She was released after posting bail set at $5,000.--.
Furthermore, Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Robert Mandelbaum issued Mees an
order of protection and demanded she stay away from Buiter and his family.
“Do not call them, do not go to their home,
school, businesses, place of employment . . . no email, no text messages,
instant messages, no phone calls, letters, fax or voice messages,” the judge said.
Ms. Mees apparently sent more than 1,000 emails over two years to Mr. Buiter, a chief economist at Citigroup. The two had an affair. Ms. Mees was crazy about Buiters. But once the romance went sour, Mees went into fatal attraction-mode, sending racy, to X-rated, to demented emails. Threatening emails were not only sent to Buiter himself, but also to his wife Anne and children. She even continued to contact him after receiving a cease-and-desist letter.

According
to the filed court papers, emails included:
“What can I do to make it
right? Shall I lick your b---s?”
“Shall we adopt a child?”
“Hope your plane falls out of the sky.”
In addition to sending him X-rated images of
herself, she sent him a photo of dead birds. Go figure.
Heleen Mees currently
lives in NYC and was previously lecturing at the Dutch Universities Universityof Tilburg and the Eramus University Rotterdam (EUR). She also served as the Adjunct
Associate Professor in Economics at Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of
Public Service.
Ironically, she is
known for her feminism, being a co-founder of “Women on Top”. She also wrote
for the prestigious Dutch financial newspaper FD.
