Cristian Casa Blanca failed with Nuria, who "foretold" his tricks

Cristian Casa Blanca, the clairvoyant who "foretells" the numbers of the lottery, has a not-so-clear past, and in order to learn about it, you no longer need a crystal ball. On her Saturday program, journalist Nuria Piera revealed that the background of the "wizard" showed several accusations of criminal fraud, sexual abuse, name changes, judicial processes in the Mexican justice system, and a large fortune, in spite of his scarce knowledge of the sciences on which he supports his ability to predict the "little numbers".

Cristian Casa Blanca, or Adrian Ronato Salcedo Rosario or the Count Dervy as he is known in Mexico, has a complaint for criminal fraud registered against him for the sale of a sports car that he made to Juan de Dios Ventura, the son of Johnny, and that supposedly he had sold to two other persons besides. According to the testimony the famous merengue singer told the journalist Piera, Cristian asked US$30,000 for the sports car, and they delivered US$25,000. Ventura explained that when they went to transfer the title registration, Cristian went to find the registration paper, but in reality he had taken off to Mexico. Ventura also said that the vehicle had also been subject to an embargo.

In her report, Piera spoke by phone with a representative Justice Department of Zacatecas, Mexico, who reported on the businesses of Count Dervy, together with his two other brothers. He said that Count Dervy would call on persons and ask them for a thousand pesos, saying that he would convert the money into 100,000 pesos. Also in Zacatecas there is a complaint pending for an alleged fraud committed against six other persons to whom he passed himself off as a healer and charged US$3,000 to heal them. He was never arrested because he fled and according to the official that spoke to Piera, they only had some information that said he had gone to Santo Domingo.

In the report there were also testimonials from persons to whom Cristian had given numbers that did not come out in the Lottery, as well as a young girl who he supposedly asked to have sex in exchange for ridding her of a witch's curse. The young woman told Nuria that she went to a consultation and that Casa Blanca told her that she had been cursed and that he would rid her of the curse for RD$25,000, but that there was another way of paying for the work. "He said he would get rid of it if I slept with him", she said.

A little of everything

Cristian says that he knows about astrology, parasitology, that he is an artist, a little clairvoyant, knows a little about numerology. "I have a little of everything, like a sancocho", he says, but he could not answer a question regarding planetary positioning. Nonetheless, the little he knows has helped him to accumulate a fortune, among which, according to Piera, is a luxurious house in the Bella Vista sector of the National District. Cristian says that his fortune has been accumulated over 20 years and that he has been lucky to win a few million.

He says that two of the million he got from the Lleve Lottery betting house, whose general manager said that he had never been there to collect any money.

It is worth noting, and Piera made mention of this, that in his predictions, Cristian says to play a certain Lottery agency, and that his programs are sponsored by a specific Lottery betting parlor.

As a way to prove the accuracy of Cristian Casa Blanca's predictions, Nuria sent a reporter to the consultation which cost RD$2,000 per person. Cristian gave her the numbers 26, 66 and 45, and to another person that went the day before he gave 10, 77 and 64, in spite of what he says about his numbers being good for three days. A follow up by Piera on the numbers which were right revealed that besides the fact that one of the three usually comes out, he insists that the numbers be played in parlays and tripletas. Besides his private consultations and his program, Cristian Casa Blanca is already famous for his parties in different cities. These, he admits earn him many thousand pesos, "depending on how many people go".
