Overview
- Speaking on Mitre Live, children’s TV host Diego Topa said he was defrauded after paying in full for two lots tied to Enrique Blaksley’s ventures.
- Topa described years of litigation and said he has moved on, noting he continued working and later bought a new home and started his family.
- Media highlighted that Blaksley is the uncle of LAM panelist Pepe Ochoa, a family link Topa said he did not know.
- Blaksley, dubbed the “Argentine Madoff,” received an eight-year sentence for leading an illicit association, committing hundreds of frauds, and laundering money through Hope Funds.
- Judicial records describe a Ponzi-style scheme that took more than 185 million pesos from over 300 investors, and reports say he currently serves house arrest with an ankle monitor in Tigre under a 380 million–peso bond as other public figures affected largely stay silent.
