QUESTIONS THAT AXA OFFSHORE SERVICES FAILED TO ANSWER REMAIN UNANSWERED IN ANGUILLA

This email, which in my opinion summarizes the bulk of the official and private misconduct in this investigation, was sent to AXA OFFSHORE SERVICES in December; the company has never responded to either the allegations of malfeasance and fraud, nor produced any satisfa ctorty evidence in rebuttal. Clearly, the responsbility to redress these wrongs, and resolve the situation rests with the Office of the Governor of Anguilla.

After the victim's requests to her office did not result in any official action, and we were alerted, we have taken up his cause, because individual that deal in good faith should be assured that government agencies, and the private sector that interfaces with them, can be trusted to diligently discharge their duties, and be above reproach. That did not happen here, and therefore, our campaign of information, regarding what can only be characterized as a scandal, shall continue, until government takes action.

CBI FRAUD: THE BLUEPRINT WAS WRITTEN IN NEVIS BY DEON DANIEL AND BLUEMINA

Deon Daniel

For years, I attributed the corruption of Caribbean Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programs primarily to foreign operators who later came to dominate the market. A review of written communications and documentary evidence provided by a whistleblower based in the Middle East requires a fundamental correction. The evidence shows that the fraudulent CBI financing model originated in Nevis, and that it was created and promoted by Deon Daniel in cooperation with Bluemina—well before the large-scale entry of Chinese firms. The Hamilton Beach Resort & Hamilton Apartments & Spa project, promoted by Deon Daniel, established the first working template. Citizenship approvals were converted into a fraudulent financial instrument, no longer tied to lawful minimum investment thresholds. The structure was simple and effective: citizenship was sold below the statutory minimum price, while engineered payment arrangements preserved the illusion of compliance.

Bluemina functioned as the Middle East sales engine for this model, actively marketing discounted citizenship packages throughout the region. Its founder, Wasim Daoud, was subsequently rewarded with diplomatic status by Saint Kitts and Nevis, conferring legitimacy and investor confidence while the illegal pricing model continued. According to the whistleblower’s written communications, Les Khan, while serving as head of the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) of Saint Kitts and Nevis, worked actively to dismantle Deon Daniel’s operation, pressured Bluemina to sever its relationship with Daniel, and redirected Bluemina and other CBI agents toward Caribbean Galaxy and additional CBI projects.

Wassim Daoud and former Saint Kitts PM Timothy Harris

By the time Chinese firms entered the market at scale, the fraud architecture already existed: citizenship treated as a financial product, illegal under-pricing hidden behind “financing,” and volume prioritized over legality. I have advised the whistleblower that the evidence and communications reviewed should be formally remitted to the competent authorities in Dubai, where jurisdiction and financial oversight mechanisms are well established.

BARBADOS, WHERE JUSTICE DELAYED IS TRUE JUSTICE DENIED

Absolutely nothing has changed since Barbados broke away from the London Privy Council. Then Barbados Attorney General Davis Simmons and Attorney at Law, Mr Aliar Shepherd, publicly accused England of preventing Barbados from carrying out Capital Punishment (Hanging). The law specifies that a prisoner shall not be kept for more than five years before Capital Punishment is administered. Blinding the Barbados public, they would, for instance, keep a murderer in prison for many years before his case comes before the courts, or deliberately put back cases, and even once that person has been sentenced to death, they would playfully appeal to the London Privy Council to have the Death Penalty overturned at the expense of unsuspecting relatives, unaware of the Five Year Statute. Naturally, the Privy Council had to comply with the rule of the 1966 Independence Constitution, and the Death Sentence is annulled for exceeding five years' imprisonment.

 Then, in Barbados, they set their plan in motion through social media, ramping up about England preventing an independent nation from carrying out the death penalty, and having the general public shouting out, Barbados do not need a Queen 5000 miles away telling us how to run our Island.

David Simmons was heaped with praises for removing Barbados from the England Privy Council and for establishing the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ), situated in Trinidad. How many prisoners have been hanged or sentenced to be hanged?

 

WE EXPLAIN THE ESSENCE OF THE ATTEMPTED REAL ESTATE FRAUD, WHICH WAS FACILITATED BY THE USE OF AN ANGUILLA INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS CORPORATION IMPROPERLY OBTAINED

Before we proceed with our analysis of the situation, regarding the approval of a deceptively similar company by a government agency in Anguilla, we wish to explain the consequences that resulted from this improper action. The fraudster, Saint Martin attorney ELVIA MOENIR ALAM, had her sights upon a parcel of real property owned by the victim under the names of the original Anguilla company, and she clearly intended to take possession of it, through the new company, whose name was the same as the original entity which was in title; only the suffix was different, and such minute and minor details are often disregarded as clerical errors, so long as the names themselves match.

Of course, the law is clear regarding the subject, a company formed in the future with the same or similar name to one perviously formed and no longer current in its filings, does not acquire the assets of its predecessor. Registering the same name does not give you rights to the original company's bank accounts, property, or other holdings. This is a matter of black letter law, and is not subject to any other interpretation.

We know from the litigation that litigation initiated by the attorney-fraudster failed, as the Saint Maarten Court ruled in favor of the victim. See READ THE COMPLETE TEXT OF THE SUCCESSFUL LAWSUIT AGAINST THE SINT MAARTEN ATTORNEY-FRAUDSTER IN OUR INVESTIGATION
https://lnkd.in/eNBZpBUW

Therefore, by definition, the efforts of the fraudster to set up her ability to take possession of the victim''s real estate, located in St. Martin, was illegal and improper, and forbidden by operation of law. We trust that this issue has now been clarified, and that readers will now be able to follow our investigation as it unfolds in the succeeding articles.

UNITED STATES EFFORTS IN VENEZUELA TO EAT CHINA'S LUNCH MAY JUST HAVE INVITED BEIJING TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE RIGHT IN AMERICA'S BACKYARD

China's new canal in 2030?

Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s first foreign trip in 2025 was to Panama for an arm-twisting meeting with the Panamanian authorities regarding the eviction of the canal’s Chinese port operators. Interestingly, the Panamanian Supreme Court ruled on January 29, 2025,  in a decision that concluded the contract held by Panama Ports Company, a subsidiary of Hong Kong's CK Hutchison, violated Panama's Constitution by giving the company exclusive privileges and tax exemptions. Additionally, the Court ruled that the contract also lacked a requirement for environmental impact assessments, and said the government had to seek Panama Ports' approval before granting other concessions. The ruling gave Washington a victory amid the intensifying U.S.-China rivalry over global trade routes and President Donald Trump's efforts to exert dominance in Latin America.

What Trump and his policy making team failed to realize or consider at the time is that the old previously scuttled plan of the Chinese Government, to build a new canal in Nicaragua, was now considered to be viable, subsequent to The National Assembly of Nicaragua's approval on January 28, 2025, of Articles of Reform to the Political Constitution, which now authorizeed the State to grant concessions for the construction of an interoceanic canal through Nicaragua.NICARAGUA'S NEW CONSTITUTION GIVES GREEN LIGHT TO INTEROCEANIC CANAL PROJECT  .

The constitutional amendment, proposed by the Nicaraguan regime, and approved unanimously in the second and final vote, established that “the State may grant concessions for the construction and exploitation of an interoceanic canal,” and that the Laws of the Matter (specific governing legislation) will regulate the conditions. While Washington was busy setting plans and assets to control Venezuelan oil and therefore to deny  such rights to China, Beijing was more focused on a more lucrative and strategic plan subsequent to Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega offer to China, on November 18, 2025, regarding his country's project to build an interoceanic canal through the Central American country. 

This time, however, the project involved  a new route in which, instead of crossing the Great Lake or Lake Cocibolca, it would pass through Lake Xolotlán (Lake Managua).The new route would start from a port to be built in Bluefields, the main city of the South Caribbean Autonomous Region, pass through the central part of Nicaragua, Lake Xolotlán, and finally exit through the port of Corinto, on the Pacific. According to Ortega, the new project would have a longer route than the one previously presented and would cover some 445 kilometers in length, with a width of between 290 and 540 meters and a depth of twenty-seven meters.

For its operation, the construction of two locks would be required, one in the Caribbean and another in the Pacific, as well as the creation of an artificial lake that would be called El Escondido. Common sense dictates that Beijing will never undertake such an expensive project without first deploying its Military and intelligence might in the region. This means building Chinese military bases in Nicaragua and Cuba.

We regard America's failure to see past Venezuela and the Panama Canal be be a strategic failure of the Trump administration's foreign policy apparatus to see several moves ahead in the game of global chess, which will give Iran, North Korea, Russia, and other bad actor states the ability to set up shop right in America’s backyard, Central America and the Caribbean.

WILL THE LATEST SCANDAL FINISH OFF ANGUILLA'S FRAGILE OFFSHORE REGIME, ALREADY MORIBUND DUE TO THE COLLAPSE OF LOCAL BANKS ?

The unfolding scandal we are detailing, in the British Overseas Territory of ANGUILLA, implicating a foreign attorney-fraudster, two corrupt financial services companies, a negligent government regulator, and the Office of the Governor, for not attending to the problem once notified, comes on top of the territory's indigenous bank scandal. In that case the two principal local banks folded, resulting in millions of dollars in losses to foreign depositors, whilst the local Anguilla government protected all the local depositors.

Twelve years later, the foreign depositors, many of whom were business people from Saint Martin, have not received their money, whilst the courts at the appellate and Privy Council split legal hairs, discussing arcane issues of law that merely delay a resolution for years and years.

Our present investigation into corruption, misfeasance and malfeasance, at both the public and private level, if not properly resolved to the satisfaction of the victim, threatens to go on and on, and will most likely eventually sour all potential foreign interests on Anguilla, causing them to steer clear of the territory altogether. It is in the best interests of Government to finally pay attention to the matter, lest the continuing publicity completely torpedo Anguilla as an offshore financial center.

WE TAKE A DEEP DIVE INTO THE PEPS OF ANTIGUA WHO USE DIPLOMATIC PASSPORTS FOR MONEY LAUNDERING, FRAUD AND CORRUPTION ON BEHALF OF PM GASTON BROWNE AND HIS LABOUR PARTY

If you remember that ALEX SAAB MORAN, the Colombian money launderer had a diplomatic passport from Antigua and Barbuda, designating him an "Economic Envoy" without an assignment, posting or  any responsibilities or official duties, which he used to launder for Venezuela's President NICOLAS  MADURO and the drug trafficking CARTEL DEL SOL, then you know that in Antigua, Diplomatic credentials are handed out like candy to Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) affiliated with Prime Minister GASTON BROWNE. You may have even read our article ANTIGUA, WHERE EVEN THE DOGCATCHER HAS A DIPLOMATIC PASSPORT.

Taken verbatim from an exhibit in the §1782 Discovery proceeding, IN RE GASTON BROWN CORRUPTION DISCOVERY APPLICATION, Case No.; 24-mc-00098-JMF (SDNY),  is a somewhat dated official list of all active diplomatic passports issued and outstanding by Antigua and Barbuda. Many of these PEPs, who are closely linked to PM Browne's corrupt government, use them to evade customs and immigration controls, launder money, facilitate transnational fraud, and promote official corruption involving China, Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, Iran, North Korea and other countries. 

Compliance officers might want to check these names against your client, customer and counterparty lists, and to act accordingly, if you find any confirmed matches, as many PEPs conceal that status when opening accounts. Happy hunting, ladies and gentlemen.

OFAC SANCTION OF IRANIAN MONEY LAUNDERER REMINDS US OF DOMINICA PM ROOSEVELT SKERRIT'S ILLICIT SALE OF DIPLOMATIC PASSPORTS TO HIS PARTNER

                           

We note that the latest round of US Treasury OFAC  sanctions against Iranians supporting the regime included BABAK MORTEZA ZANJANI, the Iranian world-class criminal who once stole USD$2bn from the regime's illicit oil revenues, which earned him a Death Sentence in Tehran for Corruption on Earth. Zanjani, whose execution was later stayed, and converted to a twenty year sentence, was released last year, after swerving eleven years, so he could, under close government supervision, return to money laundering for Iran, hence the US Treasury action against him.

Babak Zanjani  (in prison uniform for condemned inmates)

Zanjani did not act alone regarding the embezzlement of the two million; his crew included REZA ZARRAB, who exchanged sanctioned oil for gold from Turkey. Zarrab, who was arrested at MIA when he and his family arrived to visit Disney World, and who escaped a major SDNY indictment by throwing his lot in with the CIA, (who sprung him from jail for G-d knows what level of covert cooperation); he currently owns a ranch in sunny South Florida. BTW Zarrab also had a handful of different passports.

Reza Zarrab, with some of his cash.

Zanjani's other senior partner, career criminal ALIREZA MONFARED, bought a number of diplomatic passports, for cash of course, from the one individual in the Caribbean who is in a class of his own when it comes to official  corruption, Dominica's longest-serving Prime Minister, ROOSEVELT SKERRIT. Skerrit, who once flew frantically to London to deliver yet another diplomatic passport to a career criminal who was a former Nigerian oil minister that was a fleeing fugitive from justice, is still selling instant diplomatic status for a bucket of greenbacks. His clients use their newly-acquired "diplomatic status" to evade customs and immigration kiosks at airports of entry in the developing world, allowing them to smuggle financial instruments, cash, precious gems, fine art and all sorts of other contraband. 

Roosevelt Skerrit and Alireza Monfared

The United Nations has studiously ignored the corrupt sale of diplomatic passports by greedy Caribbean leaders for decades, so unless President Trump  decides that Skerrit is the next national leader to sit in the dock in Federal District Court in New York for his many sins and transgressions, he will continue to violate the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, notwithstanding that Dominica is a signatory.However, the odds of whether he enjoys his sunset years, with all his filthy lucre, in Dubai, depends upon factors outside his control. There are generally few happy endings in tales such as his.

READ THE COMPLETE TEXT OF THE SUCCESSFUL LAWSUIT AGAINST THE SINT MAARTEN ATTORNEY-FRAUDSTER IN OUR INVESTIGATION

 

Given that there have been reports that some readers, particularly those in the Government of Anguilla, have voiced doubts regarding the truth and accuracy of our investigative articles, we herewith append, both above and below, the complete text of the court decision, rendered in favor of our whistleblower, when litigation was brought against him by the  Sint Maarten attorney & fraudster, ELVIA MOENIR-ALAM. There, a court of competent jurisdiction entered as judgment completely in the whistleblower's favor.

Please note that we are now identifying our whistleblower; he is the well-known Anguilla CPA LYNDON WEBSTER, whose bona fides and credibility speak for itself. Readers should review the judgment prior to reading the next installment in our continuing series on Corruption in Anguilla.

 

SAINT KITTS, BRING BACK LES KHAN

SKN CIU Chairman Calvin St. Juste

For several years, we have chronicled the corrupt activities of LESLIE "LES" KHAN the former Chairman of the Saint Kitts & Nevis Citizenship by Investment CIU, the agency that administers the country's economic Passport program. Khan, who stole millions from the people of Saint Kitts for personal greed and avarice, symbolizes all that has gone wrong with Caribbean CBI, when corruption rears its angry head. But now, we must speak out about the troubling conduct of CALVIN ST. JUSTE, the current serving CIU Chairman, whose unbridled arrogance and unethical behavior have fatally damaged not only Saint Kitts' reputation, but the integrity of  the Citizenship by Investment program. 

Ex- Chairman Leslie "Les" Khan

A number of CBI sales agents involved in the program have openly complained about Chairman St. Juste; he has demanded commissions from agents as a precondition just to process them. Worse, he has not just limited his misconduct to agents; he is presently demanding outright bribes from developers who are bringing vital CBI projects to Saint Kitts. He makes it perfectly clear that, without an illegal advance payment to him, he will refuse to process or advance any CBI application files.

Agents based in the Middle East, the epicenter of CBI sales, have gone so far as to label him "worse than Les Khan," which speaks volumes about St. Juste's corrupt conduct. One of our sources have revealed that a senior executive one of the major players in the investment migration industry, speaking under condition of anonymity, disclosed that he is demanding commissions from their company, as a condition precedent for processing citizenship applications. 

St. Juste seems to hold the opinion that he is intellectually superior to everyone. including SKN Prime Minister TERRANCE DREW, whom he arrogantly considers beneath him. Alarmingly, he is known to have kept his prime minister in the dark, regarding key aspects of the CBI program. In truth and in fact, however, he knows nothing of substance, lacks professionalism, ethics, good conduct, and most importantly, honesty.

Saint Kitts & Nevis Prime Minister Terrance Drew

The situation at the CIU is deeply concerning, and demands immediate attention from the leaders of Saint Kitts, to restore trust in the program, which is already facing what amounts to an existential threat to its future viability, for a host of reasons. That is why the sales agents say, with a straight face,  Bring Back Les Khan, Saint Kitts.

MARK BRANTLEY: THE NEW POWERHOUSE OF THE CARIBBEAN

Nevis Premier Mark Brantley

For more than twenty years, I have exposed the corruption and fraud surrounding Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programs across the Caribbean. When leaders fail, they should be called out. But when one breaks from the mold, that too must be recognized. Mark Brantley, Premier of Nevis, stands alone. He is the only Caribbean leader to publicly state that CBI is dead, and he was the first to denounce the fraudulent Galaxy Jail project in Saint Kitts—while others remained silent.

Brantley is not managing decline; he is building a future for the Nevis economy. He has secured a major luxury real-estate development, “Destiny,” led by a Belgian developer, a project capable of transforming the Nevis economy and adding an estimated 20,000 new residents through real investment and job creation. He has also positioned Nevis as a future energy powerhouse by securing geothermal development, ensuring long-term energy independence and regional leadership.

In parallel, Brantley has obtained financing to modernize Nevis’s airport to attract private jets and high-net-worth visitors, while launching a regulated online gambling industry to diversify the Nevis economy.Mark Brantley understands a truth others refuse to face: CBI is finished. Nevis must become a new model—closer to Monaco or Dubai than a passport-for-sale economy. If Brantley succeeds with this vision, he will not only transform Nevis. He will emerge as the new economic power of the Caribbean—and the political visionary the Caribbean has been waiting for.

THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF AMERICA'S DEPORTATION OF ILLEGAL ALIENS TO THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN STATES

The United States has entered into formal agreements with the Eastern Caribbean states of Antigua & Barbuda, and the Commonwealth of Dominica,, whereby illegal immigrants being deported from America, whose countries of origin have refused to accept them, will be accepted by these two Caribbean signatories; the U.S. will reportedly pay for their housing and sustenance. Not coincidentally, these two nations have been recently targeted by America for their corrupt Citizenship by Investment programs, which have been deemed to facilitate a national security threat from China.

The citizens of these two Caribbean nations have expressed their unhappiness with the agreements, but nevertheless they are expected to be honored by their leaders. Information we have received from insiders in Antigua indicates that the country's Prime Minister, GASTON BROWNE, has a trick up his sleeve for the administration of the program, which will actually work to increase, not decrease, China's influence in the Caribbean.

Our sources have disclosed that the deportees, upon arrival in Antigua, will be placed in housing constructed by China, using Chinese workers imported for that task, and not local Antiguans. It gets worse; a substantial portion of the millions of dollars that America will be paying to Browne's government will be promptly handed over to China, which is owned a huge sum by Antigua for its capital improvements on the island nation, as well as outstanding debt previously incurred. Kickbacks will then be paid to several senior Caribbean politicians, for allowing this arrangement, which will only serve to further the dependence of these states on China.

These Chinese workers will enter without proper visas, due to China's undue influence in Antigua. It is expected that Dominica's government, led by the openly pro-Chinese Prime Minister ROOSEVELT SKERRIT, will follow suit. Dominica, with its 900-man Chinese Embassy and Chinese advisors to its Labour government, is also bound to pay China with American taxpayer dollars for housing our deportees. China will pay no taxes in Antigua on this substantial cash flow, which will most likely continue for years.

The United States must immediately make it clear to the leadership of both these countries that local contractors must be engaged to build the necessary structures to house and sustain the deportees; payment must be made directly to them to insure that China is not enriched at American expense and The U.S. must supervise the process to avoid the usual corruption that infects every major construction project in the Caribbean where local government is involved.

ANGUILLA CONTINUES TO IGNORE FRAUD AND CORRUPTION IN ITS OFFSHORE INDUSTRY

Anguilla, a British Overseas Territory in the Eastern Caribbean, is an offshore financial center whose operation heavily supports the local economy. There is no tax in offshore entities, regarding corporate income, capital gains, estate, and gift taxes. One can easily and quickly incorporate there from a remote location, first using the online facility known as ACORN, and now Commercial Registry Electronic System (CRES) the subsequent platform; note that beneficial owner information is not publicly available.

While there is supposedly regulatory oversight, from the Anguilla Financial Services Commission (AFSC), we found in our investigation, as we have demonstrated in our continuing series of articles, that fraud and corruption are allowed to occur, and that complaints and inquiries from parties who suffer damages as the direct result of such misconduct are summarily ignored, or excused.

In the case that we have been analyzing of late, complaints of obvious misconduct verging on negligence, on the part of the Registrar of Companies, was rejected, not only by the AFSC, but by the Governor's Office itself. There is substantial correspondence to and from both to support this conclusion. The fact that the Governor, Her Excellency JULIA CROUCH, chooses to ignore the matter is significant, as all offshore schemes are by definition fragile, and their continued attraction to users is dependent upon confidence that crimes will be promptly and aggressively addressed.

Governor Crouch

We accuse the Governor's Office of pointedly ignoring what is a valid complaint, supported by a judicial determination of its validity, of misconduct of agencies under its command, and in the private sector, and where questions of corruption and mismanagement were completely ignored. If Anguilla's government is unable or unwilling to supervise its offshore financial scheme, and that status becomes public knowledge in the financial world, clients will correctly choose to do business elsewhere, and the local economy, which is dependent upon such business, could suffer a serious loss in necessary income.

IS THE UK'S NEW 2026 RULE ON ENTERING DUAL NATIONALS EXPRESSLY DESIGNED TO FOIL BRITAIN'S RESIDENT MONEY LAUNDERERS?

If you read the recent report that now requires British citizens who are dual nationals to produce their UK passport at Border Control when entering, it may be for more than statistics or processing convenience. When I was a career money launderer, I always used different forms of identification, when leaving and later entering the United States. Basically, it's Confusion to the Enemy.

British laundrymen, who have heretofore been able to deploy one of their trusty Citizenship by Investment (CBI) passports at entry, which of course do not correspond with their previous exist with a UK passport, to foil tracking, ongoing criminal investigations, and to minimize the chances that they will be detained, searched and arrested when entering Britain, will no longer be able to utilize their CBI passport to pose as an ever-so-slightly different individual, with say a difference middle name or confusing DOB or Place of Birth.

if this was the intent of the British Government in enacting this new regulation, my hat is off to them.
