End of the history of Dart with the country: the Pilar factory is closed

Copy

The history of the plant is as controversial as that of its owner. Dart was born on April 21, 1955 in Mason, Michigan; son of William Dartwho raised the company of the heat ships and turned it into emporium. In 1986, he transferred the company to his three children by banking on the management of the heir who lives under the greatest conditions: Kenneth. This decision provoked a sordid fight with Tom, Kenneth's brother, who became one of his enemies. Even to the point of offering Argentina as a witness in favor of the country in the "Judgment of the century" Kenneth Dart He continued with the industrial company Dart Container, but quickly developed its business to become a chapter offering better prospects. Financial speculation, especially in the mortgage market. His career continued, with alternations, in others. He specialized in the buying and selling of mortgages, especially those that were about to fall due to lack of payment. At that time, he knew that financial speculation was a source of magical returns, far above the complicated and honest business of producing telgopor vessels. He won his second enemy: the United States government. In 1993, he earned $ 90 million and was required to pay $ 34.5 million to the Consolidated Revenue Fund. At that time, he decided that it was useless to deal with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the national tax collector of the United States, which would change his life forever. Your decision to evade your tax obligations would, for al Capone, the only persecution would be for his activities and would lead him to forced exile in the Cayman Islands to avoid prison. The US collection agency claimed $ 200 million for tax evasion, an amount that required an actual prison sentence at its level. Millionnaire finally and with billions of dollars reserves in the early 90s, Dart decides not to resort to US courts to explain his tax situation and ultimately avoid jail for the IRS claim, and decides a tax exile in two paradises the prosecutors who will henceforth be their residences: the Cayman Islands, their place of work, and Belize, their place of political and diplomatic judgment. Then, like the fable of the scorpion, he would buy bonds of this state when, on the edge of the precipice, the government of this country would have put an end to a part of its debt. Dart is trying Belize for another millionaire affair. He then repeated the operation in Turkey, Kazakhstan and Ecuador before embarking on the local adventure. Previously, he had tried to participate in privatization bonuses in post-communist Russia, which had put his life in danger: the Moscow mafia had not forgiven him indefinite movements and, according to Florida police, his home in Sarasota was burned. intentionally caused by killers sent from Siberia.

Just as Singer set foot in the Republican Party, Dart tried the same thing with the Democrats without success. The one who expelled him was the same Bill Clinton, who expelled him from a party meeting, baduring in a note signed by himself that "I can not even get close to something that connects us to Kenneth Dart". Clinton recalled that Dart had renounced US citizenship during his presidency to avoid paying taxes and reporting on justice, and recalled an attempt to re-enter the country as a diplomatic maneuver for Belize in the United States. a strange consulate in Sarasota. According to the former president, "He is one of the most hated businessmen in South America" for his activity "Vulture Fund."

He then played in a curious episode of debt purchase on the verge of failing by the Brazilian government Fernando Collor de Melo in 1992. Dart won a lawsuit in which the neighboring country was to pay him 955 million dollars, for bonds whose purchase price was 375 million. From this operation he was declared "Enemy of Brazil" and could no longer carry out financial transactions or investments in Brazilian territory. So, when he chose a country to build a telgopor ship manufacturing plant, he had to choose Argentina. It was in 1997, when the plant opened, that it quickly became a monopoly of the sector; position that he held until these years, which explains the least the decision to close the production. About 70 workers will be left without work, to whom the novelty was announced Friday. We are talking about producing until October, when the raw material in stock will be finished, then close the production lines and devote ourselves exclusively to the import.

The story of the Pilar factory went through another dark event on May 21, 2013. That day, the court attacked it by evasion on the order of the Federal Prosecutor No. 7, in charge of Gabriela Ruiz Moralesand pronounced by the Economic Criminal Court No. 1, in charge of Ezequiel Berón of Astrada.
