| Pension Vigilantes Sentenced for Kidnapping |
| 2010-03-23 |
| Four German pensioners have been found guilty of kidnapping James Amburn, the financial adviser they blamed for US property investments that went awry. When the group's attempts to recover their money in the courts failed, they kidnapped Mr Amburn from his home in Speyer, Rhineland-Palatinate, in western Germany last June. They tied him up with tape and gagged him, put him in a box in the boot of a car and drove him to Bavaria. Along the way, they beat him up, breaking two ribs when he tried to flee during a stop. They finally locked him in a well-prepared basement of a house close to the Chiemsee lake in Bavaria. He was then forced to sign papers promising to refund the money the pensioners had lost in the US property crash. But Mr Amburn managed to insert a message to call police in a fax sent to his Swiss bank. The bank then raised the alarm with German police, who stormed the lakeside house. |

| #1 Banksters and their allies should pay attention. Actions have consequences and eventually their frauds will trigger 'investor rage' which will come back to bite them on their sorry asses. |
