Indiana couple sentenced for extortion hoax

An Indiana couple were sentenced Thursday in a cruel hoax in which the two extorted money from a man who believed he was helping the woman and her children avoid being tortured by her husband.

Juan Hacha and his wife Ixchel Guadalupe Solano were sentenced to 87 and 42 months in federal prison Thursday for their roles in extorting more than $ 50,000 from a man who had a previous love interest in Solano, officials said today in a news release from theU.S. Department of Justice. U.S. District Judge Ruben Castillo also ordered the couple to pay restitution of $ 54,834 to the victim.

Hacha and Solano, both formerly of Hammond, pleaded guilty in February to conspiracy and communicating extortion threats by phone, officials said.

Between April and September of last year, the couple manipulated the victim and made him pay thousands of dollars to prevent Hacha, 32, from harming Solano, 30, and her children, officials said.

In more than 25 calls, Solano cried and screamed as if she was in pain and told the victim she had been shot in the leg and her fingers had been broken, officials said.

She also told the victim she did not know where her two daughters were and begged him to help her find them, officials said.

Hacha threatened to kill the victim and his family if he didn't get the cash he demanded, officials said. The couple demanded $ 75,000 but received about $ 54,843 from the victim after their threats.

The victim said in court Thursday the constant fear for himself and his family and for Solano and her children ruined his life, officials said.

When the man turned to authorities for help, authorites found Hacha and Solano together at a restaurant in Munster, Ind., and discovered the calls were a hoax.

A good analysis on Rense about poor judgment both on the pro and con side. www.rense.com Other clues: 1A) From an air-force fighter pilot: The two craft BANK LEFT as they fly off. WHY? Banking is strictly a aerodynamic movement for turning, certainly not necessary for anti-gravity or non-aerodynamic craft. These fly like snowflake shaped jets turning-- nonsense, no need to bank at all. 1) A close look at Vue 6 shows a real liking for palm trees in their demo videos, and the ability to make all foliage look individual rather than clones. Very suspicious. 2) the film takes place at twilight, and with a bright sunset, which could have hid significant CGI flaws and giveaways. Very convenient. 2) There is not a single human in the video, which is next to impossible at this time to CGI perfectly. All these buildings on a beach, and no people anywhere with massive UFOs flying overhead?? 3) Even though we do ...
