BARBADOS, WHERE LAWYERS CAN STEAL FROM THEIR CLIENTS WITH IMPUNITY

Where did Attorney Vonda Pile hide all that money?

Barbados continues to be the jurisdiction where the local culture not only allows, it actually encourages the local legal profession, swollen with far too many attorneys, to steal estate inheritances, real estate sales proceeds, insurance recoveries, and whatever other client assets they acquire, without any fear of the consequences. We have repeatedly exposed the plight of illiterate clients, who have literally been stolen blind by the lawyers that they trusted. 

Lawyers in Barbados are free to repeatedly break the law,  and to victimize their clients one after another, because there simply is no effective self-regulation of a "profession" which has become a Gathering of Thieves who become rich through crime. Some even stray into organized crime, as the firebombing death of a local attorney, together with her entire family, by alleged drug traffickers unhappy she stole criminal proceeds intended to be the subject of money laundering, illustrates. 

Barbados attorney VONDA PILE, who stole almost Bds$200,000 from a client, and who elected to serve three years in prison, rather than return the money, was recently released from custody, and was seen arrogantly representing a new client in court this week. The local Bar Disciplinary Committee advises that they have no jurisdiction to disbar her, because Barbados does not require practising attorneys to be members. Ms. Pile is merely the latest in a very long line of attorney-criminals, who can happily operate with impunity.

Evil is alive and well in Barbados, living and thriving in a local legal profession driven by greed and avarice, and unchecked by a government itself populated by attorney-politicians. The people absolutely distrust all attorneys as the result, as they should.  There is no justice in Barbados.
