LET'S TALK ABOUT OFFSHORE BANK ACCOUNTS — THE ONES NO ONE WANTS TO MENTION

As a delegation from the OECS countries has been appointed to go to Washington, D.C. to

discuss visa sanctions, refugee arrangements, and the future of CBI programs, the public

deserves to know what U.S. authorities are actually investigating.

Recent U.S. arrests of Caribbean CBI passport holders originating from China—individuals

involved in money laundering and espionage activities on American soil—have triggered a

major federal investigation. That investigation, led by U.S. law enforcement and financial 

authorities, has uncovered offshore bank accounts linked to Caribbean officials who enabled 

and profited from corrupted CBI schemes.

U.S. authorities tracked the money. They followed financial trails through offshore jurisdictions

and identified accounts that are the direct proceeds of Chinese-linked corruption embedded

in Caribbean CBI programs.The U.S. State Department is fully informed of these findings 

and is acting based on evidence produced by American authorities.

Sanctions do not happen by accident . For more than 15 years, I warned Caribbean CBI 

governments to stop playing with fire by selling sovereignty to China. Those warnings were 

ignored. Today, the consequences are unavoidable.

Caribbean governments—and parts of South America—are now discovering that President

Trump and Secretary Marco Rubio are not playing games. This administration does not

negotiate with corruption; it confronts it head-on.

The real question now is no longer if, but when, will offshore bank accounts be frozen next;

just as they were in the case of Nicolás Maduro and his inner circle? Maduro himself is already 

politically finished inside Venezuela. He and his wife are expected to cooperate, and that 

cooperation will not stop in Caracas. It will expose foreign facilitators, including Caribbean 

leaders tied to drug trafficking, money laundering, and Chinese-backed influence networks.

The era of denial is over. The financial trails are mapped. The names are known; accountability 

is coming.
