Hmmm. I have absolutely no idea why Jossy Mansur would decide to take a shot at Aruban Casino owner Mike Posner in a new Dairio story - but it seems he is. Brings to mind the title of a Tom Wait's song - What's He Doing In There? Interesting.
From what I understand, Posner is no shrinking violet, with the wherewithal to fire back, so to speak.
To make matters worse, the person in question, Mike Posner, has been able to obtain a permit to operate a casino, where anyone who wants to have a casino in Aruba and the majority of other countries in the world have to have a clean criminal record.
Recently, this information has started to circulate in the U.S. as well, and seeing that it hasn’t been many days since via the American media false information was given that Aruba is a sort of den for criminals and even terrorists, the matter of the Aruba casino owner with a criminal past in the US, is going to help those who want to implement a total boycott against Aruba.
Looks like the pot doesn't appreciate the kettle ... stay tuned.
Amazing what money and connections can do for ya!

It's still the campaign against the government, but we know Jossy and in Aruba they know his reasons.

I think the last paragraph in this story says it all:

there may be a striking coincidence here:

excerpt:
Acting through his underboss, Rocco Ernest Infelise, head of one of the largest "street crews" in Chicago, Ferriola directed Jahoda to lure 51-year-old Robert Heyden Plummer to the outfit's elegantly appointed "Murder Mansion" in northern Libertyville Township. The secluded Lake County mansion in the woods once belonged to a local millionaire, Bruce Rouse, and his wife, Darlene, until they were brutally murdered in 1980. Their case was never solved [***CONVENIENT***]. The mob bought up acreage and spent $50,000 converting the former residence into a high stakes casino that employed eighteen full-time people [***THE ELDERS***] to accommodate the gambling high rollers and fun- loving clientele who parked their cars in the rear [***SHANGO-"THERE IS MORE THAN ONE HOUSE OF MUSIC"***]. Reportedly, the outfit raked in $400,000 for just fifteen nights of casino gambling [***SHANGO-"OF GOLD BRICKS"***]. According to Jahoda, political protection was supplied by former Lake County Sheriff Tom Brown, whose elected term spanned 1978 - 1982 [***SHANGO-"DIRTYHAND"***}.
The Murder Mansion was an appropriate setting for what Rocky Infelise had in mind. He told the skittish Jahoda a few short hours before a well-planned murder to lead the unsuspecting Bobby Plummer up the flight of stairs to the second-floor casino and "just keep going." Plummer was a "revenue collector" for Ferriola, and a gambler of long standing in the northern suburbs. He also operated the Front Runner Messenger Service [***SHANGO-"MUST FEED THE MESSENGERS"***], a horse-betting parlor in Highwood belonging to Michael Posner, a protégé of Ferriola and a kingpin in Lake County mob vice operations. Plummer, of north suburban Lake Forest, was attacked on the stairway and savagely beaten to death. His body was found in the trunk of his wife's Lincoln Continental in a Mundelein Holiday Inn parking lot. [***HOLIDAY INN PARKING LOT-AGAIN!!!!***]

Don't know if it was too bright of Jossy to put this in print. I think I would watch my back very carefully if I were he.

Is the Mansur family building a casino in Aruba, or do they already own one?

More importantly, how many bordellos do the Mansur's own?

Just saw this post. Never heard of this and I live less than 15 minutes from Libertyville. I'm going to have my husband check this out as he used to be a Lake County Sheriff. Anyone can give me any more details on this?
Posted by: mlskeens | Tuesday, November 22, 2005 at 12:16 AM
And I don't understand. When did this happen? I'm pretty read up on news in Lake County and I've never heard of a casino in Lake County. I'm not too sure I believe this one. Need more proof! Really questionable at this point.

They owned La Cabana Casino.
Don't know if they still do.
Casino is not doing good at all.

Jossy owes Mr.Mike Posner Money.!!!!
Mr. Jossy Mansur lost A case to Mike Friday and owes Him the cash .
Mike said he will give the Money to Charity IF Jossy ever Pays Him !!
Posted by: Key West | Tuesday, November 22, 2005 at 01:11 PM
Jossy had a lot of jabs at local government also in this letter. Not only is he going after Posner, he is saying that Posner (others) are buying favors with local government, and local government is corrupt because they let Posner operate there. He's not giving up post lost election.

It is questionable why Mike Posner can come and go on Aruba and conduct business there but Joe is not allowed on the island at all.

Mr. Posner gave A Hundred thousand Dollars to Beth & the search for Natalee!!
and as the Gentleman he is, Never asked for a Public Thank you from BETH or TES.
A Red Haired Guy didn't know he was staying @ his "House" for Free.
Yet Bashs the yarmulke off Mike At his Place. **Shaking head**
Both he & Beth owe some Respect and and Big thank you to this man .
**he allowed the Al- Bangers to view the Casino tapes that night didn't he?**
This man was & IS A big help.
He gave to TES..did she ? ..NO.
I LIKE MIKE :^)
