Cuba’s socialist dictator-for-life derives his fortune from a web of state-owned businesses. Among his profit-generating operations: El Palacio de Convenciones, a convention center near Havana; retail conglomerate CIMEX; and Medicuba, which sells vaccines and other pharmaceuticals produced in Cuba. castro has ruled the impoverished nation of 11 million since his revolutionary army ousted Fulgencio Batista in 1959. Travels exclusively in a convoy of black Mercedes-Benzes. Sold state-owned Havana Club rum to French liquor giant Pernod Ricard for $50 million in 1993. At age 78, castro continues to rage against the U.S. Last year he banned the use of American dollars as currency in Cuba and imposed a 10% exchange fee for tourists.
“How many ways there are to steal in this country!”
You should know, you schizoid sociopath! Since 1959 you’ve been the maximum thief! As you’ve been all your life.
My dear mother knew a woman, of French origin, who had a gym at the building where we lived in Havana. The woman knew kagaSStro fairly well – some connection by blood or marriage, don’t know which, through feed-el’s girlfriend, Celia Sanchez. One of Celia’s sisters, Chela, in fact lived in the building at the time.
Mom and the aforementioned lady would talk, as Cubans of course like to do. “Do you know,” she told mother once, “that when that son of a bitch was married to Diaz-Balart, he let her support him, AND WOULD NOT EVEN PAY THE ELECTRIC BILL!?”
Once a murdering, thievin’ son of a bitch, always a murderin’ thievin’ son of a bitch. The only cure? Extract of Lead, minimum dose .50, delivered right to the forehead.
yeah, really… where’s el diamante del capitolio?
castro is the king of thieves. Good story Alberto!
