Ocean City businessman Mike Ramadan’s life has been in turmoil since his two brothers were arrested May 15 and charged in connection with a cigarette smuggling ring.
Because he is their sibling, some people and at least two newspapers, but not Ocean City Today, have made it appear he was involved somehow by naming his businesses and his office.
“I’ve been staying out of my stores to avoid confrontations,” Mike Ramadan said Monday in the office of his attorney, Mark Cropper. “It’s really playing havoc with my life.”
The newspapers that published names of his businesses and the location of his office in articles about his brothers, Basel and Samir Ramadan, “were literally directing people to come. Literally telling people where to come and “let’s do damage,’ “ he said.

That's really too bad , I don't feel sorry for these two guys in the least.
ReplyDeleteI hope both are put in jail forever and all the stores close.
If what Mike Ramadan says is true, then "HE" should be the first one to speak out publicly, for himself, against the islamic terrorism that the sale of these untaxed cigarettes supported. That includes speaking out about his terrorist supporting brothers, too. The carefully formulated attornies statement is a "Pity Me" piece. Separate yourself publicly Mike Ramadan, from terrorism and your brothers, or be lumped in, you can't have it both ways. If you have any truth, then speak for yourself, don't use a paid mouth piece. At this point in time, until proven other wise, guilty by association, works for me.
ReplyDeleteOh, he's a real angel and ideal citizen, too. Look at his court case history - MD Judiciary Court Case Search.
ReplyDeleteThe lesson learned is dont smuggle cigs because its worse than just about any crime and you will do the time.
