Liberty International Bank & Trust

Anglo American Bank has had its banking license reinstated by the Grenada International Financial Services Authority; Nevis-based offshore provider Robin Cotterell recently established an insurance company called Old Pacific Insurance Ltd.; Former Lines Overseas Management (Cayman) salesman Scott Oliver has popped up in Costa Rica as President of 'Somerset, Tighe and Campbell', which describes itself as a firm of "professional investment advisors" at its web-site at www.offshorecostarica.com; Inter Caribbean Business Management/Global Dominion Group in Nevis, which has been accused by at least one client of not redeeming her investment, has left Nevis and also closed down its web-sites; and Vladislav Popovic, the director of Richard & Partners, which is accounting firm Pannell Kerr Forster's representative in Montenegro, has confirmed that his firm has never carried out any auditing work for Montenegro-licensed Goldstar Commercial Bank AD, as claimed by the bank's principal, Gerardo Rodriguez Reynante, who is based in Uruguay.

About 200 people who invested more than $6 million through Nevis-based Global Dominion Financial Services are unable to redeem their investments, OffshoreAlert can reveal. One investor, a 39-year-old disabled woman residing in Washington State, is due to have her house repossessed on June 24, 2001 because she cannot meet her mortgage payments.

Costa Rica-registered Elfindepan S. A., which, inter alia, provides debit card services to Nevis-based Liberty International Bank & Trust, has been held in civil contempt of court in the United States. Co-defendants Southern Financial Group and Tracy Calvin Dunlap Jr. were also held in contempt of court in a ruling issued on March 15, 2001 at the U. S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina.

The manager of a Nauru-registered bank that appears to be operated illegally from Nevis said he did not realize he was doing anything wrong and will take steps to correct the matter. Dennis L. Shollenburg also said that a lawsuit that has been filed against him and others in the US by plaintiffs alleging investment fraud involving his previous bank had not been served on him.
