In my blog I cover one of MatlinPatterson's directors, Lap Wai Chan who is a fugitive from Brazil. Lap Wai Chan had attempted to siphon off some Variglog funds into MatlinPatterson's Swiss bank account. MatlinPatterson had purchased Variglog, Brazil's airline. Brazil attempted to confiscate Lap Wai Chan's passport. Seems he is Brazilian, Chinese and American - indeed a worthy recipient of TARP funds.
