The Court of First Instance in Curacao declared a verdict yesterday in the case brought by the
entrepreneurs Hassell , Lopez and Arnold Huizing court appointed Curator and trustee of the bankrupt
beauty salon as one of the plaintiffs. In total demands Aqua Spa 12 million florins to damages: $ 5.4
million from Riffort / Renaissance and nearly 2.2 million florins of Aruba Bank. During the handling of the
trial on 18 September, the judge also focuses on the role of the bank in the whole. One of the
entrepreneurs, Mena Lopez also began in late October in this paper that the bank during the trial had
lied and that the case is a matter of principle was the dishonest act of Aruba Bank by colluding with
Renaissance so that the latter could get a spa cheap. In the verdict yesterday the court was not
convinced that the bank had acted unlawfully, nor forsaken its duty of care. The company had at the
time of termination of the credit agreement had long failed to fulfill its obligations. The interest and
principal payments were not paid. Also, the bank had insufficient collateral. "It was therefore for the
good of the Bank due to Aqua Spa still got respite in order to find new investors and its financial house
in order." The fact that the bank has just invaded in a period of the Holidays (December) and seized the
inventory, as the entrepreneurs claimed, has seen all late payments and letters of Aruba Bank this falls
under the court therefore understand. Aruba Bank has not acted in breach of 'reasonableness, fairness
or fulfill its duty of care'.
Cahoots
One of the most important and remarkable accusations in this lawsuit is the charge of the cahoots of
Riffort / Renaissance Aruba with Bank. As evidence for this was the sale of the seized inventory for so
little. The bank would for a pittance to the Renaissance have sold the hotel and then went after the
bankruptcy of Aqua Spa himself further with a spa in the same location. "Although the Court palpable
Aqua Spa note that the current situation as such experiences, the Court sees no evidence of foul play

2. between the Bank and Riffort and Renaissance. Not found what importance the Bank thereby would
have, especially now retrospectively must be noted that the Bank is left with a strong claim.
Aruba Bank is not to blame for the demise of Aqua Spa but Riffort Village and Renaissance areaccording
to the judge. Aqua Spa had accused the Riffort Renaissance Curacao of wrongdoing because the
promised promotions in the agreements were not complied with while the lease for no valid reason was
terminated and the spa staff was denied access to get into the Spa. All of these actions were alleged to
be an indication of the intention to take over the spa itself. According to the court statements,it’s
conceivable that they intended to take over the Spa, making it one of their same groups of companies.
This is also evident in the documents which show the companies of the Riffort and the Renaissance
acted as if they were the same entity. Hence the court in assessing the damage question - and claim
thatboth companies belong together. There is an important fact that Aqua Spa was to be promoted to
the guests of both these companies. There was also a walkway guaranteed to come in the contract to
ensure that the Hotel guests would have easy access to the Spa. That did not happen and Aqua Spa on
multiple occasions pleaded and complained to get that access open and useable to the attention of the
Hotel yet that never occurred. The promised marketing never happened causing the Spa to receive far
fewer clients than what the consulting firm and Deloitte& Touchprojected.
When Aruba Bank claimed to be seizing the inventory,Riffort looked at it as the trigger for the lease to
be pulled. The Renaissance Riffort Curacao believed that the revoke terms of that agreement had been
activated, but the court found that not so.The rent was paid up to date in full at that time. The Judge
claimed that the Spa staff was wrongly denied access by the Riffort Renaissance Curacao to their Spa
making it impossible to restart the business. Even after the seizure of the bank of the contents remained
in the Spa so itcould have continued to run. The actions of denying the Spa staff the ability to enter their
place of business deprived them of their rights as a business to proceed and from these actions the
court claims the damages have occurred.

The Verdict is a Lie to deceive you so the system stays in place
This is a comical verdict. How can a Bank who was the gatekeeper of this loan not be culpable for what
happened? They accepted the Predatory lease agreement knowing it would kill the business. They stood
and watched the boycott they knew was coming and taking place before their eyes yet told Mena and
Emile we cannot do anything for you. They knew Eduardo De Veers history of cannibalizing businesses
as they were the Bank, the partner, the other half of this enterprise collecting on the collateral as
Eduardo squeezed the Tenant receiving the Spa for a mere pittance as his reward as they have done
previous. It was all just a routine, something they were used to doing.Then on the day of the closing
without announcing they pushed their way in with five people removed the Financial Books, told the
staff to disengage their clients, to remove their personnel belongings and that the elevator would be
shut down they must leave and yet the court says the bank did nothing wrong? The next day after the

3. disruption they tell the Spa they can go back in? The damage they had intended to inflict was done. The
staff was devastated and dispersed. The clients that were receiving treatments and told to go home
were upset beyond words? The Bank personnelwere seen sitting down outside at a coffee table with
Eddie De Veer laughing and joking as the staff is being sent home without jobs just days before
Christmas?
They have done this before multiple times but never has it had a chance to be exposed in court. These
two entities have always worked together and in court the Bank instead of seeking the money for their
investment from the Hotel the guilty party, went after the Spa constantly trying to kill the case they had
against the Renaissance that would have paid for the Spa the money the Bank is claiming to be seeking?
Now that the verdict says the Renaissance has to pay, the Bank is still going after Aqua Spa? This is the
most upsidedown filthy dirty criminal system you will ever pay witness to. It is nauseating just looking at
the mounds of evidence and realizing that this verdict is ignoring all of it, the Bank’s involvement and
the widespread corruption that exists in their Banking and commerce. It is something Antilleans are
facing daily in their lives.This is a tragedy as no people should have to endure this incredible injustice.
In the Aqua Spa loan the overwhelming facts that a crime occurred simply would not allow the system to
say” no body no crime” as the evidence is there and damaging and will never go away. American
investors immediately ushered all evidence they uncovered out of the country and into a US attorney’s
hands for safe keeping. It has taken the plaintiffs $100,000 of fees paid to an embarrassingly
weakrepresentation by anattorney who acted as a doormat for the Bank to get this this cooked
verdict.The whole system is run like this. Judges, Curators, Attorneys, Accountants, Court people are all
playersin apredatory system designed to tap unsuspecting people who happen into this carnival of lies,
deceit and deception.
The mountain of evidence is screaming that the Bankwasat least an equal partner andmost likely the
driver; the Judge during the court case on multiple occasions made reference to the Bank’s unusual
behavior and in the final questioning about the illegal closing of the Spa acted as if he simply did not
believe their testimony. Now after five months of delay, there is not one single mention or revisit of any
of the points made showing the connections implicating the Bank? There is clear evidence showing
collusion with the Hotel in a mock public sale where they had already negotiated a price and how they
would conduct the so called public auction so that the public could not bid. There is testimony both
written and recorded by the bailiff who says that the bank is lying that he closed the Spa.
Who removed the real JudgeSchendle and his opinion and inserted this Kangaroo court type verdict?
The writer here is fully convinced from the investigation and evidence that has been uncovered to date
including now the 180 degree reversal of the Judges approach that this system is completelyand
irretrievably corrupt. The Government of the Netherlands is the driver of this corruption as they are
recipients of the spoils of the criminal enterprise that they look to be covertly keeping in place. When
asked their reply is “the Islands are autonomous and can do as they please”? Why would the Island
enslave themselves? This is not happening in Puerto Rico or Hawaii.

4. The system will shake you for all your money as the court will
ensure you lose as they Bank controls the system end to end
Is there is anyone contemplating investing in this cesspool of corruption or even visiting these
Antilles?Please let this story be at least a warning. You are in for a ride and education of your life. This
system lacks integrity on every single level but is hidden to the short term visitor. It only becomes
evident once you enter into any contact with Government offices, conduct business, and interact with
citizens who have been through courts or lost businesses to this corrupt system. People here are either
victims, potential victimsor predators working for the system. If you lose you are told you can’t talk
about what has happened to you. You are told you cannot take the Bank to court. You are visited by
local messengers whom threaten you or warn you through subtle messages to keep quiet and out of
the media for your own and families good. The Antilleans are prisoners on their own Island generated
by this system being held in place by the Netherland Government.
This is more than just an aggressive Bank.It encompasses all Banks, Insurance companies and Central
Bank whom is nothing more than a Facade to make you think this is a legitimate Banking system. In the
US these people would be under indictment or already behind bars and the Banking Institutions would
all be under Federal investigation. This is beyond fixing as it is systemic throughout all areas where
Commerce, public Institutions, Banking, Insurance, Central Bank, Education, all law enforcement and
disbursement of public contracts occurs. This is the most corrupt Banking, Government controlled
system imaginable. It is simply an off the map type operation that teeters on complete silence by those
that have lost or been affected by it. This is no longer the case as American Investment money will
ensure that the International community is made acutely aware of all they have uncovered.Please tell
everyone you know about this as no one should have to face what these people whom thought this was
“One Happy Island” have faced since investing in a Spa?
You would never believe that a people could be held hostage like this until you
are in the system according to Americans whom have been involved in this case.
Please find another place to vacation and spend your money. Your dollars spent
here only feed a system where locals are being enslaved. They will survive.
Eventually changes will happen. The Natalee Holloway coverup and this caseare
just a glimpse of how these Antilleansare being misused and abused by a very
immoral Netherlands their mother country. The Dutchare allowing a criminal
operation to be conducted through the Banking system that has enslaved a whole
groupof Island people. The Banks and the Dutch tap the locals and International
investorsfor millions as they dominate Antilleans and steal their wealth in a
system where they control the courts and the outcome of all verdicts.
