Comment on The Sting — 2010
Submitted by Guest on Sun, 11/14/2010 - 00:50
The following reader comment is about Dr. Kioni Dudley's investigative piece on the Aloun Farms "human trafficking" case. Dear Editor, Dr. Dudley’s article, “The Sting,” should be corrected. He states that the Thai victims each received $8,000. In fact, they were kept waiting for more than 6 months from when the court said they would receive the compensation. The amount that the Sou brothers had eventually paid to the court’s escrow account for victims just days before their last sentencing hearing was returned to them in full once their plea agreement was nullified by the judge. The victims have received zero dollars. Regarding “The Sting — 2010" Sincerely, Jamie is correct. My study was completed and printed before the court withheld the $8,000 from each of the workers. That certainly was a stunning instance of justice, wasn't it?! One day before the Thai workers who trumped up these charges were to walk away with an ill-gotten $192,000, the judge snatched it from them. The irony of the situation is that now that entire fortune is being spent on expensive lawyers to combat the lies of the workers who would have gotten the money. Amazingly, through all of this, the Sou brothers insist that, when it is over and they are found innocent, they still want to pay the round-trip airfare for the workers. That money wasn't due the workers until a month after they had left the farm, but the Sous want to complete their obligation. Meanwhile, let me refer Jamie and other readers to a riveting USA Today article about outrageous acts of federal prosecutors: http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/judicial/2010-09-22-federal-pros... My study shows that it really has been agencies of the federal government that have caused this whole fiasco that has destroyed the reputations of the Sou brothers and Aloun Farms, the agencies granting, then cancelling the visas, and the US Prosecutor who brought the suit. This article tells about prosecutors across the nation persecuting innocent people. It's a real education. »
