I met with Shimmy 2 months ago in Panama. He conned me out $5000. I was promised a job with a bank based in Spain. He claimed the $5000 would be used for a Spainish residency and work Visa. When I arrived at the hotel in Panama, he immediately demanded the money and ran to the front desk of the hotel. I later learned from hehotel manager that he was behind on his bill. The $5000 I gave Shimmy paid his hotel bill and also for the young Colombian prostitute that he promised a Visa as long as she remained "faithful" to him. I realized I'd been scammed and upon returning to New York, I called a few people in Panama that Shimmy clearly did not want knowing the type of "businessman" he is. Shimmy then had some Palm Beach real estate lawyer named Lee Gordon send me threatening emails. I have not lied in any way. I have told the truth and only the truth. I'm posting this to warn others to be careful with Shimmy.
