[edit] Are there two Fernando Floreses?

Section on Erhard says "One reason may be the man who put the deal together, a prominent Costa Rican government official and friend of Erhard's named Fernando Flores-Banuet. He just happens to be the same individual whose San José charity served as a conduit for the $15 million Zurich loan to Erhard in 1981. [5]" Is Fernando Flores-Banuet the same Fernando Flores of this article? FF-B is Costa Rican, FF is Chilean. It is not at all clear whether the RickRoss site and other source has it all confused. Can somebody disentangle all this? --GangofOne 20:25, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yes, there are two Fernando Flores.

Yes. Fernando Flores Labra, the subject of this biography is from Chile. Fernando Flores Banuet, is from Costa Rica. There is no connection between the two. Someone insists on inserting this here, despite my efforts to correct it in the past! I have deleted all references relating to Fernando Flores Banuet once again. Hopefully it won't be mistakenly inserted once again. GpCA 04:04, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

The information all comes from sourced citations, e.g. Forbes, etc. Do you have sources to support your claims? Smeelgova 15:00, 9 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] There are many Fernando Flores

There are two Fernando Flores. One Labra, the other Banuet. Those are mother's maiden names. The problem is that Flores is like Smith; a very common name. That's why it's important to put the full name of the person: Flores Labra and Flores Banuet would imply two different mothers, in two different countries.

Since this article ties mostly to Werner Erhard and EST, there's a bit of a .... desire to tie all things to all things. But it's a simple factual error.
