Yes Nancy, I write for the Baja Times. I would love to see you produce one link to an article of mine that pushed or promoted Real Estate in the Baja
Times. Everything I have written has been solely about life and experiences here on the peninsula.
Sorry that bothers you so much...

I ran into a guy in mainland coastal town, in the 70s, motel owner, fat gringo type, Mexican wife cooking while he is in hammock....kids running all
around him. I told him my last name and he flinched, old gang name from Chicago, he wondered if I was related, or made. Then out came the story....
showed me the bullit holes, scars from shoot outs, he was from Chicago, gang, dropped out, made his "fortune" illegally importing Arrow shirts and
Maidenform bras. Married Mexican, bought hotel, dug holes in back yard at night, waking me up, digging out chests from under the palms...I left, no
more questions....no more answers...just an amazing story of someone "getting out of Dodge".
They Yucatan used to be the Australia or Siberia of Mexico, prisoners sent there to rot. Lots of Xpats have indeed fled their lives in the US. One can
figure that of the ten people you meet, one will be Sociopathic and will look either too smooth or too good.

While this has been true for many years, the US Marshals have had an office in Mexico for some time now. They have been very successful in bringing
these criminals home to the USA to face justice . Its the internet and cable news that rats these characters out..

We Met With Jose Amate
Ohh, maybe seven-to-eight years ago. He was charming, well spoken and very persuasive in trying to get us interested in his resort project in
Ensenada, which at that time was called Rancho Ensenada.
Another principal in this property was one Aaron Funk, who, I believe was involved in the creation of the Mexicaland website.
Amate aka "whoever" alluded to having a mysterious criminal past and several legal problems in the U.S.
Whether those declarations were real or just conversation to make him seem more interesting, romantic or dangerous...ehh, who knows.
A lot of con men like to develop "mystery backgrounds" because it attracts the naive who feel that their life may have lacked excitement or danger, so
they attracted to the idea they can acquire a bit of this by association.
We did not do any business with Sr. Amate "whoever" because he couldn't deliver due diligence on the property or the project.
Amate wrote a column for the Gringo Gazette North for many years, promoting investment in San Felipe and pontificating on how his "legal offices"
could assist the Gringo buyer with "safe" investments in properties in Mexico.
I could only read those "special" pieces of wisdom when I knew that my gag reflex was safely under control.

Convicted Sex Offenders
It is becoming increasingly difficult for convicted sex offenders to live in certain areas of the U.S. Depending on their convictions, some are
required to have their identities and residences available for disclosure to the general public. Laws vary from state to state but the trend is for
stiffer registration requirements nationally. This is obvious motivation for them to move out of the U.S. I am unaware, however, if failing to
disclose that they are moving outside of the country is a crime. ...I am also unaware if Mexico has a registration requirement for these types. I am
guessing they don't..

That's a real nice babelfish translation fulano - thanks for revealing something I already suspected - your spanish is pretty limited - try - Quien
con perros se echa, con pulgas se levanta. - it sounds better.
