HAROLD LIEBERMAN
The siblings Harold and Alan Lieberman were respected
and prosperous managers of the construction´s item, until the real state crisis
that affected the United States at the end of the 80´s decade reached them.
When Harold rushed from the sixth floor of the building, it put an end to a
history of dollars and success that put an end to both siblings pursued by the
world in less than 10 years and with a not answered question: why they chose
Chile like destination.
Their family was the prototype of people that build an empire starting from
the personal effort.
The Lieberman Corp. the instrument of its success, the company that took them
to be located among 50 more important companies in the United States.
From their Westport office, neighborhood in the suburbs of St. Louis, the two
siblings supervised operations and real state projects in Colorado, Missouri
and other states.
The problems began in 1989, when the debts became untenable and their 15 more
important subcontractors were alerted that the money had been drained.
Although the bank fraud reached the order of the 15 million dollars, on practice
the most harmed were many pensioners that had invested its savings to make possible
the dream of having a house. As soon as the news of Harold Lieberman's suicide
arrived to the room of writing of the St.
Louis Post-Dispatch, the reporter Gives Mihalopoulos it was put in a flight
to Santiago to cover the news.. "This is not only the history of a swindle,
although it has been the biggest that has been made in my city. I am not here
for that of the swindle, it is because it is the history of people that you/they
didn't want to undergo the American justice and that they made all that you/they
could for not being processed. In that the history of the last six years is
summarized", the special correspondent comments.
On Friday, perhaps his feelings about the decease,his lawyer, Hernán Montealegre
opened to the media people the apartment of who was his protected one.
This, just a few hours after he announced that in the outskirts of the
building he had found a flask with half kilo of cyanide of potassium, what took
the risk of the hypothesis that could had been an induced suicide.
At the closure of this edition the remains of Lieberman, after five days of
the authopsy in the Legal Medical Service, they were not cremated and correspondents
to the United States, like they decided to be. After avoiding by all possible
ways during the last six years to go back to the U.S.
UU. , now for Harold Lieberman it´s only paper work.
