In reply to Daphne Caruana Galizia. Totally right. I was thinking naive more in the way he underestimated certain people such as yourself and those who helped leak his dirt.

Anything but naïve. Not particularly young, either, or silly. But definitely crooked, stupid and absolutely disastrous.

In reply to Julian Mompalao de Piro. I am staying away purely not to give the Labour Party TV station the opportunity to turn me into the story with their harassing cameras following me around. Otherwise I would love to be there.

Pity Daphne isn’t going to Valletta on Sunday to hear the gratitude and admiration of the thousands who will be there.

So maybe now we know the reason why Konrad Mizzi is claiming that his Panama company only has €92.

Your statement for sure must have shocked him and he might have moved his assets elsewhere (just in case you really knew about it) but kept the setup activated with the barest capital possible ready to be used as soon as he feels safe that you were bluffing.

Unfortunately for him, you weren’t bluffing so he could have tried to play the “worst case scenario trump card” that he had no substantial capital invested in the company.

No. It wasn’t meant to be a reference to anything other than this:

http://nomadcapitalist.com/2013/06/03/the-best-non-extradition-countries-to-be-invisible/

Maybe next time I should have been specific and said “Do a Ronnie Biggs and flee to Rio in Brazil.” But then maybe that reference won’t work in Malta either. Though it should – after all, I’m Maltese.

After reading this article I am going to suffer from nightmares for rest of my life. The description of Pawlu Lia’s face in court. It gives me the creeps.

In reply to Daphne Caruana Galizia.

Ah, but his reactions are anything but normal, which would probably explain why Joseph Muscat specifically sought him out to be his “star candidate” four years ago – only one year prior to the general election – when Konrad Mizzi himself had never spoken to him previously.
