Monaco has imprisoned Stephen Troth the former head of Republic Bank in Monaco.
Stephen Troth has been charged with unlawfully withdrawing sums from numerous celebrity accounts with Republic Bank in Monaco.
Stephen Troth supposedly "confessed"--yet we have it on good authority that this is another false confession.
More likely is that Stephen Troth is being scapegoated for the crimes of others.
In New York, Martin Armstrong has been imprisoned for 32 months--ostensibly the perpetrator of hundreds of millions in security fraud.
What is clear is that Republic Securities, subsidiary of Republic Bank, admitted to wrongdoing and paid something on the order of six hundred million.
Why then is Martin Armstrong still held? He is the designated scapegoat.
In Martin Armstrong's case, the judge appointed his former clerk to divest Armstrong of all his assets--including what he'd paid his attorney.
Martin Armstrong was then charged (frivolously) with contempt and is being held indefinitely--broke, gagged, isolated.
There seems to be something about Republic--in the eighties it was the charge of laundering for the Contras.
The Republic attorney then is Lily's now, Stanley Arkin.
He was also the attorney for Natasha Kagalovsky, whose husband Konstantin headed Russia's giant Menatep Bank.
Arkin defended Natasha against money-laundering charges in the Bank of New York (BONY) scandal.
Russians, money laundering and Republic--it's the eternal triangle.
And when Edmond tried to clean up what he'd discovered--voila: he daid.
Ted tried to protect Edmond--shazaam: three years in the hole with an option on life.
The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming--don't bother, they're here.
