Castro the Multimillionaire

Fidel Castro’s son enjoying a millionaire vacation, while Cubans are starving

While Cubans in Cuba have an average salary of $20 a month and cannot buy enough food to feed their families, Antonio Castro, one of the sons of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, spent several weeks in June of 2015 cruising the Aegean Sea on his 160 foot yacht with a group of friends and several bodyguards. 

A few years ago,  Forbes magazine estimated Castro’s fortune in at least 900 million dollars. Many of those who are familiar with the dictator’s business believe that Forbes was too conservative. 

The Cuban dictator runs Cuba as if it was his own farm and the 11 million poor Cubans as his slaves. Castro’s businesses include the Convention Palace (Palacio de Convenciones); CIMEX; MEDICUBA; resort hotels and much more. 

Castro has been accused of murdering thousands of innocent Cubans; of betraying the ideals of the Cuban Revolution; of murdering many of those who helped him reach power; of keeping 11 million Cubans enslaved and many other crimes, but it seems that none of those accusations bother the Cuban dictator as much as Forbes saying that he is almost a billionaire, even though his salary is supposed to be around 700 Cuban pesos per month. 

Manuel de Beunza, a defector who used to to handle the finances for the Ministry of the Interior when he was a top officer in Cuba’s intelligence services, told El Nuevo Herald on Sunday that Castro has a bank in the UK that is completely controlled by him.

The bank is Havin Bank LTD and used to be known as Havana International Bank LTD. De Baunza, who thinks that Castro’s fortune exceeds the $900 million reported by Forbes, told El Nuevo Herald that Cuba created 270 corporations around the world that report directly to Castro.

DYI Comments: In the end all socialists become part of the criminal class as exemplified by the two Castro brothers Fidel & Raul.  Venezuela is the latest example where food is in short supply along with medications plus high unemployment and run away inflation.  Socialism works only up to the point when you run out of other peoples money!  Yet mass populations to this day are tricked into believing they can have unlimited largess from their governments.
