As I had said before, Manuel is safely in Peru..They (the press there) are hectoring him...I saw a picture from there where he is giving the finger to a reporter from inside his car...shades of American Politicians.....You may believe that his government will not feed him to the dogs...especially after that long sentence given...Manuel just pleaded guilty to anything they wanted him to say..He obviously wanted out on bail to flee..(and everyone was paid off ...bailsmen, etc..when he got home and picked up some money from wealthy relatives) Feel sorry for George,,,who now has to face all the venom created by F&W losing face...George was a wholesaler..so do not believe for a second that the amount of money involved was anywhere near that much...Remember..those same plants were eventually made legal by Peru for exporting..The events occurred prior to their being made legal..that is the problem...Naturally F&W is not mentioning that....Bill _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids
