But the warranty deed on file at Wasco County Courthouse lists Middlebay Trade Ltd. as the buyer. The company is based in Victoria, a city in the Seychelles, a tiny Indian Ocean island nation.

19. Vertical International Relief Fund ("Vertical") is an alter ego front company of Babikian. Vertical is a Wyoming purported non-profit corporation organized on October 29, 2012, of which Babikian has at all relevant times held himself out as "chief asset manager."

Fascinating!

A Hong Kong hedge fund acquired Babikian’s position in Copa and the vineyard, Martin said.

I agree with the commentator who said he suspects the HK hedge fund is Babs. At least it seems possible to me that Babs has an interest in it.

His wife Alima certainly was helpful...

I put dibs on the car already and Janice put dibs on the plane!

We will get our bounty eventually!
