1. All of they must be recognized, because they have made a great job in helping to punnish people those who likes to get out money from their countries ("sacadolares" in spanish).

2. Jorgito castaneda must be judged in Mexico, because he betrayed his country, giving information to foreigners to take out money (maybe dirty money) and foolishing people with investment fraud.

3. "El que ama a Maddof ama a Stanford" (those whom loves Maddof also loves Stanford)

Habra que ver que se puede hacer juridicamente contra Jorge Castañeda.

El ha actuado ayudando a engañar a mexicanos y se ha logrado un daño a la economia y la lista del Global Mail muestra a otros complices.

Es necesario saber si lo hizo siendo funcionario (ministro de relaciones internacionales) y utilizando la informacion que del pais el posee.

definitivamente es gente que no tiene ningun sentido de amor a mexico

habra que ver alrededor de sus compañeros de gabinete si estuvieron en este asunto de los paraisos fiscales.

These people were paid large sums to serve on this advisory board. At a minimum, they should have to pay back what they made. One of them began spending way above his previous life style when he went on this board. They were enbalers.

Jorge betrayed Mexico, giving info to those who made crime

Jorge wanted to be president of Mexico

We in Mexico are safe from him, not as some investors
