MIAMI'S MONEY LAUNDERERS ARE PARTYING LIKE IT'S 1980, AFTER THE TREASURY SECRETARY TOUTS A USD$250 BIL

Miami money launderers, where Bulk Cash Smuggling is revered by its resident drug money launderers as the perfect instrument to evade reporting requirements, must still be celebrating this morning, in an all-night champagne party, after the Secretary of the Treasury held up a proposed Trump USD$250 note. Doesn't he realize that any bill denominated over $100 is pure success for the money laundering industry?

Who does he think owns and holds all the €500 notes inside the EU? That item is a favorite tool of Euro-laundrymen, and most of them are currently located within Spain, where they are legendary performers. Before the EU adopted the Euro, I went on record warning that this large note would end upo in their hands; if you look, you can still see my blunt warning online, which I delivered to the UK press more than two decades ago. Nobody in Brussels listened, and look at the result. Europe is stil trying to fix that colossal mistake in judgment. 

The larger the value of paper currency, the easier it is to bulk cash smuggle it through international borders, within consumer goods being exported, and even inside or on human beings. As a practising money launderer for a decade, I moved bulk cash weekly into the Tax Havens of the Caribbean, and was never detained or interdicted in the act. Do we really want to see an explosion of Bulk Cash Smuggling, back bigger than before?

I beseech the Treasury Department to forthwith withdraw this crazy proposal, before it gains any momentum. A $250 bill would seriously set back anti-money laundering, bringing back the ineffective "Miami Vice" days of the 1980s, but with a vengeance; Do not allow this folly to proceed, please. This old money launderer knows better.

UNITED STATES PIVOTS TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY RISKS POSED BY CARIBBEAN CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT PROGRAMS

While the hue and cry over the war against Iran dominates the news, in Washington D.C., decision makers in government focus upon the National Security threat that the corrupt Citizenship by Investment (CBI/CIP) programs, operated by the five Eastern Caribbean states, present to America. In private briefings, senior American leaders have recently been advised on how these controversial programs started, how they have become fatally corrupted, and how they constitute a Clear and Present Danger to the National Security of the United States.

For those readers that are unfamiliar with the principal issue surrounding the CBI programs of the five East Caribbean states (Saint Kitts & Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda, St. Lucia, Dominica and Grenada), it is appropriate here to restate it: A number of the programs have, in essence, been taken over by foreign companies controlled by the Peoples' Republic of China (PRC), which resulted in tens of thousands of passports, all from low-risk jurisdictions, being issued to dodgy Chinese nationals, all without any due diligence to ascertain their suitability.

We note that dual citizenship is technically illegal in the PRC, but the Government of China , which had a dark agenda for their use against the United States, tacitly permitted their use for illegal purposes. Many of those new passport holders used these identity documents to enter the United States, where they committed white collar crimes, industrial espionage, theft of valuable dual-use technology with national defense implication, and engaged in intelligence activities on behalf of the PRC, al to the damage and detriment of our National Security.

Additionally, Iranian nationals, operating inside Iraq, and with the active cooperation of the CBI-issuing states, secured their passports, alleging on the documents that they were Iraqi citizens, and used those travel documents to enter the U.S. and engage in criminal, terrorist and espionage activities.

The briefings which we understand were conducted by experts in the field of economic citizenship & passports, as well as by retired senior U.S. law enforcement agents with first-hand experience in prior cases involving Chinese and Iranian abuse of CBI within the United States, have now alerted America's leadership to the problem at hand, and to the potential solutions available.

We understand that, after giving the subject thorough and complete consideration, affirmative and positive action will be taken to reign in the rogue states that have engaged in the illicit sale of passports that facilitate autocratic China's and Iran's actions against the National Security of the United States, and to suppress the future employment of these criminal identity tools against America and look forward to seeing the Department of State and Department of Justice in action.

ARRAIGNMENT OF MONEY LAUNDERER ALEX SAAB MORAN IS SET FOR JUNE 24 IN MIAMI DISTRICT COURT

ALEX NAIN SAAB MORAN, the defendant, if convicted, could spend the rest of his life in Federal Prison. Given the weight of the evidence, and the amount of money alleged to have been diverted from the Venezuelan CLAP food program, he could receive a sufficiently long sentence to guarantee he would never survive a release date.

This is even more reason that most legal observers believe he will choose to offer Substantial Assistance, to reduce his ultimate sentence, and to secure a Sentence Reduction through Rule 35, in the future. This is potentially bad news for all the government leaders with whom he worked, in ANTIGUA and DOMINICA, where he owned a total of three offshore banks. The Prime Ministers of both countries., GASTON BROWNE and ROOSEVELT SKERRIT, are believed to be among the leaders whom Saab could incriminate, for money laundering, racketeering and corruption charges in the United States.

NATIONAL LEADERS FROM ST. KITTS, GRENADA AND BARBADOS FAILURE TO RESPOND TO SYMBOLIC THREAT HAS NOT GONE UNNOTICED BY THE UNITED STATES

The leaders of the now polarized Caribbean nations have now lined up on one side or the other; one side is composed of states politically aligned with the United States, and the other of countries that have chosen to affiliate with the autocracies of Venezuela, China and Cuba. Unfortunately, for financial, self-serving or philosophical reasons, all five of the EC states that offer economic citizenships have seen fit to throw in their lot with the dictatorships of the world, and such associations have consequences in Washington, which their leaders must certainly realize.
Recently, the President of Venezuela, DELCY RODRIGUEZ, held meetings abroad with the Prime Ministers of both Grenada and Barbados, and at those public meetings, she prominently wore a controversial brooch that featured a map of her native country's discredited claim to a large portion of territory of neighboring Guyana, which is a close associate of the United States. This bold display of a known Venezuelan territorial claim that was found to be without legal merit in 1899 is a thinly-disguised military threat to an American ally. 
Bogus territorial claims are how wars start, and dictators often advance them against weaker nations, resulting in armed conflicts that kill thousands, and destroy peacetime economies. This is not the future anyone wants for the Caribbean. 
To make matters worse, public complaints made to the current leader of the regional alliance, CARICOM, St.Kitts & Nevis PM TERRANCE DREW, have been completely ignored; Drew is a known ally and supporter of Venezuela, Cuba and China. CARICOM is supposed to support territorial integrity of its members, and peaceful solutions in the region. Drew's inaction shows his political alliance with the dictatorship in Venezuela trumps his duty and loyalty. He has essentially and arrogantly betrayed the members of CARICOM. 
And do not think for one moment that the U.S. State Department did not see that MIA MOTTLEY, DICKON MITCHELL and TERRANCE DREW have chosen sides with the Venezuelan autocracy, and that their cooperation with Venezuela, in the past and presently, did not go unnoticed in the greater diplomatic scheme of things. It was noticed throughout the Caribbean as well.

WE UNSCRAMBLE THE DISINFORMATION FROM MONTREAL MANAGEMENT REGARDING ITS DOMINICA LITIGATION

Given the apparent confusion amidst the public in Dominica, to the circumstances surrounding the Montreal Management case against the Government there, I find it necessary and proper to clear the air. Conflicting statements from MMC and Government, and the lack of truth from both, compel me to detail what has actually happened in the litigation.

A fair reading of the filing, styled "Notice of Discontinuance," by MMC's attorney, Dawn Yearwood-Stewart, which is, in truth and in fact, a notice of voluntary dismissal, shows:

(1) It is without prejudice, meaning that it can be refiled tomorrow if MMC so chooses. Note that it was hurriedly filed on 22 May, only after news of the Dominica Police investigation broke.

(2) It is NOT an adjudication on the merits, only a pause in the proceedings.
(

3) If you read the actual language of the filing, it is ONLY effective as to defendants RANGE MARINA DEVELOPMENTS LTD and ABL HOLDINGS LTDA, and not as to the two principal defendants, the GOVERNMENT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF DOMINICA, and the PERMANENT SECRETARY OF THE OFFICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER.This is not a dismissal as to all party defendants.


Now, let's look at the MMC Press Release; it"formally confirms that no legal proceedings or arbitrations ARE CURRENTLY IN EFFECT against the Government of Dominica." This is incorrect, as the Government was never dismissed from the litigation. Additionally, we are hearing that the people of Dominica are being told that to suit was ever filed. This is untrue, and a misstatement of material fact; MMC has definitely underestimated the intelligence of Dominican voters,

Also, we have learned that Dominica's Prime Minister, ROOSEVELT SKERRIT, is also claiming that the case was dismissed. Nonsense; it still exists as to the two principal defendants I mentioned above, including the Government of Dominica. 

These statements are all a political smokescreen, intended to distract the public from the sordid truth of recent events.

GLOBAL CBI SCANDAL PART 3: THE "UAE CITIZENSHIP" FRAUD – A DIRECT AFFRONT TO THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES BY AN IRANIAN NATIONAL RESIDING IN DUBAI

NEDA AZARMEHR

Investigative analysis has uncovered a reckless and potentially criminal deception by Neda Azarmehr and her firm, Cross Border Freedom. By promoting a completely non-existent "UAE Citizenship by Investment" program, complete with fabricated financial requirements (AED 10M investment and AED 5M contribution), Azarmehr has crossed a dangerous line.

The Truth: There is NO such program. The United Arab Emirates has never launched a commercial Citizenship-by-Investment (CBI) program. While the UAE recently amended its nationality laws, citizenship is granted exclusively through nomination by the Rulers’ Courts or the Cabinet for exceptional individuals (doctors, scientists, and elite investors). It is not—and has never been—a product for sale by migration agents.

WILL GASTON BROWNE'S ANTIGUA INTRODUCE EBOLA INTO THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE THIS MONTH?

Today, the first 2026 nonstop flights NIGERIA-BARBADOS-ANTIGUA  on the Nigerian carrier  Air Peace, are scheduled to land. Whether these flights result in the accidental introduction of EBOLA into  the Caribbean, and hence into all of the Western Hemisphere is a clear and present danger, given how chaotic the last time such flights came into the region, we fear the worst. The fact that visa-free admission into BARBADOS, the first stop, will increase the chances that the fatal disease enters the West Indies. 

These flights should be cancelled forthwith, lest we all end up paying for Antigua Prime Minister GASTON BROWNE'S greed and avarice, in allowing such high-risk flights to land. Antiguans will end up paying the price, in sick and dying citizens, unless something  is done about it now.

THE REAL STORY BEHIND HOW MMCE TRIED TO OBTAIN A CBI MONOPOLY IN DOMINICA, AND THAT THE BATTLE IS NOT OVER

We wanted to follow up quickly on unfolding developments in Dominica, because things have moved at a rapid pace since the police investigation started. When the Government of Dominica opened a criminal investigation into Anthony Haiden and MMCE in response to the controversy, the company and its owner reportedly panicked immediately; Right after the investigation was initiated, MMCE quickly withdrew its Petition against the Government of Dominica on the 22nd, regarding the Attorney General, the Permanent Secretary, Range Developments, and ABL Holdings. Gone. MMCE also issued a retraction letter publicly stating they have no case against the Government of Dominica.

Unfortunately, the devil is in the details. What the deceptive MMCE press release did not disclose is that the filing, captioned " Notice of Discontinuance," filed by its attorney, DAWN YEARWOOD-STEWART, was a dismissal WITHOUT PREJUDICE. For the non-lawyers, it means MMCE is free to refile its Petition, without sustaining any effect regarding its claims and demands in present or future legal or administrative proceedings. Therefore, its PR efforts are not what they seem to be, and Dominicans should be aware of this fine legal point.

Now, an important clarification on the so-called "side letter" that MMCE was relying on to claim exclusive rights over all CBI projects; It's not a fabrication in the traditional sense. The letter does exist and was apparently signed by a staff member within the CBI unit. However, it carries no legal authority whatsoever. as It was never forwarded through the proper governmental channels, never approved through due process, and has no binding legal effect, in my humble opinion reinforced by decades of legal experience in the Caribbean. So, while it's a government document with a real signature, it's being treated as effectively fraudulent, because it was presented as something it was not. What Haiden appears to have done is take an ordinary internal letter from a low-level CBI staff member and attempt to leverage it as if it were an official government mandate granting him exclusive control. That was a serious miscalculation, and there will be consequences.

It's possible the government will wind down the investigation now that Mr. Haiden has backed off and is now beseeching the government to stop the investigation, but the damage has been done. His relationship with the Dominican government is, by all accounts, ccording to my sources, beyond repair. The practical consequences are likely to be felt going forward in how MMCE's CBI applications are handled. The expectation is that the CBI unit will now scrutinize each and every MMCE submission far more aggressively. Applications could also face administrative delays, due to a heightened review for errors, or outright rejection. MMCE may still be authorized to operate on paper, but in practice, many prominent Dominicans now believe that Haiden's misconduct has made himself radioactive with their government.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING INTO ANTIGUA AND BARBADOS, VIA SCHEDULED AIRLINE SERVICE FROM AFRICA, RETURNS TOMORROW

For those readers not keeping a close watch on the Caribbean, tomorrow marks the reintroduction of scheduled nonstop airline service between Nigeria and Antigua & Barbuda; the controversial Nigerian carrier AIR PEACE, will commencing May 24, offer twice a month Boeing 777 flights from Murtala Muhammed international Airport in Lagos, arriving at Grantley Adams International Airport in Barbados, and V.C. Bird International Airport in Antigua.

I trust that I have your attention; the last time such nonstop service was operational in 2022-2023, over 900 passengers arrived from Nigeria, and the flights sparked public outcry, amid valid concerns that individuals were being exploited and illegally funneled into the Caribbean. The Government of Antigua opened 25 investigations into sex trafficking, labour trafficking, and unspecified forms of exploitation. There is a U.S. State Department Report on that case: "2024 Trafficking in Persons Report: Antigua and Barbuda" https://lnkd.in/e6jwTR9K

While Antigua has since those early flights increased certain requirements of arriving passengers, we seriously doubt that, in a country where customs and immigration is notorious for accepting bribes and kickbacks, that traffickers will not be able to evade the additional measures since laid on. Additionally, and more ominously, there are reportedly zero restrictions and requirements for arriving African passengers coming into Barbados visa-free, due to policies instituted by Prime Minister Maria Amor Mottley, and there are concerns that this loophole will be exploited by professional human traffickers.

For those readers not from the United States, please note that the owner of Air Peace, the Nigerian lawyer, ALLEN ONYEMA, is under indictment and wanted in the United States on Federal criminal charges; since 2019, for Money Laundering and Bank Fraud, and since 2024, for Obstruction of Justice. The airline's Chief of Administration and Finance, Ejiroghene Eghagha, is also wanted on the same charges, and another codefendant has previously pled guilty for her role in the scheme. Given Onyema's close personal relationship with Antigua Prime Minister GASTON BROWNE, most legal observers believe that local law enforcement will choose to ignore any evidence of human trafficking into and through Antigua.

Allen Onyema

The U.S. Department of State, which has placed serious visa restrictions on Antiguan passport holders, will not be pleased to see that the country is about to again become a facilitator of human trafficking. We will be monitoring the situation, to see whether it will result in a further increase restrictions or sanctions upon Antigua and Barbuda.
