Message to INFODIO readers: investigative journalism, which is what this site does, takes lots of time. Visiting media looking for a quick run down on Venezuela's gargantuan corruption, have the decency to at least cite the source when plagiarising this site's content without attribution (exhibit Reuters here and here, exhibit Bloomberg here, exhibit OCCRP here). To all readers, do the right thing, the honest thing: support independent investigative journalism, help us expose rampant corruption. Note added 28/06/2021: impostors are using this site's former editor's full name, and a fake email address (alek.boyd.arregui@gmail.com) to send copyright infringement claims / take down requests to web hosting companies (exhibit Hostgator). The attempt is yet another effort paid by corrupt thugs to erase information about their criminal activities. Infodio.com has no issues with other websites / journalists using / posting information published here, so long as the source is properly cited.

Dentons renegotiating PDVSA claim with Boies & Duker

Algamex, Bill Duker

By now, it is a fact that Bill Duker controls ALGAMEX, the shell described in the agreement between David Boies and PDVSA, as the funding source for civil litigation initiated by Boies in Florida. It is a less known fact that Boies, Duker and Ruperti have been meeting in Spain, to discuss case proceedings and funding. Less known, still, is the fact that OFAC-designated kingpin Tareck el Aissami has been giving instructions to David Syed, a Denton's lawyer from London who keeps visiting Caracas, to renegotiate with Boies and Duker a substantial increase in recovery proceeds. Venezuela's top thugs aren't happy with Boies and Duker getting 66% of the likely loot, and have threatened to derail the whole thing.

While this opera buffa takes place, the Swiss criminal probe keeps ticking along nicely. Sources familiar with the case claim that Department of Justice officials have made contact with Swiss counterparts. Soon enough Canonica Valticos de Preux and Swiss banks will be thrown in the limelight -again- due to Venezuela connections.
