Robert Vignola - former

[pan de bono]

Im not sure how many of you on here are familiar with the former Robert Vignola. He was an American that owned a marriage agency in Cali. Recently he was shot to death. well anyway i just found an article on his death at www.totalcolombia/colombian news

I feel the article puts down Robert and his business. tell me what you think especially any of you who knew Robert.

Gunmen on a motorcycle shot and killed the American entreprenuer who introduced foriegn men to " young, sexy, exotic, and beautiful latin Women" via the internet

There was a thread about him a while back - maybe a month or so ago. I'd have posted a link but the search function isn't working right now. If you page back a bit you'll find it.

yea but im not talking about the thread im talking about this Giovanni character that wrote the article on totalcolombia website. he just gives a tainted light about Robert and i just wondered if anyone here on the board knew anything about Robert what was he and his business really like?

[Jeff S]

If I remember that thread, it discussed how he was connected politically and that was what he was assassinated for, not for his agency activities. Some of the guys on the board knew or at least have met him.

As Jeff S said, this topic, including your specific concerns about the picture that has been painted of Robert, has been covered in depth in the following thread:

Lots of good posts from people who knew Robert and his wife and his business personally.

NOTE for Jeff S:

Fortunately or unfortunately, sometimes the best search engine for ANY website (including discussion forums) is... Google.

well this particular article was short but seemed to paint Robert in a distasteful way. It can be found on www.totalcolombia.com , then click on colombian news. Someone has recently suggested that the person who wrote this particular article was Giovonni, and according to this person Giovonni is Roberts ex wife.
I just thought the whole thing to be interesting, that the man is killed and some said it was meant for his wife and others said it was meant for him because he was involoved in colombian politics. then all the sudden the ex from his previous marriage appears on a website and writes a nasty little article. makes you wonder what this is all about?

I have the Search function working again - although it does not return any results for "Vignola". All else seems to be working OK now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
