Now I'm not sticking up for anyone...As far as Jon Clark is concerned, I've never had a problem with him. Shit, I don't even know him. I have NO idea why he's not paying this guy, maybe he's a douchbag, maybe not. Don't know, don't care.

But I will say this. I have done much international business. And truth is that I have run into situations (since 911 and the Sarbanes Oxley laws) where I couldn't send someone money because of the country they lived in, country they once lived in, last name (even American citizens), or other bullshit reasons that put them on a watch list held secretly by the banking industry and airlines. Once a transaction is flagged for an S/O you might as well be insane to try to get them funds any which way, or you really could be held without rights under these fairly new laws. Try to pull some shifty shit and send the cash in a different way, and you become guilty (even if they are not!).

That part of the story is 100% believable to me, because it has happened. Now, I'm a licensed stock broker, Have an MBA and have facilitated over a dozen international mergers and acquisitions in the past ten years, so take it for what it's worth. The info is not coming from a position of ignorance.

As far as this situation, and judging from the general knowledge about Mr. Clark, It sounds like bullshit. But it is definitely possible.

My general feeling is that you never believe someone who is surrounded by constant conspiracy because where there's smoke, there's usually fire.
