Miami man wins $1 billion in imaginary money from Che and Fidel
Gustavo Villoldo, an ex-CIA operative who claims to have personally buried Che Guevara, was awarded a settlement today of $1 billion from Guevara and Fidel Castro by Miami-Dade Judge Peter Adrian. Villoldo claims that the pair was personally responsible for his father’s suicide. It’s the largest civil judgment against the Cuban government.
Villoldo’s father owned a GE distributorship on the island which became a main target of the duo when they decided to whip any remnant of capitalism from the island. Three weeks after he was notified his business would be seized in 1959 he downed a bottle of sleeping pills in order to commit suicide.
Jeremy Alters, Villoldo’s attorney, said he and his client will now attempt to get the money from the frozen assets of the Cuban government. Those assets are in financial institutions throughout the world.
The funds may be almost impossible to obtain — at least in the United States. Most of those assets identified by the Treasury Department in a Cuban bank account in New York were paid out in the Brothers to the Rescue case and in two other Miami cases.
