ALMOST two weeks after being remanded to prison by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan on fraud charges, Floyd Primo called “Wild Buck” was Wednesday slapped with another charge.Primo 31, of Lot 80 D’Urban Street, Georgetown is accused of obtaining the sum of $5M between May 1 and May 31, 2015 from Karen Persaud.

“Wild Buck” reportedly obtained Persaud’s money by pretending that he was in a possession of a plot of land at Republic Park, East Bank Demerara, which he could have sold to her.

The businessman denied the charge. His attorney George Thomas, in a bail application, told the court his client was not the one whom the complainant had the agreement with but that it was one Marjorie Edinboro, who was also fingered in the fraud probe.

Police Prosecutor Deniro Jones made no objection to bail but requested that it be set at a substantial amount with reporting conditions.

Magistrate McLennan granted Primo $500,000 and adjourned the matter until June 29.

However Primo is currently on remand for swindling Persaud for over $13.7 M in another house lot scam.

On June 3, Primo was charged for obtaining over $13.7 from Karen Persaud in May last year by pretending that he was the owner of a piece of land located at Lot 40 Public Road, Kitty, Georgetown. He had denied this charge.

The matter was heard before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan who remanded him after the prosecution strongly opposed bail on the ground that Primo has pending matters in court and more importantly a wanted bulletin was issued for him in 2015 and he had failed to turn himself over law enforcement officers.
