Dear Editor
I READ Stabroek News (Monday, January 14): “Charrandass Persaud says enquired about gold price for clients.”

I have listened the teleconference and heard Charrandass saying he had no money, that he owed the bank for a Prado SUV he had bought; yet he wants us to believe that he was buying US$1,000,000 (about GUY$210 million ) in gold for his clients!

Charrandass is not a gold dealer or a gold exporter. He could not legally buy US$1m in gold! I heard him say for ‘a’ client, not clients. Whether it’s one or more, they are rich!
As for taking a lie detector test, this is absolute rubbish. He said that he decided to vote against the government after hearing what Minister Harmon said during the debate about Mr. Jagdeo and his fake marriage; but the same man said that before he voted he contacted ‘my friend’ Peter Ramsaroop, Jagdeo’s adviser, for security and alerted a Canadian diplomat that he would leave the country. You don’t need a lie detector to tell when you already know.

But he would not return to Guyana for any such test, he has already made excuses when he said at the conference of 20 persons that when he comes to Guyana, the police will put him in a thick cell, and he would be found handing inside it. He is now accusing the police with planning his suicide. All I want to say is that decent people have to distance themselves from tricksters such as Charrandass.
