Venezuelan chavista buys $1.7 mil condo in Miami
I just don't get it. The chavistas say they hate Miami because it's full of Cuban and Venezuelan exiles. Then they turn around and move here.
Case in point: Chavista oil man Eudo Carruyo. He just bought himself a $1.7 million condominium in a ritzy part of Miami. It's at 848 Brickell Key Drive, Numero 404. Chavez yells and screams about representing the poor, but this guy, Eudo "The Treasurer" Carruyo, who's a bigshot at PDVSA, the Venezuelan state oil company, quietly represents the chavista plutocrats who are getting rich off Venezuela's oil boom.
So ... does this creep have a salary that would justify a $1.7 million condo purchase in Miami? This would have to be a second home, at least, because he probably lives in Caracas. Miami's just his crash pad between parties. He might have another over in Houston somewhere, too. Does he really earn this kind of money? While Venezuela's poor cannot get jobs and must shop in Chavez's "free" stores? I think we know the answer to this.
Venezuela is awash in corruption. fidel is having a field day and god knows how much he's getting his hands on. And Chavez's crummy minions, when they are not crashing their $200,000 Lamborghinis (as old Eudo's no-good wastrel son did in Key Biscayne a couple months ago) are busy buying up condos in Miami. How'd you like to have this pig for your neighbor? Watch your silverware!

This is evidence of at least *one* very specific place where some of all those missing millions from PDVSA are going. And at least the Venezuelan people will know one exact address they can go to reclaim some of their country's wealth when good ole Eudo and his other corrupt compinches/hogs are thrown out of office.
I wonder if he paid cash for it?
The Miami-Dade County public records should say if there is a mortgage on the place...
Val, don't you know *someone* in the local real estate field that just might be able to take a look at the public records?
Inquiring minds want to know!

Thanks for posting the address. We should keep a list for the new government of Venezuela once the nightmare is over, so they can expropiate all these bastards.

He didn't pay cash. He has a $1,190,000 mortgage with Colonial Bank. Taxes last year were $20,400 and now will more than double. His mortgage payment + taxes + insurance must be over $10K per month if it is a 30 year mortgage.
That same condo sold for $742,200 in May of 2002.
It more than doubled in less than 3 years! A pretty good deal considering that Chavez and Castro are always saying that the Miami Mafia have ruined this city :)

Eudo is a manager of CITGO, the Venezuelan-owned (or should I say Chavez-owned) refinery and gas station chain. His son died a few weeks ago in a car crash while driving a Lamborghini. This from Petroleum Word some time ago:
"El Lunes de la semana pasada Eudomario Carruyo, hijo del director de PDVSA Eudomario Carruyo, perdio la vida en un lamentable accidente automovilistico donde chocó contra un árbol en Miami. Carruyo, de 35 años, conducía un Lamborghini modelo Gallardo 2004 color silver aluminio, placas P096XC, registrado a nombre de Eudo Carruyo.
Eudomario Carruyo en el pasado trabajó en PDVSA, en el área de Comercio Internacional. Eudomario Carruyo, el padre, ha trabajado por más de 38 años en la industria petrolera-petroquímica nacional, y tiene amplia trayectoria en el área de Finanzas. Fue director de las filiales de Citgo, es director de Pequiven, y desde enero pasado se desempeña como director interno en la estatal petrolera. Tiene bajo su responsabilidad las áreas de Finanzas, Informática, Evaluaciones Económicas Financieras de las filiales/empresas mixtas y de la Unidad de Negocios de Productos Industriales y del Complejo Operacional de José, en el estado Anzoátegui.
Un Lamborghini Gallardo 2005, de 10 cilindros y motor 5.0, tiene un valor aproximado de $175.000 mas o menos 464 millones de bolívares.
Puede justificar Eudomario Carruyo, hijo o padre el dinero para la adquicision de ese vehiculo?"
