HENG SHENG CBI FRAUD IN GRENADA EXPOSED BY INSIDER

This scandal is unfolding in plain sight, driven by public statements made by a former employee of the Heng Sheng–linked CBI operation, who is now openly accusing his former employer of conduct that appears to cross the line from unethical business practices into potential financial and document fraud within Grenada’s citizenship-by-investment (CBI) program. The disclosures are not anonymous;They are not being leaked quietly to regulators. They are posted publicly, visible to banks, compliance officers, foreign governments, and law‑enforcement agencies worldwide.

From discounting to document fraud; In a detailed LinkedIn post, Galli Kureleh, formerly associated with the Heng Sheng–connected Grenada National Resort project, alleged that CBI discounting has resumed—but now through a structure that dramatically escalates legal exposure. According to Kureleh, applicants are allegedly being issued “cash payment” receipts showing the full required CBI price, while the actual wired amount reflects a discounted payment. If accurate, this describes a dual‑track misrepresentation scheme: one financial narrative submitted to Grenadian authorities, and another reflecting the true amount transferred. This is no longer a commercial dispute; It is false documentation submitted to a sovereign state.

Grenadian authorities have been accused of looking the other way. Most damaging of all, Kureleh does not limit his allegations to private actors. He states publicly that Grenadian authorities are effectively closing their eyes to this conduct, questioning why documentation that allegedly fails to reflect actual financial flows is being accepted at all. Kureleh explicitly pointed to the Investment Migration Agency Grenada as the authority accepting these so‑called “cash receipts,” despite the apparent discrepancy between receipts and actual wire transfers. If true, this constitutes regulatory willful blindness. He also disclosed that 30,000 to 40,000 passports will be issued just for Heng Sheng CBI, and they will all be shortly appearing in person in Grenada, acting as best friends of the native-born Grenadian citizens.

Direct Accountability at the top: Oversight responsibility ultimately rests with Thomas Anthony, Chief Executive Officer of the Investment Migration Agency Grenada, the government body legally mandated to enforce compliance, verify source of funds, and protect the integrity of the Grenadian passport. Given the public and technically specific nature of these allegations, the silence from the agency raises serious questions about enforcement and oversight.

There is escalating political and U.S. legal exposure. Responsibility does not stop at the agency level. If Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell fails to take immediate and visible action, this matter risks rapidly moving outside Grenada’s jurisdictional control. According to Kureleh’s allegations, the U.S. banking system is being used to wire funds connected to these transactions. The moment U.S. correspondent banks are involved, jurisdiction attaches automatically. At that point, this becomes a United States Federal matter potentially involving wire fraud, bank fraud, money laundering, and false statements to U.S. financial institutions. Kureleh could become a material witness in a U.S. Federal CBI fraud investigation if supporting documentation emerges.

Money laundering, misrepresentation and applicant endangerment could now exist. If substantiated, these practices expose applicants to passport revocation, visa bans by the United States, United Kingdom, and European Union, and permanent inclusion in financial‑crime and intelligence databases. The result is the end of plausible deniability. When insiders publicly accuse promoters and regulators alike, the window for plausible deniability closes rapidly. Silence becomes evidence of tolerance.

In a final assessment, These remain allegations, not judicial findings. But they are public, specific, technically detailed, and involve the U.S. banking system. The question is no longer whether this will be examined, but who will be held accountable when financial records are finally compared line by line.

CONVICTED BVI PREMIER ANDREW FAHIE FILES HIS BRIEF OF APPELLANT, CLAIMING THE TRIAL JUDGE COMMITTED REVERSIBLE ERROR

ANDREW FAHIE, the convicted and imprisoned former Premier of the British Virgin Islands (BVI), serving eleven years for money laundering and drug trafficking, claims on appeal that the trial judge in his case committed error when he refused to admit evidence of prior misconduct of the undercover individual in his case. BRADY vs. MARYLAND and GIGLIO vs. UNITED STATES are two landmark American decisions that stand for the proposition that evidence of the credibility of a witness used at trial cannot be withheld from the jury, as the trier of fact.

Remember though that there was ample other evidence to convict Fahie; his co-defendants' testimony, video and audio recordings of his willingness to enter into a criminal conspiracy to allow cocaine to transit the BVI with impunity, in exchange for payments to him and others.

Additionally, there are persistent rumors that Fahie has already made a proffer, an offer of specific testimony, to the US Attorney, implicating others in criminal conduct, in an effort to receive a Rule 35 sentence reduction. Was it accepted, and is this appellate brief just a smokescreen to confuse potential new co-defendants? The mystery continues.

PUSHBACK FROM SAINT KITTS AFTER WE EXPOSE CIU CHAIRMAN CALVIN ST. JUSTE FOR DEMANDING BRIBES AND KICKBACKS FOR ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT (CBI) PASSPORTS

Calvin St. Juste

If you read our recent article SAINT KITTS, BRING BACK LES KHAN,
https://lnkd.in/eJ4cXSnU , you know that I have outed the current leader of the Saint Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment (CIU) agency, CALVIN ST. JUSTE, who sales agents and developers have asserted is demanding they pay him bribes and kickbacks, before he will accept applications, or grant any requests for service from the CIU.

After I wrote the article, I received an inquiry from Dwyer Astaphan, requesting the evidence that I have regarding the details I cited in my story. My source in Saint Kitts for the information has been a valuable, and truthful, resource for the past ten years. If Mr. Astaphan wishes to see the evidence, he is welcome to come to the United States, and meet me in my office in Miami Beach, to review it. I have forwarded it to American law enforcement.

Apparently. the truth was a bit too much for Chairman St. Juste to bear; his response:
(1) To complain to Google, which operates my blog, alleging that my truths about his criminal misconduct constituted harassment, and pleading for the article to be deleted; No such deletion has occurred.
(2) Crying to one of Saint Kitts' best known apologists, who then wrote a piece of Facebook, saying that my story was not correct, and that St. Juste was an honest and loyal son of his country, who would never engage in corruption. In truth and in fact , the writer of that article is well known to have prostituted himself by selling out to one of the investment migration industry's largest seller of economic passports, and thus disqualifying him for accepting blood money to tout CBI and St. Juste.

 We note that St. Juste has not denied that he has demanded, and then received, illegal compensation, for simply doing his job. If Saint Kitts' government does not terminate him, forthwith, then the entire CBI program should be blacklisted by all potential applicants, as it is corrupt to the core, and PM TERRANCE DREW should resign in disgrace, for allowing such a travesty to continue.

TELLING INDIVIDUALS WITH DODGY BACKGROUNDS THAT THEY CAN HIDE BEHIND THE NEW, PROPOSED ARGENTINIAN CBI PASSPORT SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT THE INVESTMENT MIGRATION INDUSTRY

If you read the new article, touting the many listed advantages investors will be able to enjoy, when they acquire the newest entry into the controversial economic passport sales scheme, claiming that if they buy a passport from Argentina, they will be ignored upon arrival at Heathrow, by inquiring immigration officials sensitive to the dangers of criminals holding CBI passports, you are right to be concerned. The fact that passport sales media admits that Caribbean CBI passport holders are subject to interrogation, or even barred from entry, speak volumes about their overt efforts to aid people to effectively sidestep law enforcement agents intent upon blocking dodgy individuals from entering Europe.

That smug attitude, and sales pitch, betrays the fact that the investment migration industry could care less about selling passports, with substantial commissions, to borderline clients intent upon dodging effective European immigration controls. White collar criminals will flock to companies using such marketing techniques, in our humble opinion.Eventually, Argentine passports will themselves become suspect, and the investment migration industry will move to a new jurisdiction, and the process be repeated, until immigration officers, and the world's banks, learn to decline CBI passports proffered, for risk management purposes, CBI-facilitated crime, especially money laundering and fraud, will continue to outwit the world's law enforcement agencies.

A FEDERAL JUDGE FINALLY HAS THE STOMACH TO GIVE OUT A 20-YEAR SENTENCE FOR MONEY LAUNDERING; P.S. IT WAS WELL DESERVED

My pet peeve with the American criminal justice system is the reluctance of the judiciary to impose the maximum 20-year sentence for money laundering, even in the most egregious cases. Today's court news involves such a sentence, where it was richly deserved.

ANDREW HAMILTON JACOBUS, a South Florida based financial advisor, who was in truth and in fact operating a Ponzi scheme, received a twenty year sentence from Miami-based U.S. District Judge JACQUELINE BECERRA. Jacobus defrauded his 150 victims, which included members of the Venezuelan clergy, of more than $94m. He was convicted of money laundering and wire fraud.

The press release from the U.S. Attorney says it all:
“This was a $94 million international fraud built on lies and broken trust,” said U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones for the Southern District of Florida. “The defendant preyed on families, professionals, and faith-based institutions across our community and beyond. At 64 years old, he was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison. That sentence reflects the real harm to victims and sends a clear message: sophisticated financial fraud will be exposed and punished in South Florida."

MEET MINISTER WILFRED ABRAHAMS, BARBADOS' PARAGON OF CORRUPTION; HE'S UP FOR REELECTION NEXT WEEK

 

For starters on exposing the institutional corruption within Barbados government and its judicial system, in advance of the upcoming 11 February elections,  Meet Wilfred Abrahams BLP, MP for Christ Church East, Attorney at Law, seeking a continuous Third Term with Mia Motley. He has recently acted as Attorney General, replacing Dale Marshall, AG and Minister of Legal Affairs, and another Barbados Poster Child for corruption.

Prior to becoming Minister, Mr. Abrahams could be best described as the neighborhood alligator or Jaws, swimming for the next prey. As a lawyer he is known to wheel and deal on both sides of the law; his corruption racket includes high ranking officials within the Barbados Police Service. They would set up false arrests of innocent Bajan individuals, and Mr. Abrahams would step up as the victim’s legal defender, shaking down their families for thousands of dollars.  

 We are beginning to learn from Confidential Sources within US law enforcement that Mr. Abrahams has been on their radar since 2018, for money laundering conspiracy, to facilitate the delivery of narcotics to the United States, amongst many other violations of US law. Person or persons currently incarcerated who are now facing long prison sentences in the US are now cooperating with law enforcement, which may result in his indictment in the United States. Abrahams is currently facing continuous accusations that he engaged in the mishandling an investigation surrounding abuse of children at the government industrial school.

The head of the Barbados Prison Service, Lieutenant John Nurse, was sent on forced leave, pending investigation of corruption that took place under Abrahams' management. The question is, considering how corrupt the judicial system is in Barbados, will Abrahams ever face justice in his home country for all his past crimes, or will justice come for his victims via the US justice system ? Will the names of the crew of corrupt officials who support his criminal activities, now come to light? Stay tuned.   

  

YET ANOTHER CARIBBEAN PREMIER CONVICTED OF MONEY LAUNDERING REMINDS US THAT SYSTEMIC CORRUPTION INFECTING THE LEADERS OF THE CARIBBEAN IS UNIVERSAL

MICHAEL MISICK, the former premier of the British Overseas territory of the TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS, was convicted of money laundering and bribery, together with his attorney brother, THOMAS MISICK, and former government minister McALLISTER HANCHELL. Misick's conviction, which follows the conviction of former BVI Premier ANDREW FAHIE, now serving time in a American prison for money laundering and other offenses, is believed to be only the first in a number of future indictments of senior Caribbean leaders for corruption, money laundering and fraud charges.

The East Caribbean CBI states, all of whose prime ministers, TERRANCE DREW, GASTON BROWNE, ROOSEVELT SKERRIT, PHILIP J. PIERRE and DICKON MITCHELL, have all been implicated in illegal activity connected with their countries' beleaguered Citizenship by Investment (CBI and CIP) passport sales programs, are all considered by knowledgeable legal observers in the region to be facing the real possibility of indictment in the United States. Their administrations have been fatally infected by corruption, spawned by the lure of easy money, in the nature of bribes and kickbacks, paid to them covertly by companies controlled by the Peoples' Republic of China. Their unlimited greed and avarice will be their undoing, as they put their own needs above that of those whom they swore to represent and serve.

The deposit of those illicit funds into correspondent accounts at American financial institutions, which violate the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986, and carry a maximum penalty of 20 years' imprisonment, plus major fines, expose these corrupt leaders to the American criminal justice system. Their arrogance, in accepting what they know is illegal compensation, knows no bounds, and we trust that justice will be administered swiftly and universally in time.

WHEN WILL THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT CONDUCT AN EXTERNAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE ANGUILLA COMMERCIAL REGISTRY, GIVEN OUR FINDINGS OF MISCONDUCT, AND FEARS OF SYSTEMIC CORRUPTION

As we have indicated, the Anguilla Registry of Companies appears to have some serious deficiencies, and the actions of its staff, are obviously improper, may be in violation of the law, and require an investigation, to ascertain whether they occurred as the result of corruption, undue influence, or Malfeasance in Office.

Our whistleblower, as a victim, took all the necessary steps to notify government of the situation, and there has not been any remedial action taken. Government had a good chance to fix everything and chose to do nothing. Therefore, we must continue to publish the evidence of the fraudulent restart of both Prime Investments Limited and Yellow River Inc at the same time and date by the Registry, responding to the improper requests from the corporate service firms, for the fraudster.

Additionally, we call upon the Office of the Governor to request that an independent investigation and audit of the Registry of Companies be conducted by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), which is the primary British agency responsible for oversight in Anguilla, forthwith. We won't know the extent of the problems without a thorough audit. Whether there needs to be a Commission of Inquiry we cannot say, but we will be watching.

THE WORLD'S BIGGEST MONEY LAUNDERER, AND GASTON BROWNE'S "DIPLOMAT," ALEX SAAB MORAN, HAS BEEN ARRESTED IN CARACAS IN A JOINT VENEZUELAN, FBI AND MOSSAD OPERATION

Reports from Caracas has confirmed that the Colombian money launderer ALEX SAAB MORAN, who moved millions in narcotics profits for the Maduro regime, as well as conducted terrorist financing for HEZBOLLAH, has been detained there. The arresting agencies involved are the American FBI, the Israeli intelligence service MOSSAD, and SEBIN, Venezuela's domestic intelligence agency.

Saab's diplomatic appointment as Economic Envoy for Antigua, by Prime Minister GASTON BROWNE, whilst he was laundering drug profits into his two local offshore banks there, and through the most prominent indigenous bank, GLOBAL BANK OF COMMERCE, badly damaged Antigua in the international banking world. Browne's personal business transactions with the Colombian money launderer, raised the Country Risk on Antigua & Barbuda to a level where many international banks blocked wire transfers to and from the two island Eastern Caribbean state.

Saab was formerly in American custody, and was facing a probable Life Sentence, when he was exchanged in 2023 for ten American hostages held by the Maduro regime. The Hezbollah terrorist financing allegations could see him tried in Israel, as well as in the United States. Whether he will now cooperate against Antigua's Gaston Browne, and any other Antiguan officials is a question on the minds of many legal minds, as he seeks to avoid spending the rest of his life in a maximum security prison.

ANTIGUA'S CORRUPT ATTORNEY GENERAL IS SEEKING TO FLEECE THE UNITED KINGDOM ON PUBLIC PROJECTS IN ANTIGUA AS WELL AS BARBUDA

Local contractors in ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA are reporting that the country's Attorney General, STEADROY OLIVERO BENJAMIN, has told them that, if they undertake the new prison project in Antigua, as well as the proposed airport in Barbuda, they will be required to pad their contracts with additional sums, in essence kickbacks or bribes, to get the business, which will be covertly paid over to AG Benjamin, as a condition of their engagement. Inasmuch as the funding is being provided by the government of the United Kingdom, this arrogant payment demand constitutes a serious violation of the UK BRIBERY ACT.

Benjamin, who our sources confirm was previously implicated in major passport fraud violations in Antigua, and only escaped criminal charges by virtue of his remaining in government, has been repeatedly linked to corrupt actions regarding the administration of justice in the two island nation, including delaying the MEHUL CHOKSI extradition in local courts for several years. Thus is not the first time he has been associated with a demand for bribes and other illegal compensation, in connection with his office.

We trust that the United Kingdom, upon learning of the situation regarding the inclusion of substantial bribes for Benjamin, as a condition of receiving these building contracts, that it engages external management, to insure that the costs do not include bribes to him. Additionally, a criminal investigation into attempted violations of the Bribery Act should be initiated in London.

FROM CARIBBEAN MEDIA NOV. 2, 2023:

AMERICA MUST BUILD HOUSING FOR ITS DEPORTEES SHIPPED TO THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN, TO CONTAIN CHINA, AND INCREASE ITS INFLUENCE IN THE REGION

The idea of having the United States employ its own contractors to build the necessary housing and supporting medical and administrative facilities for those individuals which it will be deporting to Antigua and Dominica, under signed agreements, is a win-win for both America and the Caribbean:

(1) It allows the U.S. to more closely monitor Chinese activity in the region.
(2) It results in construction jobs, and business, for locals, rather than the usual import, by China, of its own labor and materials, because otherwise, China will enter the construction picture.
(3) In the event of national disaster, America has facilities in the region which can assist in rescue and recovery, as needed, without the usual delay of bringing in assets from the Continental United States.
(4) The new self-contained American medical facilities can provide emergency services for post-hurricane relief, if local services are destroyed.
(5) It would give residents of the West Indies, who believe that the U.S. is engaged in benign neglect of the region, with few embassies and little cultural outreach, a positive indication of American concerns.

As you know, the residents of these two island nations have expressed serious concerns about the impact of the presence of the deportees upon their economy, public safety, housing availability, and availability of consumer goods. This action would go a long way towards responding to those concerns. 

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 satisfactory evidence in rebuttal. Clearly, the responsibility 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 individuals 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.
