The U.S. Attorney's Office in Birmingham, Ala., on Thursday filed a criminal complaint accusing van der Sloot of wire fraud and extortion for allegedly trying to solicit $250,000 from an unnamed person in Alabama in exchange for information on the whereabouts of Holloway's body.

The person wired a partial payment of $15,000 to a financial institution in the Netherlands on May 10, according to the complaint. The information that van der Sloot provided to that person was false, federal authorities said.

“We are committed to protecting citizens from unscrupulous individuals who attempt to financially exploit a person’s deepest fears and greatest loss,” U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance said.

The maximum sentence on the extortion count is 20 years in prison.

1. Wow! What a POS...

Karma will be spending time in a Peruvian prison after killing that poor Peruvian girl.

2. Why do I think the "unnamed person" is Jon Benet Ramsey's father? He and

Holloway's mother have been an item for at least 2-3 years.

3. On TV they said it was a "sting" operation

since they couldn't get Aruba to file charges they set up a sting so they could catch him and put him in jail for at least this in the US>

4. This guy is evil.

I don't think he's ever going to get to serve his 20 years in the US.

[atreides1]

10. If he's convicted in Peru...

...I doubt he's going to get through his first 6 months alive. So, don't worry about whether he's going to serve any time in the US.

5. Sociopath.

Very scary.

[Frank Cannon]

6. This guy goes beyond sociopathic.

He's like the Joker, for crying out loud.

13. psychopath is more like it

7. I only hope

they put this dickweed in Bubba Grandes Cell.

[Submariner]

8. Life in a Peru prison will not be kind to this punk

He's toast.

[jimmil]

9. Yep, just consider it a death sentence.

If they catch him and throw him in jail/prison he is as good as dead.

[HooptieWagon]

11. I think that's appropriate. n/t

[hamsterjill]

12. Exactly Five Years

One report that I read yesterday indicated that it was exactly five years between the two killings.

That makes me think the little twit was playing a game, trying to see if anyone would put two and two together, and trying to see if he could get away with another murder exactly five years from the first.

I hope there is so much evidence this time that there is no way his wealth and connections can help him get away!

[fascisthunter]

14. serial killer

[eShirl]

15. he must have had a subconscious need to get caught

i.m.o.

[shanti]

17. well, seeing that his father is now dead

and HE is the one who covered for him the first time, only a mentally ill person would commit the same crime and expect the same result no connections anymore? he is toast. good riddance to bad rubbish, i say to the little POS.
