NewsLady Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hi, everyone. I hope everyone had a very good new year. I listed below some articles you may find interesting, especially the two about how, in certain circumstances, US expat taxpayers can lawfully exclude over $100,000 from their federal tax return. (I put those first.) This is especially relevant for those living in Panama, because Panama uses a "territorial" tax system, which doesn't tax income sourced outside of Panama. We're not giving tax advice, so as with any tax strategy, please ask your licensed tax advisor about your specific circumstances. I hope you find these articles useful.

Penny Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Recently Chuck Bolotin who runs "Best Places" ran an article about crime in Chiriqui written by local tour guide Jackie Lange. Jackie made a totally unfounded and hurtful statement in her article when she stated that Betsy Waddington's husband Joe had been killed because he was a drug dealer. Nobody who knows this family believes there is any truth in this assertion. Chuck had no reason to doubt the article when submitted and actually no way to verify it since Jackie didn't name the victim. Since he runs a responsible website he has pulled the article.

Bonnie Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 While it's true that the victim wasn't named, anyone who lived her at the time would know that Jackie was referring to the death of Joe Petrobenko. Not only do people not believe that Joe dealt in drugs, but nothing in the investigation suggested such a motive. Joe, Betsy, and Betsy's mother Lorraine were well-loved members of this community who suffered terribly. Betsy and Lorraine likely will suffer for the rest of their lives. I pray that they did not see the post, and hats off to Chuck for removing it. And shame on Jackie for writing such a damaging post based on what must have been an idle rumor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Chuck Bolotin is more informed about Panama's slander laws than is Jackie Lange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
