FLORIDA LOTTO WINNER FROM AMERICAN AIRLINES

SILENTLY KILLING WIFE

“I NEED HELP TODAY”, CRIES OUT DESPERATE SPOUSE

Miami, Florida

American Airlines mechanic and Florida Lotto jackpot winner Arnim Ramdass stayed on the run today, hiding from the Miami Dade Police while this month his deserted wife nearly bled to death in their foreclosed Miami area home.

Ramdass, who won a multi-million dollar jackpot in June 2007, was quickly splashed all over the international media when his wife Donna Campbell exposed his scheme to defraud her, by not sharing the Lotto marital asset while fleeing the couple’s home.

Ramdass has engineered a complex web of maneuvers to turn his wife’s life into a living hell, leaving her in economic ruin, while he bobs, weaves and hides with the Lotto treasure.

Just Some of Donnas’ Real Life Inferno:

* Within months of the Ramdass disappearance, her story received celebrity level coverage in print, the Internet and TV. Donna endured a mock courtroom hearing on Fox News’ Geraldo where Mark Fuhrman and Mark Geragos expressed adamantly that they supported the Ramdass “win and bolt” strategy all the while knowing nothing of the case details.

* Employing process servers, doing intensive background checks, issuing summonses and pleadings with the MIAMI-DADE COUNTY AIRPORT POLICE, Donna continues to embark on a two year long quest to simply serve her husband civil court and divorce pleadings. Ramdass has yet to be served.

* AMERICAN AIRLINES CREDIT UNION failed to serve Ramdass for the Miami home foreclosure proceedings.

* Donna remains in shock that the MIAMI-DADE COUNTY AIRPORT POLICE cannot serve this American Airlines mechanic who works full time at the American Airlines Miami International Airport facility.
* Feeling like she had hit rock bottom, Donna watched in horror as Ramdass suddenly showed up at her home with another American Airlines employee and a moving truck to remove the washer and dryer forcing her to do laundry by hand. “He also removed the living room furniture and the bedroom set” Donna said. “Now I sleep on the floor.”
* Multiple medical problems which scream “Help Me” put Donnas’ life at risk while she can scrounge up only pennies to survive day to day.

* The medical horror nearly exploded in a tragic end earlier this month as Donna bled uncontrollably from a gynecological tumor and required emergency surgery to stop the hemorrhaging. Donna was “discharged to home” from the hospital without assistance from social services only to return to a foreclosed home which she will be locked out of within days having no place to go.

* During a recent hospital stay, to intensify her hardship, Donna’s lawyer Sara Saba, Esq. withdrew from Donna’s case for no legal reason.

“I will be locked out of my home within days”, said Ms. Campbell, former Trinidad and Tobago Beauty Queen. “I must find him now! In the last three months, I have made four trips to the Emergency Room due to uterine hemorrhaging. I also have anemia, hypertension, COPD and an autoimmune disease for which I require photochemotherapy. I cannot afford treatments or doctor visits. I have no money. My husband has sabotaged my life!”, she added.

Wife of nearly 5 years to Florida Lotto Winner Arnim Ramdass, Donna Campbell has struggled mightily in the legal system. She recounts the following events of the past few weeks:

“Without an attorney to assist me, I went before Family Court Judge Bernard Shapiro in Miami, representing myself, while actively bleeding heavily from my uterus and almost unable to stand up due to terrible fatigue from the hemorrhaging. I pled to get relief from the court and again was DENIED because my husband had not been served. “Hopeless again, I had to return to the hospital still sick and bleeding.”

“Then, just last week after my hospital discharge, I went before another South Florida court to ask Judge Jack Tuter to issue a continuance or extension on the foreclosure, but again was DENIED.”

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP DONNA as she is unable to afford the luxuries of legal representation. Anyone reading this article that may know his whereabouts or can assist please reach her directly via email dlaguerre@gmail.com

I think some of you guys need to look up the definition of “marital funds.” Any money you bring into that house is marital funds. There is no such thing as “sharing if he wants to.” He gave all that up when he said “I do.” If he was rich when they got married, that’s different. But she probably married him for love when he was jus another broke schmuck. Even if she is only a housewife, whatever she does in that home contributes to his being available to go out every day and make a living. And have you ever read any of the estimates of what wife- and mother-hood is actually worth monetarily (think combination full-time prostitute/live-in housekeeper/wet-nurse/nanny/chaufer/accountant)? It’s in the six figures. And you’re gonna tell me she’s not entitled to the spoils of him contorting the family budget for years? Get a grip!
Anyway, this guy is totally stupid. He won $600,000.00. After taxes that will be about $400,000.00. Now, instead of getting the benefits of all of that money while living at home with his wife, he gets to be by himself with half of that – $200,000.00. If he is an airline mechanic, that’s probably less than three years’ salary – totally not worth it. Plus now he’ll loose half of what he already owned in the divorce settlement. He’ll be worse off than he was before. What an idiot!

Judy, by “marital funds,” you mean the money that Arnim Ramdass earned and shared with his wife. I realize the law sees it differently, but rightfully, the money he earns and wins is his money and Campbell deserves no more of it than he would voluntarily give to her.

Dear Ms. Cimma,
How do you know he was using marital funds to play the lottery. I know lots of men who hands their wives their paycheck and are given an allowance for their lunch of fun money. If he chooses to buy lottery tickets with it then I think it’s belongs to him and should only share if he wants to. I would hope that being married to Ms. Campbell would mean that he cares enough for her to want to share. I don’t think any of us if given an allowance and uses it to buy something for ourselves (shoes, purses, clothes) would want to share. I know that seems simplistic, but it holds the same value. It seems that when it’s stuff like that it justifies holding on to it, but when it comes to money it must be shared no matter what the original agreement is between two people. Just a thought to think on, also I could be full of it.

Mrs. Campbell most surely deserves half of Mr. Campbell’s lottery ticket. He admittedly used marital funds to purchase the winning lottery ticket. He had been purchasing lottery tickets for years. Since community marital funds were used for the winning ticket, Mrs. Campbell deserves half of the winnings.
