I have his card, it is Avdula Memetaj. The girl we snuck out of camp with the group of reporters was not anna's sister or niece.
Neither Ana or Tony asked me to leave several times; they disappeared and were not hanging around the camps after the second day, nor the tv station after he freaked out on me. I was the one who spent a ton more time at the camps, and the tv station (when we were not at the camps) then tony or ana ever did. They were mainly on their own, and I have no idea what they were doing, except they were not at the camps nor hanging around the tv station.
I never saw Tony distribute any money, even a dollar, to anyone during our visits to the camps. From what I know now, Tony was just using this trip as a pr stunt to try and get a downward departure on his sentencing hearing in Texas. As far as the receipt, I have no idea about it, except that the fbi investigated it and I believe offered evidence about it at the texas hearing. There is a transcript of that hearing drifting around.
I was the one who coordinated the trip, got the visas, with the idea that it was just going to be Ana and I. Tony tagged along when I posted that I was going, purely for his own reasons of trying to show the court that he was a great humanitarian and that he should not be sent to prison for an extended federal sentence. TV-Era was the only tv station in the capital of skopje if I recall correctly, and they appeared to be doing financially fine when I was there. If it was not for the press passes from TV-ERA and their translator and transportation, we never would have made it to the camps. They were great hosts, and to attack them after the fact, is just slimey and has no basis in fact. |
