Santo Domingo .- The Cuban-born brothers wanted in the U.S. for allegedly defrauding Medicare out of more than US$110 million, took the money and everything they had in a safe deposit box in a branch of the of Reservas bank in Higuey (east) and fled the country, newspaper Nacional says.

The Justice Ministry’s Antilaundering Unit coordinator German Miranda said the safety deposit box was opened yesterday with a court order and nothing was found. "The box, registered in the name of Carlos Benitez, was empty, which suggests that he took everything before leaving."

Miranda, quoted by Nacional. said there will be more confiscations in the capital next week, this time to seize six penthouses located in exclusive sectors.

they must have had a small amount in cash. a bank safety deposit box cannot hold much more than a few hundred grand in dollar bills. ever see the prize money in those televised texas hold em poker tournaments? a million in 100 dollar bills takes up half a pool table.

didn't all you folks out there in internet land all know you could depend on carbelk99 to say something unintelligent? seems like any thread is always in jeopardy of becoming an exercise in ignorance as long as carbelk's computer is connected to the broadband, as kmnupe reminds in a posting "it is not that intelligent people know so much, but that fools never learn".

pithecantropus erectus , AKA carbelk, tries to speak what passes for his mind. he has arisen from his slumber, and exited his cave, but, regrettably, the fires outside have subsided because of a shortage of kindling. his computer keyboard is but a blur in the night .that explains the unintelligible disposition of his writings, which appear to be hieroglyphics.
