Uh oh,

...and they haven't lammed out, in time... !!!
Maximo, a word of advice, if you truly believe that the accusations regarding foreign bank account are untrue you can always sue the newspapers in the courts. Oh I forgot your Mother decreed that the laws of “ slander and libel ” do not apply in Argentina. What a truly fuc**d up country. No wonder the Nisman case will never be solved. Too many people with fingers in the pie and accusations flyng around.
Mar 31st, 2015 - 08:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0We must assume therefore that Maximo has no objections to the funds in those accounts being frozen.
Mar 31st, 2015 - 09:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0I look forward to Enrique Massot's response. I am sure he can provide a 'reasonable' answer to these accusations.
Mar 31st, 2015 - 10:04 am - Link - Report abuse 0Won't be long now before Cristina trots out that time-worn cliche, “it's all part of a 'soft-coup' against me”, whilst failing to actually rebuff the accusations.
Let's see them go on record denying it is 'their' money and rejecting all claims on it.
(Although I expect it has been moved long since...)

Thank you for calling me back here. Here it is, ilsen:
At #6, golfcronie provides you with the response: “I am sure the banks know precisely where the money is.” I am sure of that too and expect Clarín to come up with that info. Should not be that difficult.
Additionally, let me give you some advice. When you read a newspaper article, look at the sources used. Beware when you see conditional verbs used at the beginning. Readers often forget that the whole story began with “would have” or would've done,“ and by the end are assuming they were told hard, cold facts.
Next, look at the sources. Be wary of anonymous sources, a resource Clarín frequently uses. Any newspaper will use those sparingly and in justified situations only.
You may recall the news broken by Veja, in which three-- anonymous--former Chavistas denounced a nuclear component of the alleged CFK cover up of Iran. That one never took off. Just smoke and mirrors.
Now, the story about Máximo is also based on ”bank sources“ and ”a bank document.”
Watch out for the follow-up story containing the hard facts. But don't stand while waiting. Use a chair.
Pay attention to Enrique because he knows all there is to know of Argentina all the way from .......Canada...the pedophile in hiding.

Reading about the taste of Dulce de Leche, but never tasting it?
Reading what war is like and thinking that you appreciate combat?
That is Enrique. His Argentina does not exist. You're a feeble old parasite Enrique sucking off the success of Canada.Would you like some pictures of Kirchners success and the ONE decade in Argentina?
Max “the fat fuck” Kirchner is a thug. I've seen his goons in action at the Greek Embassy in the Federal District a few years back, have you seen Max the Pedophile in action?
There's a reason that disgusting piece of trash is living in Canada.

They are pure trash

Maximo Kirchner rejects accusations; blames ???
Mar 31st, 2015 - 07:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0yes, as always, its someone else's fault.
I bet Maxximus Prattus is rueing the day that the Cyclops and TMBOA took on Clarin.
Mar 31st, 2015 - 07:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just give it a little longer and Clarin will bring destruction to the Kirchner filth using the law in other countries.
Reject is a favorite buzzword of the Argentines. They are too stupid to realize that you can only reject when you can stop an action. Like when SCOTUS rejects an Argentine appeal over their debt.......lol. That's a rejection.
Mar 31st, 2015 - 08:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Fat Max's denial that he has secret accounts abroad is to be expected. It's the same shit here with the ex-PB directors....hundreds of millions of dollars in secret accounts have been uncovered in Switzerland and other fiscal paradises, in their names, and yet they continue to deny any knowledge of them. So, I presume that when the money is confiscated, they won't feel the urge to complain.
Mar 31st, 2015 - 08:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That's not Max's money - that's Paul Singer's. Max just doesn't know it yet. This game of whack a mole just got a lot more fun. Hey Reekie, check it out:

14. Great Article, I often wonder if reporters read my posts.
Mar 31st, 2015 - 11:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The scale of Kirchernism’s failure, not to mention its sheer tawdriness, has created perhaps unique conditions for disavowing this past. But the real question is whether ordinary Argentines and their leaders are willing to make the mental and cultural leap as October’s elections draw closer.
“Anyone,” I was repeatedly informed during my Argentine visit, “would be better than Cristina.” Alas, Argentina’s economic difficulties are such that much more is needed than just “not Cristina.” What’s required is wholesale rejection of entire ways of thinking and practices that are buttressed by attitudes and priorities apparently hardwired into Argentina’s retrograde economic culture.
In that regard, I’m afraid, realism about Argentina, to paraphrase a former Israeli prime minister, involves belief in miracles.

Guys!
Apr 01st, 2015 - 02:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0aww...!
Thank you all for your support, and for firmly putting our Enrique down where he belongs.
Dear Henry Mashood,
Thank you for so much for the advice on how to 'read' an article.
Do you not think I read from other sources from around the world?
How presumptious of you.
I now realise that my private school education, Degree and Post-Grad Degree, years of experience in LatAm and Europe, and being a success in business is completely worthless!
haha! Not!
Or, maybe, just maybe, you are just a patronising old fool, still fighting the battles of the 1970s, and DIDN'T ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION!
No, you just side-slipped it and said that Clarin would answer it.
You say, wait for 'hard facts'...
Why can't you provide them?
You just claim 'smoke and mirrors', without proof.
Call yourself a journalist? Looks like your sources are based on the Vancouver Park Board press releases...
“Watch out for the follow-up story containing the hard facts. But don't stand while waiting. Use a chair.”
I am happy to take the Chair on this. I look forward to more facts about K-gangster corruption.
You can use a commode. I think you are gonna need one.
Enrique must confuse being an Arg Patriot with being a PERONIST!
Apr 01st, 2015 - 04:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0Why else would he support this Gang of crooks raping his previous country.
At least the Socialists and the Unions fight a cause to benefit the Proletariate “ - ”working poor”, while the Kirchnerist Peronist populists benefit nobody but themselves and their cronies, by manipulating the unemployed!!

Cayman ?? A UK Overseas Territory with the same constitutional status as the Falkland Islands. Firstly, could he really be so stupid (answers on a postcard to the Pink House) and secondly, what a delicious irony if it were true and exposed.
Apr 01st, 2015 - 11:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0We are friends of the Caymanians; they sent us around a $million after the war for reparations. Maybe they will send Maximos millions to help pay for demining.
Laughing all the way past the bank.

Apr 02nd, 2015 - 10:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0My apologies. I thought Clarín would be coming with the smoking gun about Máximo off-shore bank account by now. Instead, the paper seems to have totally dropped the subject. My bad, ilsen! Let's keep waiting but take a long chair!
Usually a newspaper would break the news with whatever they have at hand, and later do a follow-up with hard evidence. In this case, similarly to the nuclear agreement denounced by three (anonymous) ex-chavistas, good sources seem hard to come by.
Additionally, Clarín did not contact Máximo prior to publishing its story, breaking with customary journalistic ethics that require always give a say to the parties in a story.
Although it does not prove anything, Máximo has told the media he hasn't been out of the country in the last 13 years. Hardly a playboy eh? Well, but you know...he did not need to really go there, did he?
Anyway. On another matter, I have excellent news. An agreement between the western countries and Iran has been brokered. A step in the right direction, good points for Obama and a huge setback for war-mongering Benjamin Netanyahu.
Now we will be waiting for a prosecutor to come up with an accusation about Obama's criminal plan to get a few dozen ayatollahs against permission to build a couple of McDonald's in Tehran.
Oh, and I was very impressed by your CV. Your education really does transpire in your writing. Perhaps you just missed a class or two in Debate 101.
@21 “Additionally, Clarín did not contact Máximo prior to publishing its story, breaking with customary journalistic ethics that require always give a say to the parties in a story.”
Apr 03rd, 2015 - 03:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Really? What would you know about it all the way up there in Canada?
And what could you possibly know about investigative journalist practises?
Did you even bother to research the history of the Clarin/Kirchner relationship? Nestor was great friends with the editor and they had many cosy dinners. CFK, however, has no idea how to cultivate a relationship with anyone other than her own reflection.

Apr 03rd, 2015 - 07:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Enrique is a small town reporter and whistleblower - writing against government spending excesses, at public and taxpayer expense.
I don't know why he cannot apply his journalistic objectivity to the abuses of the Peronist government in Argentina??
Is he blinded by a romantic vision of an Argentina that no longer exists??

@23 Well, my goodness but where would the world be if investigative journalists applied his paradigm?
Apr 03rd, 2015 - 08:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Unfortunately some journalists are easily bought to produce puff pieces. I wonder what his price is?
what is wrong with these assholes. Do they not realize that rejecting causes an action......like preventing something from happening. Can someone teach South America the concept and word “deny”.........he denies these claims. They really over use reject. UNASUR rejects Englands military spending on the falklands.....guess what.....it does not stop it. MERCOSUR rejects the FALKLANDS referendum vote aligning with the UK.......again it does not prevent the action.
