Pablo is off to Europe again... probably DEC 2015 for a few years (?). What about visa regulations? Nice enough guy, knows how to play people ... He won't take your savings, but he's good for a sob story (hasn't had contact with his cancer dying Dad). Make up your own mind, I was stupid enough to trust him ... apparently he's married and maybe even a Dad ???
