technologies and understanding of weather patterns in the Caribbean. What’s even more interesting, is that according […]

Friday, April 28, 2023 Living in Panama, even with its high-rise buildings and fancy restaurants, is still a third-world country. The suppression of uncomfortable ideas may be common in politics, but there’s no place for it in the endeavor of truth and transparency. Marketting Panama as being all rainbows in an easy-going environment is deception […]

That and everything else we have on the corporate […]

Friday, April 14, 2023 Having been under the weather so long, I decided to take my evenings off, relaxing with a calm, soothing TV series that I haven’t had the chance to watch before.

Friday, March 24, 2023 Doing business in Panama is seemingly impossible to do for some people. As an investigator, I see so many people get defrauded and almost every time it’s because of how the investor managed their investment. Case in point, we have a client who heard of a great investment from a friend […]

I don’t know what the local social security office considers to be 1 dose, but what I do know is that 2 or 3 milligrams of Fentanyl is enough to […]
