MORE ON FRAUD AGAINST BANK OF SAINT LUCIA IN THE SCANDAL INVOLVING THE COUNTRY'S PRIME MINISTER

This is Part Two of our article originally published on September 1, 2025 entitled (SAINT LUCIA PRIME MINISTER AIDED ESCAPE OF CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER FROM THE UNITED STATES) https://rijock.blogspot.com/2025/09/saint-lucia-prime-minister-aided-escape.html    :

(18 U.S.C. § 3771. Crime victims' rights mandate the right to be reasonably protected from the accused. Additionally, Officers and employees of the Department of Justice and other departments and agencies of the United States engaged in the detection, investigation, or prosecution of crime shall make their best efforts to see that crime victims’  names and address  are not made public and are notified of, and accorded, the rights described under the foregoing statutes. Therefore, it is imperative we do not identify the victims of this atrocious and International crime).

The victims’ home surveillance camera captured Diane Spencer Mauricette, Chris Anthony Spencer (in the white baseball cap) and Kevin Spencer, in his United Airlines uniform, standing in the victims’ driveway on the date they made threats and intimidation, forcing the victims to drive to their bank, with the intent to launder money fraudulently obtained from the Bank of St. Lucia into their personal accounts.

We are also showing a text from Diane Spencer Mauricette. authorizing the transfer to Kevin’s account, which constitutes and violates United States statutes on money laundering. (see attached Text messages from Diane )  to include how to wire transfer disbursed fraudulent funds.

More importantly, Christ Anthony Spencer, and Real Estate agent at Atlanta Real Estate & Property Mgmt., 2090 Baker Road, Suite 304-22 Kennesaw, GA 30144, and Kevin Spencer in his United Airlines uniform both F.A.A licensed licensed pilots initiated intimidation, with verbal threats of bodily harm, with  direct coercion to the victim’s daughter, via text messages (attached) enhancing the seriousness of their criminal acts, pursuant to North Carolina and Federal criminal statutes .

While Diane continues to be in hiding in St. Lucia, The Federal Aviation Administration and other US governmental agencies are reportedly continuing their investigation into Chris Anthony Spencer and Kevin Spencer, who allegedly used their aviation expertise while engaged in criminal conduct.

Chris Anthony Spencer

Since press time of our first article, we have received numerous emails from concerned St. Lucians on the island and in the US, providing our publication additional information on Chris Spencer’s questionable business practices.

All the information and evidence in this article was obtained from U.S. law enforcement agencies and intelligence services, as well as open-source information available to the public.

Stay tuned for Part Three of our series on this Saint Lucia crime family.

MSR MEDIA WINS OVER GALAXY IN FEDERAL COURT: JUDGE APPROVES ITS §1782 PETITION FOR DISCOVERY FROM CARIBBEAN GALAXY ACCOUNTS AT STANDARD CHARTERED AND BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON

A United States District Judge in New York (SDNY) has approved the §1782 Discovery Application of MSR MEDIA, to obtain bank account records of CARIBBEAN GALAXY REAL ESTATE CORP, CARIBBEAN GALAXY GROUP and Galaxy official YING JEN, at Standard Chartered Bank and Bank of New York Mellon. The Court Order approved the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, which was filed earlier.

The Court, after explaining how MSR's case met all the requirements of the statute, and existing case law, overruled the objections to the Report and granted the Application. This decision comes after MSR Media, in a prior proceeding, was able to access bank account information at BANK OF AMERICA which reportedly confirmed massive money laundering, fraud and official corruption in the Citizenship by Investment (CBI/CIP) passport sales programs within several of the Eastern Caribbean states that sell economic citizenships.

This additional access, to the Galaxy accounts at Standard Chartered Bank, and Bank of New York Mellon, which was strongly opposed in this proceeding, is believed to provide MSR with a substantial amount of additional incriminating evidence.

SAINT LUCIA PRIME MINISTER AIDED ESCAPE OF CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER FROM THE UNITED STATES

The Prime Minister of Saint Lucia, PHILIP J. PIERRE, assisted by his country's foreign ministry, and a number of Saint Lucians resident inside the United States, conspired to aid the illegal escape of a convicted Sex Offender, DYLAN CHRISTIAN MAURICETTE, from America, where he had been sentenced to two years of Probation in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, with mandated monitoring and placement in the National Sex Offender Registry. Christian, from a prominent Saint Lucian family, who pled guilty to SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF A MINOR, and whose sentence of 5 to 15 months' incarceration was suspended, pending satisfactory completion of Probation, now has a warrant outstanding for his arrest, and has been the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice, requiring that he be detained by law enforcement, for Violations of Probation. He is in hiding in Saint Lucia.

The case has generated a large amount of public interest, due to the circumstances surrounding who aided and abetted him in his escape to Saint Lucia, which is a violation of the terms of his Probation, and subjects him to serve the entire term of his sentence of incarceration. His original bond was secured through a fraudulent USD$300,000 loan obtained from the Bank of Saint Lucia, by his mother DIANE SPENCER MAURICETTE, who has a pending application for US residency, with the reported assistance of the defendant's relative, CHRIS ANTHONY SPENCER, and cousin KEVIN SPENCER, both expat Saint Lucians residing in the United States. 

DIANE SPENCER MAURICETTE

SLC Prime Minister PHILIP J. PIERRE reportedly served as the reference for what has been referred to as a loan acquired under fraudulent circumstances. The loan proceeds were paid into the Mauricette family business, then wired through the Ministry of External Affairs, which is led by ALVA BAPTISTE, to the  Saint Lucia Embassy in Washington, to avoid compliance inquiries. Saint Lucia attorney VANDYKE ELIJAH JUDE, who its also admitted to practice in the United States, but who does not appear to have an office in America, was involved in the matter. Jude is a known associate of reputed SLC CIU head LORNE THEOPHILUS, and both are linked to money laundering through CIP applications. Pierre is a former client of the Mauricette family, who have a prominent place in Saint Lucia.

PM PHILIP  PIERRE

After the defendant bonded out, the Spencers set up what amounted to a front address in a residential apartment in Charlotte, to satisfy the requirement for the defendant's permanent residence for Sex Offender monitoring. KEVIN SPENCER, a professional pilot for UNITED AIRLINES, together with CHRIS ANTHONY SPENCER, had the defendant transported, via general aviation, to New York, where he took a commercial flight on JET BLUE at JFK International Airport, out of the country, inbound violation state and Federal law. Mauricette used a passport, supplied to him by the Saint Lucia Embassy, with an alias, with Kevin Spencer's assistance, to clear TSA security at JFK. 

KEVIN SPENCER

Subsequent to Mauricette's flight abroad to evade serving the terms of his sentence, Diane, Chris Anthony and Kevin Spencer ( the United Airlines pilot in company uniform) threatened the placement of a lien upon the victims' home, as well as physical harm, on the elderly North Carolina residents, to insure that the bond funds were returned to Kevin; a criminal complaint was filed in this matter, which was recorded on video, and is pending.

CHRIS ANTHONY SPENCER

The victims of the defendant's criminal conduct allegedly continue to be threatened by the Spencers, who claim to be associated with a Saint Lucia criminal organization located in Tampa, Florida, and elsewhere in the United States. We will continue to detail this unfolding story, including allegations of money laundering in connection with the Citizenship by Investment (CIP) program by attorneys, criminal conspiracy and bank fraud in Part Two of this story; Say tuned.

WITH RIF TRUST BANNED IN ST. KITTS FOR FRAUD, RIF'S MIMOUN ASSRAOUI HOLDS HANDS IN TOKYO WITH GALAXY'S WALTER TANG AND ST. LUCIA'S ERNEST HILAIRE

In a clear demonstration of the inability of the leaders of what is now being referred to as the investment migration Mafia to adhere to the laws and regulations that govern the sale of Citizenship by Investment (CBI/CIP) passports, here we find three of the most grievous offenders, MIMOUN ASSRAOUI of RIF TRUST, Investment Minister ERNEST HILAIRE of Saint Lucia, and CARIBBEAN GALAXY GROUP's WALTER TANG, thick as thieves at a major Tokyo event. the fact that they were even admitted speak volumes about the complete and total lack of any boundaries in the world of economic passport sales.

Look who we have here in Tokyo!

RIF has been blacklisted in Saint Kitts & Nevis for Underselling, yet Hilaire, himself the subject of a massive corruption, fraud and money laundering scandal at his CIU, finds his company scintillating, and both are joined at the hip by Galaxy's WALTER TANG, whose company illegally sold tens of millions of passports to Chinese criminals, intelligence agents, spies and white collar criminals, with impunity.

If you are actually thinking that the reforms now published in draft form will ever be adopted, let alone obeyed, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Just remember what happened to all those American Gangsters in the 1950s who believed that blind justice would never catch up to them.

FOREIGN INVESTORS SHOULD STEER CLEAR OF BARBADOS, AS RAMPANT MONEY LAUNDERING AND FRAUD RAGES UNCHECKED

We have written extensively on this blog regarding the systemic corruption in the Republic of Barbados, whereby many of the island's senior attorneys routinely engage in probate fraud, real estate fraud and money laundering, to steal and acquire valuable land, which they then convey to third parties, including European and American companies involved in building resorts. The victims are usually uneducated Bajans who are unaware that their deceased relative owned extensive real estate at the time of their death, and these lawyers illegally transfer title, using co-conspirators, and receive huge fees as the result. It is a dirty business, in part created by the surplus of licensed attorneys which exceeds the amount of legal work available for them to perform, and what amounts to moral bankruptcy among them.

Most legal experts believe that their actions regarding transfer of illegal sale proceeds and fees constitute money laundering, and that some of those payments being in US Dollars, confers extraterritorial jurisdiction under the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986, and case law construing that Act.

When some of victims became aware of the fraud, their efforts to obtain justice have been repeatedly foiled by the local bar association, the corrupt judiciary, and uncooperative government officials. The cases of JERRY NURSE and JOHN SCANTLEBURY, both of whom were cheated out of their rightful inheritance, are typical of the scams perpetrated against Bajans by unscrupulous local lawyers. The Government of Barbados ignores their plight, because in truth and in fact many of these same senior government officials have previously themselves been engaged in this illegal activity, and after becoming wealthy in this illicit manner, ran for office to acquire still more power, as well as impunity against any enforcement activities that might be brought against them by their victims. The jurisdiction is a legal nightmare of any victim of this fraud who seeks legal redress in any quarter, for the majority of judges are themselves guilty of committing these crimes when in private practice, or their close relatives fleeced the uneducated public in this amoral manner.

Inasmuch as neither the embassies of the United States nor the United Kingdom have assisted the victims in recovering their rightful patrimony, and there is no indication that foreign actors will ever involve themselves in internal Bajan politics, continued exposure to truth to power may be the only avenue to obtain justice. Meanwhile, foreign investors should not acquire any real estate, whether improved or not, for the status of real estate title will most likely not be valid, as it was acquired through fraud committed by lawyers probating the estates of local property owners.  This also means do not acquire any businesses, as they may have also been secured through fraud; caveat emptor.  

WILL THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE NEW 30-DAY CBI RESIDENTIAL REQUIREMENT BE DELAYED UNTIL 2026?

All this press coverage, in the investment migration media, about the virtues of having economic citizenship holders spend thirty days, within a five year period, in their new jurisdiction, may look nice, and in response to the American complaint about non-residents, but don't expect it to be a requirement anytime soon. All five CBI & CIP states must sign before it become effective.

In fact, I would be surprised if it is ratified before 2026; remember, when the five Eastern Caribbean CBI states signed the Memorandum of Agreement, SAINT LUCIA delayed signing for several months, and hustled through a large number of citizenships during that period, its CIU, under the control of INVESTMENT MINISTER ERNEST HILAIRE, frantically working nights and weekends, to complete sales at illegally discounted rates. Which EC state, looking to evade the 30-day residency requirement for their clients, will drag its heels this time?

If you have any doubts, take a close look at the attached portion of the Draft Agreement ( which is still not yet in final form, nor have comments and objections published, a month after they were due) to see the loophole. If the discounted sales pricing fraud was any indication, it will be quite a while before the Parliaments of the five CBI states pass the proposed legislation.

HAS THE UNITED STATES NOW REVOKED MULTIPLE VISAS FOR CARIBBEAN LEADERS LINKED TO MONEY LAUNDERING, FRAUD AND RAMPANT CORRUPTION?

 

If you saw the recent news about the planned U.S. State Department review of all existing visas, you know that continued visa access to the United States in the future will be subject to review. That apparently includes leaders of the CBI Caribbean states. The attached item was published this week; we have not as yet been able to confirm whether it is in fact a legal notice sent to PHILIP J. PIERRE, the Prime Minister of Saint Lucia, who has been linked to massive corruption, in connection with the country's CIP program, involving the Chinese economic passport sales company, CARIBBEAN GALAXY GROUP, but we shall endeavor to determine whether other senior Caribbean leaders known to be accepting bribes and kickbacks to transfer tens of thousands of passport files to dodgy Chinese companies are also now receiving such notices.

UPDATE: We now have breaking news to the effect that Pierre's visa has been revoked. Again, we stress that this information has not been confirmed through official sources. If true, what other senior leaders in the Caribbean have lost access to the US?

DOES THE SIMPLE POSSESSION OF A CBI PASSPORT FROM A CARIBBEAN TAX HAVEN EXPOSE THE HOLDER TO INCREASED RISK?

                                                                       Blackfridge Chief Executive Officer Zhijun Sun

I have long explained to my readers that the five economic passport issuing states in the Eastern Caribbean ( St. Kitts & Nevis, Antigua, Dominica, St. Lucia & Grenada) all have a long and sordid history as dodgy offshore tax havens, where international financial criminals and money launderers have long placed the proceeds of crime, and when investors purchase CBI passports, they run increased risk of drawing unwanted attention from the world's law enforcement agencies. This little detail has been pointedly ignored by the investment migration industry, but I believe that they are obligated to point it out, as part of full disclosure to consumers. Unfortunately, sellers of Caribbean CBI passports generally fail to disclose the specific risks attendant to their possession and use.

Perhaps now I will be taken seriously. Media in the Isle of Man is reporting that a number of Chinese nationals, all holding IOM residential visas, have had their visa revoked, meaning that they are now required to leave the jurisdiction forthwith, and are prohibited from reentry, upon pain of arrest. Their wives and children, (who attend local schools), have also had their residency rights cancelled. None of them can now enter both the Isle of Man as well as the UK. One of their companies, the fintech BLACKFRIDGE, has had its financial services license suspended.

The government has stated that the reason for this action is Confidential, which is allowed in cases involving National Security. It is noted that some of the individuals hold CBI and CIP passports from Saint Kitts & Nevis and Saint Lucia; one of the individuals was physically in Saint Lucia, when the IOM government took these actions. The presence of these individuals was said to be "not conducive to the Public Good."

We will be watching future developments, involving any similar governmental actions against holders of Caribbean CBI passports, and advise our readers accordingly. We thank our readers in compliance sector in the Isle of Man for bringing it to our attention.

HOW FAR WILL THE UNITED STATES GO IN CLEANING UP CARIBBEAN MONEY LAUNDERING THROUGH CBI?

PM Philip J. Pierre

The five East Caribbean states that sell Citizenship by Investment (CBI) passports continue to oppose efforts by the current American administration to truly reform their programs, fatally infected with corruption, fraud and money laundering. The lure of easy money from CBI, without effective safeguards to prevent corruption, has resulted in the same opportunistic moral bankruptcy in the Eastern Caribbean that plagued the region during the previous period when these newly-independent states openly laundered billions of dollars in narcotics profits earned in North America.

It is easy to see that reform of these CBI programs will not come from within. You have only to see the comments posted by voters in Saint Lucia, when details of massive CBI corruption, led by the country's Prime Minister, PHILIP J. PIERRE, are exposed; they choose to vilify the state's Opposition, rather than pay proper attention to solving what has now become an international nightmare for the island nation. They also pointedly ignore the billions of dollars in CBI revenue the country's Investment Minister, DPM ERNEST HILAIRE, has allowed to be transferred to Hong Kong by the Chinese-controlled CARIBBEAN GALAXY GROUP, while Hilaire has become the personification of abject corruption in the region. All five countries have similar problems.

DPM Hilaire

West Indians in the CBI states have all drunk the cash cow cool aid offered by their corrupt leaders; we cannot expect to see any significant reform during our lifetimes. Given that what amounts to government-sponsored racketeering is adversely affecting the United States, posing not only money laundering but even national security threats, we are staring to see American pushback, which will not only be economically painful for these countries, who are utterly dependent upon CBI funding for their bloated government budgets, but will have real-life consequences for their native-born citizens.

Twenty five years ago, in the aftermath of 9/11, when the United States last paid serious attention to Caribbean money laundering, I proposed what amount to radical measures to suppress the problem. While the concern then was drug money laundering and potential terrorist financing, and today it's money laundering and corruption due to CBI, the same radical steps are both necessary and appropriate. Shut down the correspondent accounts with U.S. banks, until the CBI programs are either effectively reformed, with outside supervision and control, or are terminated. Nothing short of that will suffice.

WHAT WILL US BANKS AND REGULATORS DO TO THE CARIBBEAN BANKS THAT TRY AN END RUN AROUND AML COMPLIANCE?

If you have seen the Comment posted in response to yesterday's article, NEW PILOT ALTERNATIVE PAYMENT AND SETTLEMENT SYSTEM OF FOUR CARIBBEAN CENTRAL BANKS ANNOUNCED, AVOIDING THE ROUTING OF CBI MONEY THROUGH THE U.S. BANKING SYSTEM, here is the relevant section:

"Thanks for posting Kenneth Rijock . As we see this will not just assist CBI programs but also avoid or circumvent regularly checks... The question is what the corresponding banks and the regulators will do to these banks."

The three banks involved in the proposed program, in Barbados, the Bahamas and a yet-unnamed third Caribbean state located outside the ECCB, could lose all their US correspondent banking relationships, in response to what is an obvious effort to evade American banking best practices compliance programs. Perhaps American regulators, such as FinCEN and OFAC, now under new leadership, might choose to mete out sanctions, and even civil penalties.

Add to the mix what responses we might see from the global financial services industry to what can only be regarded as new and emerging threats due to what will become a regional Caribbean payments sector not prepared to meet the challenges of cross-border operations, and in dire need of professional assistance to function efficiently. Finally, linking this Caribbean structure to the African payments system, could expose it to AML/CFT threats that sector is still grappling with.

Will this create a financial hornets' next which is initially unmanageable, requiring external intervention or even abrupt termination? We cannot say, but we will be watching.
