WILL A FUTURE DOMINICA GOVERNMENT REVOKE ALL THOSE ILLEGALLY DISCOUNTED PASSPORTS?

What I am seeing, and my sources confirming, is that these three PAKISTAN-based CBI consultancies are selling DOMINICA citizenships at deep discounts from the legal minimums:

SAAD AHSAN IMMGRATION
FORECAST IMMIGRATION
MW IMMIGRATION

If and when there is regime change in the Commonwealth of Dominica, which could come, due to (1) the visa sanctions imposed by the USA (2) The two-year old termination of visa free status by the UK, and (3) ETIAS somtime this Fall to the EU, will the next Dominica government rule that these heavily discounted passports are void Ab Initio? That is precisely what I would do, notwithstanding that a prior government had accepted them. What will happen in Dominica?

THE ANATOMY OF DENIAL; ANALYZING THE FACILITATOR'S PLAYBOOK

"The interactions with Momil Khan and Neda Azarmehr are textbook examples of what I term 'The Facilitator's Denial.'

In my latest investigation into the systemic rot within certain CBI circles, I have encountered two distinct responses that perfectly illustrate the 'Facilitator’s Playbook.' When exposed, the actors behind these schemes rely on two primary tactics: Rebranding and Strategic Disengagement.

The Case of Momil Khan: Rebranding a Violation

When confronted with documented evidence of illegal discounts—a direct violation of the 2024 Memorandum of Agreement (MoA)—Momil Khan’s instinct was to label the act an 'overly ambitious marketing approach.' This is a classic attempt to sanitize a legal transgression. Selling a nation’s sovereignty at a deep discount is not 'marketing'; it is a systemic attack on the integrity of the program.

The Case of Neda Azarmehr: The 'Service Provider' Shield

Neda Azarmehr’s defense is even more revealing. She claims her involvement in the Grenada project was 'strictly limited to promotional and documentation support.' In the world of international financial crime, this is the standard defense of the facilitator. Facilitators rarely hold shares or decision-making power; instead, their role is to provide the veneer of legitimacy through marketing and documentation that allows fraudulent schemes to attract victims. 

Her admission that she 'severed all involvement' only after 'concerns arose' raises a critical question: What were those concerns, and why were they not identified during professional due diligence before the 'promotional support' began? To claim to be a mere 'service provider' while the machinery of a project is being questioned is an attempt to enjoy the profits of promoting illegal discounts and prices without the burden of accountability.

The Common Thread: Accountability vs. Ignorance*

Both Khan and Azarmehr attempt to hide behind professional terminology—'marketing oversight' or 'documentation support'—to evade the ethical responsibility of their roles. They want us to believe they are passive bystanders in a system they actively promoted.

Public accountability does not require a shareholder certificate; it requires an analysis of who provided the engine for these schemes. 

The evidence—the illegal price lists, the promotional campaigns, and the records of involvement—will remain *until the very day justice arrives. These are not 'false allegations'; they are the public record of a culture of impunity. 

Facilitators who operate in the shadows of legality must understand: promoting illegal discount prices is not a marketing error; it is a systemic attack on the integrity of CBI programs. By engaging in this predatory price war, facilitators like Momil Khan, Neda Azarmehr, and others are not just 'selling passports'—they are laundering the process and endangering the travel freedoms of every legitimate citizen of these nations."

WE RESPOND TO A CBI CONSULTANT THAT ADVERTISED AN ILLEGAL DISCOUNT ON DOMINICA CBI PASSPORTS

Hello Momil, thank you for your message.

While I acknowledge your request, I find the description of this matter as an 'overly ambitious marketing approach' to be a glaring mischaracterization. To frame the promotion of illegal activities as a 'marketing oversight' is not only a misrepresentation of facts but a transparent attempt to evade the professional and ethical responsibilities inherent in your role. The damage caused by these actions—the devaluation of Dominica's sovereignty and the long-term harm to its citizens—cannot be rectified by simply deleting a social media campaign.

In my recent analysis of the 'Untouchable Facilitators' within the CBI industry, I have detailed exactly how agencies and vendors act as the engine of these schemes by promoting illegal discounts and distorting the truth to attract investors, and why they must be held fully accountable. 

https://rijock.blogspot.com/2026/06/the-untouchable-facilitators-why-rcbi.html?m=1

The long-term consequences—where citizens of Dominica bear the brunt of a devalued passport, and investors are exposed to travel bans, financial loss, and the potential revocation of their citizenship—cannot be erased by the removal of a post.

True corrective action requires more than deleting a post; it requires a commitment to ending the culture of impunity that allows facilitators to operate outside the law while claiming ignorance. The evidence, including the images, serves as a public record of these practices. For these reasons, and in the interest of transparency and accountability, the article and its accompanying evidence will remain for now. They will eventually be deleted.

I hope you and your organization will consider the real impact of these 'marketing' choices on the people of Dominica. I encourage you to move beyond 'corrective actions' on your own platforms and instead advocate for a transparent, legal, and ethical CBI process that respects both the laws and the people of Dominica.

WHAT WILL THE EVIDENCE OF HAMILTON BANK'S SRI LANKA GOVERNMENT BOND TRADES SHOW?

If you read my recent article, posing this question: DID HAMILTON RESERVE BANK INTENTIONALLY AND DELIBERATELY MAKE A LARGE INVESTMENT, KNOWING THAT IT WOULD RESULT IN AN INABILITY TO PAY ITS DEPOSITORS ON DEMAND?

https://rijock.blogspot.com/2026/06/did-hamilton-reserve-bank-intentionally.html

then you know what specific issue concerns me. While I am certainly not qualified, not being a bond trader, to pass upon the propriety of the repeated purchases of Sri Lanka Government bonds, the facts are that the credit rating of Sri Lanka had fallen into the non-investment grade, also known as "junk," category in 2021, when the purchases started, and which worsened by 2022, when there was a sovereign default.

As one experienced financial professional explained, even a novice bond trader would have refrained from purchasing these instruments in 2021, as they were highly speculative. No explanation has ben offered to date as to why Hamilton officers chose to make such a high risk investment. Of course, it is up to a court of competent jurisdiction, acting as a trier of fact, to determine, based upon all the evidence available, whether an possible misconduct occurred, and we are hoping that, in at least one of the many pending cases, that findings of fact and conclusions of law answer our questions.

As we continue to review the pleadings in several of the pending proceedings in Nevis, we shall endeavor to shed more light on this troubling scandal. It is also important to note that the government regulator is also a party defendant in some of the litigation filed by depositors who consider themselves victims. Whether it is liable to the plaintiffs is yet another issue to be determined by the courts in Nevis.

ST. KITTS' BILZARIAN MONEY LAUNDERING INDICTMENT OPENS A CAN OF WORMS REGARDING RUMOURS OF SALE OF ANTIGUA'S GOVERNMENT-OWNED CARIBBEAN UNION BANK (CUB) TO CHINA

The scandal surrounding the $50m money laundering indictment filed in SaintKitts & Nevis against American corporate raider and fugitive from justice PAUL BILZARIAN, his wife, and a business partner who operates Bilzarian's business empire from Antigua, has reopened controversy over the bleeding financial wound in St. John's known as CARIBBEAN UNION BANK, which is majority government owned and in fiscal difficulty.

Reportedly, Antigua's PM GASTON BROWNE, who previously attempted to get Bilzarian to buy shares of the bank, first those held by his family, and then later the entire 80% owned by the Government of Antigua, back in 2025. There are also rumours that, following the collapse of that transaction, Browne offered the bank stock to an unidentified Nigerian businessman. Unfortunately, no further information is available on that unsuccessful attempt to bring in a new party to recapitalize the bank from an African source.

Finally, there apparently has been a more recent interest in the acquisition of CUB; this was was reportedly from a Chinese financial entity. Given that such matters do not occur without securing prior approval at the highest levels of government in China, we see this as an additional effort by China to exert a level of control over Antigua's decision makers. If it comes to fruition, such a transaction will be seen as an unfriendly act by the Government of the United States, which is actively seeking to reduce China's role in the Eastern Caribbean. The current American administration has made it clear that it regards the Caribbean as its Sphere of Influence, to the exclusion of all outside powers, pursuant to the Monroe Doctrine, whose Roosevelt Corollary should give Antigua pause, should it contemplate selling an indigenous bank to a Chinese company.

One additional and serious wrinkle: CUB had an incestuous relationship with another indigenous bank, GLOBAL BANK OF COMMERCE, now under administration, and their connection reportedly included substantial transfers from Venezuela, which means that there may be connections revealed in the NICOLAS MADURO MOROS case (SDNY), the ALEX SAAB MORAN case(SDFL) and a third as yet unfiled financial crime indictment also in SDFL. Will CUB turn out to be too hot to sell?

NEVER OPEN AN ACCOUNT IN ANY BANK WITHOUT FIRST CONDUCTING DUE DILIGENCE

Yesterday, I received this huge marketing email from HAMILTON RESERVE BANK, detailing the bank's many services. The bank's global correspondents are all prominent international financial institutions, and if I was not well informed about the multiple lawsuits pending against the bank by depositors, alleging that they were getting excuses and delays from staff when they attempted to make withdrawals in the ordinary course of business, I could entertain opening an account. In truth and in fact, some of these individuals have millions of dollars on deposit at Hamilton, yet assert that they access their money, in civil suits and claims made by their representatives. What's wrong with this picture?

I am forever fascinated when I see that affluent individuals, who would never attempt real estate purchases, or the acquisition of ongoing businesses, choose to dive right into a new banking relationship, without have a competent professional conduct a due diligence inquiry into pending and threatened litigation, issues with regulators, possible negative information in the financial press, pending criminal investigation, labor problems, whistleblower complaints, and possible fiscal solvency issues. To do any less, and then to be taken in by glossy advertising or promotions, is no less than negligence. Litigation information in most jurisdictions has gone digital, and is available online, either free or for a token cost. Most media is also online, as are regulatory reports and financial news. And does the local court system follow the Rule of Law, or is it corrupt and subject to external pressure?

So why do individuals who know better, give in to temptation, or a clever marketing campaign, touting bank secrecy and stability, and send their wealth offshore, without a check on the destination, and who is behind it?

AFTER ELEVEN YEARS, IRAN'S BIGGEST MONEY LAUNDERER, REZA ZARRAB, IS SCHEDULED FOR SENTENCING IN NEW YORK

The principal money launderer for the Islamic Republic of Iran's sanctioned global oil sales program, REZA ZARRAB a/k/a Risa Sarraf, has finally been scheduled for sentencing in SDNY on July 14, 2026. Zarrab's case was a gentle reminder to career criminals, they are best advised not to come to the United States, to take in Walt Disney World with their families, lest they find out, alas, too late, that they have a sealed indictment pending against them.

Our extensive previous coverage of the case does not bear repeating; what we really want to know is whether Zarrab will cheat blind justice through his extensive, but private, cooperation with what can only have been one of our intelligence services, for no other government agency can take a major criminal out of custody, during his case, and give him the degree of freedom that Zarrab has enjoyed. This includes, but is not limited to, years in South Florida at a horse ranch, and the freedom to roam around Manhattan at will, unsupervised. I don't know what secrets about Iran that he disclosed, or what cooperation he engaged in, but he has evaded accountability for his many crimes thus far. Will he walk out with Time Served? Stay tuned.

DOMINICA CONTINUES TO ALLOW ITS CBI VENDORS TO SELL PASSPORTS AT AN ILLEGAL DEEP DISCOUNT; WHY IS NOBODY IN THE CARIBBEAN STOPPING ROOSEVELT SKERRIT?

The Commonwealth of Dominica, in open defiance of the 2024 Memorandum of Agreement, which it duly signed, is allowing and permitting its passport vendors to continue to sell Citizenship By Investment passports at illegal discounts, from USD$45,000 to 90,000. Look at this arrogant advert; it appears that the Agreement, which has no enforcement provisions, is beiong brazenly ignored by Dominica's Prime Minister, ROOSEVELT SKERRIT, who should have long ago been cashiered for running the CIU as if it was a criminal racketeering enterprise. Dominicans risk further American sanctions, due to this serious violation of the Agreement; perhaps their greed and avarice has gotten the best of them.

Our sources have confirmed that Dominica has been selling CBI at an illegal discount for more than two years, ever since its American correspondent bank, BANK OF AMERICA, cancelled its relationship with the country's passport sales program. Given this continuing violation, perhaps US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will impose additional restrictions and sanctions upon all Dominican passport holders, or restrict travel and trade, which would crash the small Caribbean nation's fragile economy, as its government tries to pay for the construction of a massive international airport, solely with CBI income. What if nobody wants a Dominican passport any more, given its soon-to-come loss of EU visa-free entry, due to the looming ETIAS? It is already not welcome in the UK or US. What will happen, Mr. Skerrit?

DID HAMILTON RESERVE BANK INTENTIONALLY AND DELIBERATELY MAKE A LARGE INVESTMENT, KNOWING THAT IT WOULD RESULT IN AN INABILITY TO PAY ITS DEPOSITORS ON DEMAND?

As we get further into all the pending litigation against HAMILTON RESERVE BANK of Nevis, which are cases filed by depositors, after the bank failed to remit to them any portion of the demand deposits they had at the bank, a new and extremely disturbing allegation has surfaced. One claimant has alleged that the bank's large SRI LANKA investment was willfully made by bank officers, knowing that it would result in the bank's inability to pay its existing depositors from their accounts.

If true, criminal liability could attach to the bank officers who made that decision; one has been named, but we are refraining from identifying him, due to a pending investigation, and public disclosure might spur him to relocate to an extradition-proof jurisdiction. As there are bank officers with dark pasts and dodgy history, most compliance officers can easily figure out the answer, which will eventually surface in the cases failed by unhappy depositors, who have now become victims of what is alleged to be fraudulent conduct.

As we delve deeper and deeper into the active and pending litigation against Hamilton Reserve Bank, more details will emerge; stay tuned.

THE OECS, NOW LED BY ANTIGUA PM GASTON BROWNE, WILL NOW DESPERATELY PETITION THE EU TO KEEP ITS VISA FREE STATUS; DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH, GASTON

It appears that GASTON BROWNE, now Chairman of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), cannot read; the EU, in a major policy statement, has ruled that it will no longer extend visa-free entry to any jurisdiction that sells economic Citizenships (CBI/CIP). This essentially removes the sole major benefit that attracts individuals from high-risk countries to Caribbean CBI passports., and as this Fall, the EU initiates 100% screening of visitors via its ETIAS scheme, there will be an existential threat to the lucrative CBI programs that have supported dysfunctional Caribbean economies for decades, hence the OECS, and Browne's fears for an insolvent Antiguan Government unable to pay its swollen and often superfluous staff.

Remember, the EU, which has forced its Members to terminate, with prejudice, all three of its former CBI programs ( Cyprus, Bulgaria and Malta), due to a lack of actual residency, contact with and knowledge of local culture, and direct ties with their adopted state, and this is an ironclad decision in its part. The OECS will not bend, and Browne, who faces potential indictment in the United States in any one of three Federal criminal cases ( Maduro, Saab Moran and a new yet unfiled Miami case), is feeling pressure from his constituents, who fear the CIP gravy train is coming to and end, and are still angry about their loss of US visa privileges.

The choice of Browne to be Chairman, through the rotation, was a poor and
dangerous act on the part of the OECS, whose other Members may now face adverse actions they did not choose to endure, should Browne alienate the EU, the US or the UK, through his acts and needs whilst in office. Browne could inflict pain on all of the regional members, as they have no control over him; Things are about to get worse.
