Just recently a legitimate banking institution lost all their clients money.Many Americans lost their entire life savings...This is not the only time this happens.....White collar crime in Costa Rica is under reported...So,for those who believe that Costa Rica is going to have the same standards as the U.S.(FDIC)think again......If enough gringos polly parrot the latest high yielding investment products they are involved in, then,many soon follow to their financial ruination just like they did.....Invest at your own risk !...One thing is constant, the conveyor belt of North Americans out of Costa Rica.
