Attorney Bill Thompson of Florida felt he made the first step in bringing justice forth over a 3 year international fight. The ruling in civil court, has opened the doors to be able to proceed with other actions. Thompson stated “with a civil judgement in hand I will proceed to have a criminal court accept the facts in this case and seek criminal actions against ALL parties”.
The matter before the court was a civil action against a US couple living in Belize that Jim Jensen had made investments with. The focus of the action which the couple failed to appear as defendants, an Investment Jensen made in a Liquor business in Punta Gorda Belize named in the filing as “Adiferous Wine and Liquor's”. Court records indicate and evidence submitted that Jensen invested over $35,000 BZ in the couples Liquor venture in Punta Gorda. Submissions to the courts included a 47 page detailed series of documents that included banks records, wire transfers, loan agreements and e-mails between the parties.
Thompson stated “by the couples failure to appear we had a judgment, I wanted the evidence submitted and accepted by the courts as evidence of fact”. We have that now.
The judge's ruling found that the $35,000 BZ invested by Jensen was stolen by the America Couple using the excuse that Adiferous Wine and Liquor's had been robbed. The US couple then collected insurance money for the claimed robbery and never repaid Jensen for the $35,000 BZ investment which represents the inventory the US couple claimed was stolen. They, the US couple collected the money, closed the Liquor store and sold the building before actions could be taken to stop them.
Further in the ruling, the Judge also awarded Jensen an additional $10,000 in damage for a loan which Jensen had converted to ownership in the business and another $10,000 for a donation Jensen's wife Janis had made to a claimed NON profit operation previously ran by the US couple in Belize.
