CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT SALESMEN ARE FORGING SIGNATURES AND ALTERING DOCUMENTS WITHOUT CLIENT KNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT, IN A NEW CARIBBEAN CBI/CIP SCANDAL

I have multiple reports from CBI applicants advising that their economic passport salesmen have been placing counterfeit signatures on SAINT LUCIA applications, changing information on forms prior to submitting them, and engaging in what amounts to criminal conduct. In one case that I am familiar with, the SAINT LUCIA CIU is going to terminate the license of a Middle Eastern passport vendor; in another, termination is on the agenda at a Dubai company.

If applicants for economic citizenship are denied a passport, and later learn that the reason was san unauthorized, and unapproved, change in the documents that they submitted to their sales agent, then lawyers retained by those unhappy clients should feel free to institute civil suits for money damages, as well as notify the media after such suits are filed. Applicants for economic passports now cannot trust their salesmen to be honest in representing them; there will be consequences in the marketplace, among consumers, when they learn of this problem. Of course the reputation damage to those companies will be severe. I will be disclosing their identities in additional articles.

Sounds like just one more scandal in an investment migration industry already scarred by fraud, money laundering and corruption.
