Michael Farkas: Chutzpah

It's too soon to tell if his bold expansion plan will pay off, but give him points for chutzpah.

That's one way of putting it.

Based at the Clearwater-St. Petersburg International Airport, both "Cocaine One," and its twin, a second DC9 (N120NE) were being used by an operation which includes the former head of the CIA proprietary airline used to ferry TOW missiles to the Ayatollah Khomeini's regime in Iran, as part of the Iran Contra Scandal.


Adnan Khashoggi lieutenant Ramy El-Batrawi, who supplied one of the two DC9s, is the former President of an admitted CIA subsidiary airline.

Adnan Khashoggi and Ramy El-Batrawi. Where haven't I heard those names before?

But none of this does anything to explain Ramy El-Batrawi and Adnan Khashoggi's other major connection with the founder of SkyWay Aircraft, Miami attorney Michael Farkas. Their hidden connections may reveal a larger, previously secret organization.


Last month the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Khashoggi and Ramy Al Batrawi, his lieutenant for the past 20 years, with stock fraud in U.S. District Court for Central California. Both men are both currently on the lam after being accused of orchestrating a $130 million fraud, called the "Stockwalk case," involving the stock price of another firm headed by el-Batrawi called GenesisIntermedia.


GenesisIntermedia was incorporated by the long-time attorney of the man once reckoned by the U.S. Government to be the biggest drug smuggler in American history...CIA pilot Barry Seal.

Along with GenesisIntermedia, the stock of two other companies was used to generate fraudulent loans in the Stockwalk scam. One was a company called Holiday RV. Stores. The other was Imperial Credit Industries.


Michael Farkas is involved with both firms.


Holiday R.V. Stores was owned and controlled by Michael Farkas, through a holding company he founded called Atlas Recreational Holdings.


Michael Farkas and Adnan Khashoggi were partners in a $300 million scam. It was called "the largest brokerage industry failure in more than 30 years."


Michael Farkas, is also on the board of Genesis Realty, founded by Ramy El-Batrawi, a man who is clearly no piker when it comes to pilfering money from a public company.

Michael Farkas' connections to right wing Israeli political parties, and to Israeli Mossad, have already been ably covered by others. Farkas was listed in 2005 as president of Manhigut USA. This is the US branch of the Israeli Manhigut Yehudit, involved in fundraising for the radical settlers who were trying to resist the Gaza withdrawal.


Suffice it to say that he serves as the American representative of an ultra-nationalist Zionist party in Israel; he is also the American sales agent for anti-missile technology developed by Israel Aircraft Industries, and is a Director of spy technology company CCS, along with individuals with histories so colorful that, were we to start, we could go on about them all day.


Oh, maybe just one example: CCS International's Latin American sales manager, Menachem Cohen, who was convicted in 2002 for illegally exporting passive phone interception equipment to individuals in Colombia conversant with the drug trade.
