On Saturday a post titled "Second Passport Citizenship and Residency in Belize" made its rounds on FaceBook. According to the post, a company called "IPC Belize" was able to provide Belizean passports for $8,900 US dollars.
Over the weekend, the Department of Immigration responded to the post in a press release denying the authenticity of such a service. The release says that any possibility of the sale of Belizean passports through an Economic Citizenship Programme was removed after a constitutional amendment in 2001. Currently, the only way of obtaining Belizean Nationality is through registration or descent.
The release also mentions that searches were conducted in the Companies Registry of Belize, and there is no company registered in Belize under the name "IPC Belize". Bottom line, it's bogus, and a scam - but that doesn't mean that people aren't being taken in by it.
Mcafee Documentary Connects The Dots In Multiple Murders
Well, the much-anticipated John McAfee documentary finally aired on Saturday night, and boy, was it something! Apart from unveiling the quite lurid details of John McAfee's private life, it also plausibly connected the dots in two murders: American Greg Faull who was shot to the head on San Pedro, and Belizean David Middleton who was badly beaten in Orange Walk and died shortly after.
McAfee's former associates in Belize and Police opened up to the film's producers in sometimes shocking detail about those two murders. First, here's what they had to say about the murder of 2012 Greg Faull. Faull was McAfee neighbor on the north end of Ambergris Caye and he had complained about McAfee's many dogs who were known to harass those passing on the beach - which is public land.
Notably, Cassian Chavarria has since recanted what he said on that documentary - and told the media that he was paid twelve-thousand, five hundred dollars by the film's producers. Showtime subsequently issued a statement saying, quote, "Showtime Documentary Films does not pay subjects for their interviews."
As for Eddie McCoy, known as Mack-10, who is implicated in the documentary as a possible suspect in the Faull killing, John McAfee published a Western Union receipt from the film's producer, Nanette Burstein to McCoy for one-thousand five hundred US dollars.
The Commissioner of Police did not respond to our request for a comment on these revelations.
But that's not the end of it! The documentary also made revelations about the murder of Orange Walk Resident David Middleton. He was badly beaten in early 2011 and died days later. Mcafee's taxi driver and local facilitator Tom Mangar told the film's producers that McAfee believed Middleton had broken into his house - which was near the Tower Hill bridge at that time. So McAfee allegedly sent for enforcers to issue some street justice:..
No one has ever been arrested for the Middleton murder. And so what are police going to do about all these very strong suggestions of criminal complicity in two murders? Well, we couldn't get any comment from the Compol, and our sources tell us that police have not involved the DPP's office in this case.
