COViSAL For Justice & Restitution _______________________________________ For a fistful of dollars two gangs continue to fleece innocent families Wednesday, November 18, 2015 • Jaime Escalona speaking on behalf of COViSAL denounces millions of dollars in fees, and the fleecing of thousands of innocent families. • What’s been recovered by the US Receiver and Joint Liquidators during almost 7 years, goes to pay exorbitant attorneys’ fees and expenses.
