It
looks like Sigler can get away with murder, and all branches of
government that I have notified are responsible for allowing him to
operate with impunity.
Below I have written a
summary of the government entities I have brought this case to the
attention to, and their responses to me:
1. Police:
I was told by the police that this case first needed to be brought to
the attention of the Ministry of Health, before they would even consider
looking into it. This answer was given, despite offering all of the
evidence, which proved, without a doubt, that Sigler committed crimes,
and despite the existence of a real danger to public health and safety.
2. Ministry of Health:
I have written in previous posts on my blog, of my frustrations with
the Ministry of Health, my several communications, visits with them, all
in the name of trying to bring to their attention a clear and present
danger operating within their jurisdiction, for which they are
responsible in policing. I received confirmation from the Ministry that
Sigler does not have a license to practice medicine in Panama. As my
case clearly shows that Sigler was practicing medicine, without the
proper license to do so, it is clear that Sigler committed a crime,
which, under Panamanian law, brings a minimum sentence of 2-5 years for
practicing a licenced profession, without the proper licence. After
several months of pressuring the Ministry to look at my case, I
eventually reached the office of the Health Director for the
Metropolitan Region, Mr. Jorge Hassan, to whom I provided all of the
evidence of medical fraud, and other crimes committed by Mr. Sigler. Mr.
Hassan agreed with my allegations, and promised to look at the case
immediately, and would contact either me, or my attorney with a
response. Neither me, nor my attorney were ever contacted by Mr. Hassan,
or anyone at the Ministry after the meeting. Furthermore, all attempts
to meet or talk with Mr. Hassan again about the issue, were denied, as
we were told he was either out of the office, or in a meeting. I would
have thought, at the very least, that a man of his position, would have
at the very least, provided a response, even in the event that he, or
the Ministry, found no wrong doing. It was Mr. Hassan’s obligation to
respond to either me or my attorney, as this was an ongoing case,
brought before the attorney general.

3. American Embassy, and UK Embassy:
Both offices offered their condolences for my situation, and agreed
that what had happened atrocious. However, understandably, neither
office could not do more than express their concern, and interest in my
case to the Panamanian authorities. On several occasions, both the US,
and UK offices contacted the Ministry of Health, and the Attorney
General’s office on my behalf, to make it known to them that they felt
my case was important, and should be taken seriously.
4. The DEA in Panama, and the FDA:
These two American entities were who initially prosecuted Sigler for
drug smuggling large amounts of toxic, and illegal substances from Asia,
for sale to US consumers. As mentioned in my previous posts, Sigler
received a reduced sentence for becoming an informant to the DEA. The
DEA is still aware that he is doing seminars in the US, and abroad, and
is still in the business of selling illegal substances to consumers.
5. The University of Sint Eustatius:
As I mentioned in my previous post, Sigler was never awarded a medical
degree. This was confirmed by the current president of the University of
Sint Eustatius, Mr. Milo Pinckney, where Sigler claimed to have
received his medical degree, who I quote, said, they “have no record of
Mr. Sigler having been awarded a degree”. An important side note on this
topic is that Sigler referenced his medical degree from Sint Eustatius
as part of his defense in the DEA/FDA criminal case against him, which
means he lied under oath. In addition, my case clearly shows that Sigler
was practicing medicine in Panama, without
6. District Attorney:
At present I have a case with the district attorney in Panama that has
been open for about 1 year, with no follow up by the Panamanian
authorities at all.
7. Other victims:
In my outing of my experience, I have met, and talked to many other
people who have had similar experiences with Mr. Sigler. I am amazed
that nothing has been done to stop Sigler in Panama, now having
knowledge of the other people he has harmed. I think I am even more
shocked that Sigler hasn’t yet killed anyone.
8. VISA:
Visa is still enabling people like Sigler to sell drugs through their
payment process. They should be accountable for the businesses they have
allowed, and enabled to charge people for illegal, and dangerous goods.
TO date, Visa has refused to provide me the protections they are
obligated to provide to me under their own regulations. In my previous
posts, I have clearly shown how Sigler violated Visa’s regulations. This
evidence was also provided to Visa, but, as mentioned before, they have
continuously refused to honor their own policy.
Sigler
is still being allowed to practice in Panama, with no qualifications.
There is clear evidence, that Sigler has committed crimes in the past,
as evidenced by his prosecutions in the US by the DEA, and FDA, as well
as the case I have brought forth against him in Panama.
Sigler
is a danger to the health, and safety of the public, and should be
stopped, but the entities who are responsible for protecting the public,
and stopping dangerous operations such as Sigler’s have ignored their
duty. This brings to light the amount of corruption within government,
and private institutions in Panama. I would not be surprised that both
sides are working together to silence me, in exchange for monetary gain.
Corruption is not a new concept in Panama. Corruption in Panama is
alive, and thriving.
