    Why did Crawford and Company decided to get into this NYAG danger rendering, by getting involve in such a rubbish Sarbanes Oxley, NYSE CRD stockholders fraud, while the insignificant revenue that the Crawford Chile operation means for the entire company?

    On September of 1999, Crawford and Company legally purchased Crawford Peru, afterwards legally opened offices in Ecuador, and most recently -as Mr. Jeff Bowman´s new CV states on company’s web site http://www.crawfordandcompany.com – “legally participated in the acquisition of Brazil’s largest independent adjusting firm, moving Crawford and Company one step further in supporting the long-term business goals for their worldwide clients in Brazil and Latin America” ?.

    Why things where done correctly following local legal procedures and business regulations in Peru, Ecuador and Brazil, and not in Chile.?

    Putting in such risk the entire Crawford and Company operation, for maybe saving only useless coins, was in deed a very stupid thing to do by Mr. Javier Carvallo in Chile. Most terrible if your integrity and image are the greatest capital of this risk management services business company.
    Most horrible if Crawford and Company is a NYSE publicly held company.

    The man is right!
    Why acting according to the law in Peru, Ecuador and Brazil, and not doing the same elsewhere?

    Crawford’s integrity is sure under the limits in Chile.
    But its integrity is also questioned worldwide because of this same mater. Someone has to overview the complete reality of Crawford’s international operation, in order to tell us all; which offices legally and financially belong to the company and which do not.

    The question to start with can be:
    1. Who gave such instructions to act as swindlers and rip-offs at a foreign country…?
    2. Was Mr. Jeffrey Bowman or Mr. Norman Mitchell the brain of such stupidity.
    3. Or worse… was Mr. Javier Carvallo (the Chilean fellow) who took this responsibility acting as a crock by himself…?

    What ever the answer is…
    In English or in Spanish…For Americans and Chilean people….
    In simple numbers: That idiot decision caused a mayor economic catastrophe in the CRD-a and CRD-b stockholders value.

    Who is going to pay us back this loses?

    Ripley’s “Believe it or not”:

    At http://www.crawfordandcompany.com Spanish version web site, you may find today the following links regarding the company’s local and overseas operations:

    1. Estados Unidos |
    2. Canada |
    3. Latinoamerica|
    4. Caribe|
    5. Crawford Chile|
    6. Reino Unido |
    7. Europa & Africa |
    8. Asia & Pacífico

    So…. It is quite obvious that Crawford ´s executives don’t give a dam **** on what Spitzer is today investigating regarding its December 9th 2004 subpoena , because even though Crawford Chile is today known and recognized as a Crawford & Company´s international fraud, it’s still linked to the official Crawford and Company web site.

    Here’s Tom Crawford’s integrity show on the WEB

    http://www.crawfordandcompany.com is actually sponsoring http://www.crawford-chile.cl and http://www.crawford.cl on the WEB, by a direct link at the company’s official web site.

    As we all know today, by simply reading this Insurance Journal article , Crawford Chile is not legally or financially related with Crawford and Company…Therefore analysing this sole sponsorship fact it proves Crawford´s lack of integrity and permanent intentional misleading information to its NYSE shareholders.

    Pero como es posible que hasta la pagina web de Javier Carvallo sea fulera. ¿Hasta donde vamos a llegar en Chile con semejantes tropelias y fraudes?
    Si todos los de Crawford Carvallo S.A. son ademas de unos vendidos, en definitiva unos “Chantas”, que les queda a el resto de los Liquidadores Oficiales de Seguros en Chile, que son reconocidamente “pelientos”.

    Este mercado ya no sorprende a nadie.

    Mr. Jeff Bowman in his recently (Feb. 2005) updated CV to be seen at:
    http://www.crawfordandcompany.com/bio_jb.html

    states that:

    1. “He is responsible for all international operations of Crawford, an Atlanta-based risk and insurance services firm with operations in 67 countries worldwide”.

    Further on the statement goes:

    2. “In 1997, Crawford appointed Bowman to take operational control of Canada, the Caribbean, and Latin America, and in 1998, he managed Crawford’s purchase of Adjusters Canada, Inc., creating Canada’s largest adjusting network”

    Finally it states that:

    3. “During 1999, Bowman expanded Crawford’s holdings in South America, directing the purchase of Peru-based Certiser S.A and opening offices in Ecuador. Most recently, he led the acquisition of Brazil’s largest independent adjusting firm, moving Crawford one step further in supporting the long-term business goals for their worldwide clients in Brazil and Latin America”.

    This leads everyone to understand that Mr. Bowman is in charge of at least:

    A)- Crawford & Company’s owned offices in 67 countries worldwide.

    But the only ones listed on such 67 Crawford & Company’s worldwide owned offices schedule are:

    i) Crawford & Company’s Canada’s Adjusters Canada Inc.
    ii) Crawford & Company’s Peru’s Certiser S.A.
    iii) Crawford & Company’s Crawford-Ecuador.
    iv) Crawford & Company’s Crawford-Brazil.

    Therefore:
    There are 63 (94%) missing countries worldwide in this Bowman’s statement list that someone at the Crawford’s Corporate Executive Management team must clarify to all the NYSE shareholders that where informed (late Junuary 31st annual report) that the company owned 700 offices in 67 countries.

    If there are 94% of missing Crawford & Company’s owned offices worldwide on Bowman’s stated list, that shall mean that the value of CRD-a and CRD-b shares must be re- adjusted after NYAG Eliot Spitzer’s investigation according to the same percentages.

    Meaning that it may be a mayor drop down of each share in 94%.

    My dear God…!
    This recalls 1999 WorldCom fraud at NYSE to me.

    Is this the reason why Crawford’s NYSE CRD-a & CRD-b shares are dropping loose since Spitzer’s December 9th subpoena?

    Correct.
    Crawford’s management team executives are ripping you off!
    Just like worldcom executives did on NYSE late 1999.
    These guys have no real financial and legal overseas operation.
    Crawford Chile as well of the rest of the missing 63 Crawford & Company’s overseas operations are a joke.
    That is the reason why there stocks are currently going on a mayor financial nose dive.
    Save your ***. Dump it ALL…

    Fellow´s:

    This here enclosed, is my today’s final analysis of the accumulated NYSE CRD-A and CRD-B stock losses since December 9th NYAG Eliot Spitzer’s subpoena.

    If you are a NYSE stockholder, you have the right to know that the Crawford Chile, Javier Carvallo´s Chilean affair (where this Carvallo Chilean ape is expecting to get an 80 thousand US dollars in future penalty returns, if he is lucky enough to get it someday), have cost to the Company at the moment; 50 million 3 hundred US dollars.

    If that is the kind of primates that are currently running the international operation of the Latin-American wing of Crawford & Company under Jeff Bowman’s directions, the only thing we may expect in the near future is more stupidity losses to be held.

    My advise for CRD-A and CRD-B NYSE stockholders therefore today is simple and easy:
    Drop them all…now!.

    US$ CRD-A Loss 16.178.495,36
    US$ CRD-A Loss 34.081.871,04
    Total CRD losses 50.260.366,40
