Dearest Ronnie of Benchmark:

--- Quote from: "Could it be Psy???" ---We met with his counselor, Ed Pinedo, who, according to Macros, told him that he was going to give him his passport (only form of identification) back.  We left Marcos with Ed Pinedo.  Apparantly, Ed never planned on giving the passport back (read his declaration).  In retrospect, we should have stayed with him until Marcos got what he wanted back (it was Marcos who wanted his passport and property back and it was Marcos who ultimately suggested we call the cops when they refused.  See the video the guest linked to above which proves that).  Benchmark's declarations make it seem almost as if we kidnapped him, which is absolutely absurd.  Marcos never expressed any discomfort at all around us.  He even states in the video above that he was "never better".  I suspect, following our departure, Benchmark either explicitly threatened Marcos or otherwise scared him into compliance.  He had little education or knowledge of the law, was already intimidated by Benchmark, the parents were fully on board with the program, and as such, it would have been very easy to do.  It's also an important note that Marcos himself submitted no declaration, nor did any other current students.  All the declarations were from either current staff, current parents, or educational consultants.

But how is this young man now? Is he still locked up in a cult? Is he living with his psycho, abusive Mom? Did he commit suicide? Where is he today?


Thanks, J.C.

No clue whatsoever to any of that.

Well his probation is something like a year or three. He probably is sitting in the same hotel room he was in before wishing he had gotten his passport.

What was his probation for?

Che Gookin:
The probation he got after Benchmark turned over a confession they had Marco write up to the police?

Yes.. that'd be the probation he got for stealing a staffer's car and hauling ass home to Mexico where his parents promptly had him shipped back.
