No out-of-court settlement

Lead attorney for Stephen Isidore, who is facing 42 charges including the theft of over $6 million while a partner in a law firm with former chief magistrate Glenworth Emanuel, has said that there are no plans to settle the matter out of court.

Stephen Isidore at Tuesday morning's press conference.

Anthony Astaphan was speaking at a press conference yesterday where he dismissed claims that a settlement was being sought by the two parties, stating that there was no truth to the statements.

“This thing about settlement is completely news to us…. I am personally and professionally, we’re totally unaware of anything of that kind. There will be no private settlement,” he said.

Astaphan said however his team would only resort to this option if the court master or judge suggests it.

“If there is going to be any resolution of this matter, if the master or the high court believes that when it comes to the court that this is something that is something than can be done by alternative resolution then as its been my practice I would advise to go along with the master’s directions or suggestions. But other than that we are fighting this thing tooth and nail,” he stated.

“This is a very serious allegation. Somebody is being accused of stealing $6 million and I don’t believe that that is something that …I or we should initiate anything of the kind. If the master wants to refer it to mediation or the judge we are not going to present any position of arrogance and tell the judge no. Well that approach didn’t come from us, that’s a fact,” he added.

Criminal complaints were filed against Isidore in the magistrate’s court on Nov. 19, 2010 by Emanuel.  Isidore faces 35 counts of obtaining property by deception, five charges of false accounting, one charge of false statement by a firm’s partner and one count of theft. The theft charge involves $6,975,070.88 which was allegedly stolen by Isidore from the partnership between 2006 and 2010.

The court had agreed to freeze Isidore’s assets in a move to prevent their dissipation, which could affect the judgment process.

This is not the first time Isidore has been in controversy.

In September 2007, Isidore claimed to have made a $51,000  error regarding a transfer tax calculation on a 2.989 parcel of land purchased by Prime Minister Roosevelt SKerrit at Wall House. This was subsequent to pressure from the public on a land transfer tax evasion.

The amount was later refunded to the Treasury.

    To Gary

    It is useless to engage you in any intelligent discussion as your critical analysis therein is obviously unsubstanciated and distatsteful. I am also of the opinion that you are young and innocent. I wont spend the time to highlight your ingnorance,arrogance and obvious political biasness.
    Since you fail to read with an open mind let me again lead you by the hand. I stated that the Issisdor/ Mano case will bring major embarrasment to people in high places if the case is tried in the judicial court. You arrogantly ask wether or not I can substanciate my prediction. Not only do I have concrete and reliable first hand information but also common sense to observe causality and reaction. As I am not obliged to discuss to the details of the pending case I only wish that as Gary attempts to practice his crtical writting that Gary would broaden his mind / think out of the political party Box. Allow me to give you a head start Gary – Question the inconsistencies in Tony Astaphans media statements; Why did Tony Astaphan become leader of the pack and is politically attacking others. If there were no political implications and or threats to people in high places why t not just stick to the merrits of the case and ignore the opposition politics? Until Gary can provide a sound argument on those issues I fear that this part of the discussion is over.
    I am not sure whether or not Gary was operating on all cylinders because he surely made a fool of himself as he tried to be critical of the point (fact) stated on the the ordered arrest of Tony Astaphan by the then Magistrate ” You follow- Mano”.. Gary, I attribute your ignorance to your youthfullness. It is a fact that Mano WHILE HE WAS CHIEF MAGISTRATE ordered an arrest of Tony Astaphan for contempt of court- Go do the research.
    “The higher the monkey climb is the more it will expose”- Gary this is one of the old adage and I’m sure you can make sense of this little but powerful proverb. In addition I did not refer to all lawyers and politicians but referenced ” The young and overly ambitious politicians and lawyers who seek to get rich overnight ” Let your conscience be your guide Mr Gary.

    I hope that Gary will read the rest of the crap that he wrote as critcal analysis of my opinion and only wish that he had not made such a fool of himself. Gary we’ve all had bad days and I sure hope you remove the vail over your eyes and start being an independent thinker

    Who knew that their practice generated so much revenue? Six million is quite a bit to be stolen by one man. Hopefully, the abridged party gets justice. I personally dislike thieves. If he is proven guilty, then he must repay what was stolen. He should also be disbarred from practicing law in Dominica.

      It was not a law practice it was a laundry specilaizing in launderining US 100.00 bills. This is how the laundry operated. A sent the money to B, B sent it to C, and C sent it to D.. Poor Isidore he was just the water boym he thought Mano was blind, Mano probably know that de mnoey had nothing to do with him, but it went through his practice, so he need to know just like us, where it come out and where it go to.. Trust Tony and Isidore and Skerrit, do not want that court case. The best thing that could happen for them is for Mano and all his documents to come to ashes.. I am not saying is they that try to make ashes of Mano and his documents eh, but that would be good gfor them. Case would be closed and Tomy would be LMAOing as usual!! Mano the veteran soldier was not going to go down that easy! Hahahahaha! Robert Ludlum could not have come up with this thriller!

    Isidore is a man from very humble beginnings who took his education seriously, however he allowed himself to be seduced by Doctors Evil. He is the weak link in the chain of lies and corruption. The Head Doctor Evil always has a Fall-Guy, Isidore is being used twice. I hope isidore has people praying for him because his mother (God rest her soul) is gone. I will pray for him, there is still hope.

      Finding people guilty in the peoples court of options is not in our constitution, thanks God. I just hope that one day you will not be a victim of the peoples court of opinions. Oh what about the sentencing after finding someone guilty in the peoples court of opinions. I have not heard what your sentence would be.

      You mentioned on a past comment that you know who are the perpetrators of the alleged incident, them if you know, why is it you are not going to the proper authorities. Your evidence might be used and so there will be no more peoples court based on opinions, isn’t that how we find people guilt with evidence presented examined and cross examined proving the credibility of the evidence, that is how peoples guilt and innocence is proven.

    But is it not reasonable to be presumed guilty when you block the reading out of criminal charges and get your government pals to engineer gagging orders whilst the date for the reading out of the charges is set back to a few months? When the charges are read out then Skimi will have to state whether is guilty or not and then and only then can things start to take shape and be out in the open. This gives Skerro lots of time to cover his tracks, doesn’t it?

    I am a man of the law and i do not at all believe that the theft of $6,000,000.00 is by any means a matter to be dealt with privately. This is a criminal act, one that needs to be seriously investigated by the FCU of the Dominica Police Force; charges be preferred at the advice of the AG’s Chambers and then prosecuted by the DPP.

  20. Jepter
    December 29, 2010

    Are these not matters that the state can take upon itself in prosecuting? Financial crimes are also offenses against the state you know. Where’s the Commissioner of Police, Superintendent in charge of Crime and the DPP in all of this?

    I’ve already predicted that this case will be settled out of court. There is just too much embarassment for too many people in high places. Tony Astaphan would be more than happy to settle. I am absolutely sure that Tony is a “Blauffere”.
    If “YOU FOLLOW” wants to settle then why is there a need for the arab messiah. The arab messiah has a personal axe to grind with mano. Remember mano had Tony arrested for contempt of court andTony still feels that You Follow was out a place to arrest an Astaphan. Tony had been waiting for an opportunity but this time does not seem to be the opportuned moment.
    The higher and faster the monkey climb is the more it expose it’s ugly rear. That applies to politicians and young lawyers who are overly ambitious and seek to get rich overnight. You put a kid in a candy store and sooner or later thetooth aches.

But Mano is a principled man and my guess is that after the attempt on his life, he will go for the full Monty. Minime knows that, so expect another attempt to silence GON. This time though GON with be waiting. The trap is already set.

      To espwa mal papiy

      Why do you make such asinine statements and them want to predict the out come of the case. Opinions are cheap everyone has one. I will tell you this, you have aright to form your opinion, but do not believe that it contains the whole truth, or the only truth. When you make the statement “There is just too much embarrassment for too many people in high places” where this belief or thinking comes from, is it something
      you know for a fact or are you one of those who are swayed by public opinion based on Partisan Politics. You also made a next statement quote “Remember mano had Tony arrested for contempt of court and Tony still feels that You Follow was out a place to arrest an Astaphan.” When you make a statement like this it shows how ignorant you are and little you know and understand. First of Mano could not arrest someone or anyone for contempt of court, she was not a Magistrate or Judge these are the people who can asked for the arrest of contempt of the court. Why didn’t you not find out the real truth as to the story before making ludicrous statements as though it was the truth. If someone like you can not be trusted for reporting the truth but instead twist it to suit your own agenda this just says a lot about your, and by the way, why do you have to be racial with your comments is this how you get your power, making you feel good putting someone down when you cannot understand them or may have a different opinion Politically is that called for.

      In your reference to your the monkey analogy, do you really think that this is a good analogy to describe all Lawyers and Politicians. In regards to the kid in the candy store, I will tell you about adults. When a kid is afraid of the dark we can surly forgive them but when grown men are shown the light and refuse to see it, that to is sad, you know why tunnel vision. Finally all the things you mentioned for sale you forgot hearsay it to is for sale, from the comments I’m reading it looks like it is the best seller out there.

Can you not say something positive for once?. 2011 is on the way and I wish that most of you negative persons will look inside and make a resolution to be a better person and to speak life with our mouths instead of doom and gloom. Look to see if we are following what the Creator has asked us to do. We should not look at the other person if we do we will not move forward. We should look inner in ourselves. Let us ask ourselves what can I do for my country and not what can my country do for me. What can I do for this lovely Island of Dominica positively. We need to speak less and do mor e action. I am sure each and everyone of us can do something meaningful for our community. The Government cannot do all and we are also the Government. Food for Thought. Forward we go 2011.. As Dominicans we need to harness our resources – Blue resources, Red resources, yellow resources and green resources together.

      Are we not all Dominicans?.. Enough of that wishing bad for all and sundry, enough of that bad mouthing, enough of that “Beff Attitude”

    December 29, 2010

    One of the most common tactics of Linton and his UWP cohorts is the spinning of events, and instead of making direct statements which will surely lead to lawsuits they can’t defend (such as directly stating that Isidore or Skerrit were responsible for the fire), they resort to the use of innuendo. What is innuendo?

    Innuendos are of two types: a. true (or legal) innuendo and b. false (or popular innuendo).

    In a true innuendo, the words are innocent on their face but the plaintiff alleges that they are defamatory because of some special circumstances not set out in the words themselves but known to the persons to whom the words were published.
    -C/wealth Caribbean Tort Law (Gilbert)

    Example of a true innuendo, “The United Workers Party condemns this next level of seemingly organized crime, seemingly being orchestrated to eliminate witnesses who come forward with evidence of corruption implicating the government and their agents.” – Ron Green.

    Green isn’t stating directly but is clearly implying that the DLP is an organized crime organization, is responsible for the fire and that it was meant to eliminate Mr. Emanuel for daring to ‘come forward with evidence of corruption’.

    This post is getting too long so I will talk about false innuendo later. :)

    Here is some information in light of the character assassination of anyone connected to the DLP on a daily basis on Q95 by the UWP leader Linton et al. The fact that Q95 is not harassed by the gov’t is ultimate proof that democracy is alive and well in Dominica.

    What is defamatory? A defamatory statement is one which tends:
    a. to lower a person in the estimation of right-thinking members of society
    b. to expose a person to hatred, contempt or ridicule
    c. to discredit a person in his trade, profession or calling
    d. to damage a person’s financial credit
    -C/wealth Caribbean Tort Law (Gilbert)

    Every single one of these grounds for defamation applies to the ongoing Isidore saga. The UWP claims to support democracy; yet they dismiss the right to presumed innocence until found guilty in a court of law, and try and convict people instead in the court of public opinion.

      Anti-hate is a misnomer. The hateful Anti-hate does not believe that Q95 and its talk show hosts are HARASSED by Govt. OPERATIVES? What about the recent GAG ORDER SERVED to Angelo Allen and Lennox Linton and Matt and indirectly Q95 about two days ago? What about the continuous DEROGATORY statements and harassments by Tony Astaphan, Charles Savarin and the other DLP cohorts on a continuous basis? The only reason why they have not passed a law to SHUT DOWN Q95, is because they are afraid that the people will RISE UP to defend their local Radio Station that is steadfast in broadcasting the evil deeds, corrupt practices, revealing secret deals, and disseminating the TRUTH that cannot be REFUTED neither by the DLP Govt. and its supporters. They FEAR the POWER of Q95 bringing and explaining the issues to the people.

        Dude i’m not hateful of anyone OK? It’s not in my nature to see people spewing nonsense and not respond. I like arguing/debating. Doesn’t mean I actually have anything personal against anyone, some of my best friends are UWPites.

        Q95 has an important role yes, but people have to take what is broadcast on that station with a grain of salt because they clearly have an agenda.

        If Q95 is as powerful as you think, why is it after non-stop campaigning on the station by their party leader Linton, the UWP were only able to win 2 seats and scrape by in a 3rd?

          Imagine how Dominica would be without Q95 revealing all those irrefutable secret deals and controversial corrupt actions by those in Public Office who you all are quick to defend. Imagine how much money the treasury would be defrauded of without Dominicans knowledge. Imagine if any Dominican would know about Rubbish Bin and Fertilizer Bobols. Imagine if any Dominican would be aware of the Trafalgar secret land deal. You truly believe that was a mistake not to pay the treasury the thousands of dollars? Imagine ownership of the VILLAS. Who would know about that classic Revelation? Imagine whether Dominicans would know if they are being RULED by an illegal leader of DLP and Govt. Would you or your political friends ever tell Dominicans about the Susan Olde and the US $400,000.00 matter? Where did that money Go? How would Dominicans be aware of the importance of ELECTORAL REFORM which is so GOOD for our country to ensure FREE and FAIR elections. Dude and those others of your ilk hate is expressed both in words and deeds.

      Anti Hate educate them. The pit that one digs will come back to haunt them in the future. Food for thought. Some had their dual citizenship and served many years in public life. You donot see that when they raised against the PM then it also come to haunt them since a lot of them also had dual citizenship. When did one claim to relinquish his citizenship – prior to the 2009 Election. Indeed not too long ago. So they should explain why what they are making an issue about now was not a problem back in 1995 to prior 2009.

      One love – go spread true love and stop spreading hatred. Who ever said that anyone wants to close Q95? One should only say something when one has evidence and facts. You know from your statements what is going to go around amongst those who are hating and gullible – The Gov’t want to close Q95 and they are are afraid that the people will riseup……..in your own words and comments above. You must stick to facts and stop fabricating and spreading rumours etc to create civil unrest and anarchy. Please be warned those of you who are doing this wicked acts. Our Father is watching us. Some of us will answer for the things we do and say.
