The auditor of a company, which the United States Department of Justice said was registered in Dominica, has pleaded guilty to a $670-million fraud scheme in the US.
In a press release yesterday the Department of Justice said Jorge Luis Castillo, 56, a resident of New Jersey and a citizen of Costa Rica was an outside auditor for Provident Capital Indemnity Ltd. (PCI). He pleaded guilty on Monday for his role in the scheme involving victims throughout the United States and abroad.
The release stated, “PCI was an insurance and reinsurance company registered in the Commonwealth of Dominica and doing business in Costa Rica. PCI sold financial guarantee bonds to companies selling life settlements, or securities backed by life settlements, to investors. These bonds were marketed to PCI’s clients as a way to alleviate the risk of insured beneficiaries living beyond their life expectancy. The clients, in turn, typically explained to their investors that the financial guarantee bonds ensured that the investors would receive their expected return on investment irrespective of whether the insured on the underlying life settlement lived beyond his or her life expectancy.”
The release stated that the guilty plea was announced today by U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Neil H. MacBride and Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division.
According to the release McBride said, “Mr. Castillo used his position as a CPA to give PCI an air of legitimacy that provided their clients the peace of mind to invest millions. Auditors stand as a gatekeeper to fraud, and we are aggressively pursuing those who abuse their position to facilitate the fraud rather than take steps to put a stop to it. I want to commend the outstanding work of the Virginia Securities and Financial Fraud Task Force for detecting and disrupting this massive, ongoing international fraud before the scheme victimized even more investors.”
The release stated, “From 2004 through 2010, PCI sold approximately $670 million of bonds to life settlement investment companies located in various countries, including the United States, the Netherlands, Germany and Canada. PCI’s clients, in turn, sold investment offerings backed by PCI’s bonds to thousands of investors around the world. Purchasers of PCI’s bonds were allegedly required to make up-front payments of six to 11 percent of the underlying settlement as “premium” payments to PCI before the company would issue the bonds.”
This is not the first time and may not be the last. Those as this man who plan to open a business in Dominica or any West Indian island for that matter should be properly investigated prior to allowing them in the country. They should first have to apply from outside the country to the government of the island and only after investigation if accepted should they be allowed entry and to open a business.
Too many use the islands, the vulnerability of the government and nationals as their scapegoat to perform illegal business. They think that they will never be caught. Consider Sandford.
Frankly I do not trust some of those people. There is a lot of fraud in the world and some of them will go elsewhere and open a business only to continue their fraudulent practices unsuspectingly. This one did not get away from the U.S. government.
Even though they invest in Dominica, why are they given a DA passport and immediately at that. There should be a grace period as 5 years also for them and proof of credibility prior to being a DA passport. The passports should not be sold or given away to them. Those islands welcome investments for economic and employment reasons.
The government of those islands as DA must wake up and question whether those prospective business owners are credible and that their businesses are legitimate ones. Diligent research work would help. As the saying, “Take time to do good” which will benefit the country.
The government should be careful not to allow Dominica to get a bad reputation which in the long run will ruin it and also the reputation of any government present or future. Should this occur, Dominica and nationals may suffer permanently.
haha do dominicans really care about any kind of everyday issue or accountabilty or to hell with what happen we dear we…just bring on de doe Skero we love you till death..
thats the culture on the island dominica im afraid all the citizens have completely lost their ability to think of whats right and wrong…there isnt any insitutions or grouping on the island who can impact of change or direction or hault in my view..
its pretty much a lost caribbean island already think its way to late to save it..
the US state Department sooner or later will place the BIG “X” on Dominica thats a fact!
I have been scammed by a company which is registered in the Commonwealth of Dominica. I have asked for help from the Justice Department to the Police and no will is helping me.
I hope one day Dominicans will not be asking themselves,”what have I done to the these foreigneers who have come down to take over my country.”
Every day you all are hearing and seeing evidence of how corrupt people have infiltrated our island and Gov’t and yet we are still seating on our hands???!!
When will Dominicans wake up and ask their representatives the serious questions??
i would love to know the date of when it was registered in dominica.the people who put there monies are the ones left to suffer.
magician skerro will compensate them.
I know u think its funny. Don’t u think WHICHEVER party that’s in power, has the obligation to do due diligence when a person or company applies to explore our shores? I mean who got our backs?
This is an international fraud contrived by very cunning people. It happens every day all over the world. Look at the level of banking fraud in the USA that has brought the world to its knees. No matter how vigilant we are it will happen again. The human mind is ingenious when it comes to creating and perpertrating such frauds!
Dominica and Dominicans should not be surprised by all these revelations!!!
The seeds were planted even before 1995. It started under the Freedom Party government with the Economic Citizenship programme.
The natural progression was for the offshore industry to have followed. Our financial wizard under UWP introduced the offshore legislation. This was the response to the USA challenge to our bananas some years earlier and thing look very promising where jobs were concerned.
With these two activities – sale of passports and offshore activities Dominica was hoping to be like Antigua!!!
But we were always saying that Antigua government under the birds were operating differently from us and we even had prominent Dominicans that were very close to the birds – one when he came back to Dominica under UWP went to jail within 6 years after coming back to Dominica. He was already under surveillance by the US in Antigua. A minister delivered him unknowingly. Dominica’s reputation took a serious stain and was blacklisted.
Why?
The combination of economic citizenship and offshore activities is really designed to help individuals and companies to evade the payment of legitimate taxes in the countries that they operate.
Thus US companies can continue to operate in the US and serve US citizens but can register their headquarters in an offshore jurisdiction like Dominica and even have their own offshore bank, offshore insurance, offshore trust, and other offshore activities and pay no tax to the US treasury!!!
But the US and Europe has the handle holding when it comes to banking in the world and that is where they have held us by the balls.
All banks in Dominica and the Caribbean are nothing without a bank holding their foreign currency in the USA or any other Big country in the world and the USA and Europe will not allow any of the local banks have a branch of their banks in the USA or Europe.
And that is where you and me have to now declare any funds above 10,000.00 dollars. You must fill out forms and give details of your source.
People let us think and make the conclusions to these questions.
All computer, banking and telephone traffic from Dominica and the Caribbean is routed to the USA and Europe and they see and hear all of our activities.
This is a game we cannot win
Well since our passpport went up forsale D/A became like a magnet to frauduelent investors
And also teach them that they must not steal, lie or cheat.
WHAT HAVE I DONE?. TO PAY SUCH COST.AT MERCILESS CLAWS. OF MY OWN BROTHERS. AM I NOT YOUR COMPLEXION? OR EVEN A MAN.WITH WOOLY HAIR.LIKE THOSE OF YOUR HEAD.WITH DARK EYES. AND TEETH GLITTERING WHITE. THE PM IS OUR BROTHER WE LOVE U PM.
What you going on about?!
I and some of my colleagues have read this about four times each between us and we still don’t get what it is you are trying to say! lol
Before you write to forums be sure and have a grasp of what it is you want to talk about and don’t confuse issues.
DOMINICANS TEACH THE CHILDREN TO LOVE EACH OTHER.
There is alot more to come…sit back and hot tight…..
People, did you all forget that we live in a global village?
Financial product companies can be registered anywhere in the world.
This was a reinsurance company. Why didn’t Dominica know? Common, Dominica does not have the resources to determine these. How long did it take the US to find out?
Stop acting like these things dont happen all over the world.
I am happy these stories are easily available on this website. Thanks Dominicanewsonline.com for trying to get us out of the bubble we live in.
I can’t believe someone compares a tangible property registration to a Financial product business registration.
Do you think we are all fools in Dominica? You are trying to say that a tangible property registration is different from registering a Financial product and I agree with you. However, when registering a car in Dominica, you must bring proof of purchase before they register it for you. Also, to register a piece of property you must take it to a lawyer who will take time to ensure that all is legally well before they submit an application to the registry. When that is done the registry will delay it further just to ensure that what they are registering is not stolen. We go through this hassle as Dominicans living in Dominica. How then could a person who is not a Dominican, and does not reside in Dominica just come to register a Financial product in Dominica, especially when that business is opperating in a foreign land?
What is even more alarming is when I see you all are still trying to defend that nonesense. Shame, shame, shame on you all!
In this case, either Dominica is in some kind of mess again or Dominica is so backwards that many people in the western world don’t even know that there is a Dominica. No wonder when I’m in the USA or somewhere and people ask me where I’m from, I say Dominica. The next words from their mouth is “oh, you speak spanish”? I have to be saying, “not Dominican Republic”.

Very interesting quote. Don’t u think?
@ ADMIN:
I think if you do some research you will find the error that Jorge (pronounced hor-hay) Luis Castillo was born in Dominican Republic and not Dominica.
Even the USDoJ (US Dept. of Justice) doesn’t seem to know the difference.
Because it’s on the internet doesn’t mean it’s true.
One Love
Wishful thinking, I an’I, but the story remains correct as written. Provident Capital Indemnity (PCI) Insurance IS registered in Roseau, Commonwealth of Dominica.
Who are these people, and how do they come up with those excuses…..Do you get paid for these outrageous nonesense?…..So you are telling me that the United States Dept. of Justice do not know the difference between Dominican Republic and The Commonwealth of Dominica?…..
You know what’s troubling to me?, it’s the sad fact that some people will believe you……Pathetic and despicable……..
Well I suppose that the charges are a mistake as well, right?…………….Unbelievable….
Sad and unfortunate case of the blind leading the blind. They all will eventually fall in the ditch.
Profound Peace…..and…..All the very best to all.
REBEL!!!.
Keep them ignorant and misinformed,we have by the nuts and crotches. But if they get educated and wise, we are finished.
All the best……
REBEL!!!.
did u see anything saying he was bon in dominica? READ READ READ READ
Ah, but why Dominica name comes up in so much mess theses days…..that is what we should begin to question.
It’s because of poor and corrupt leadership.
stop it people………..reon is right on this one…..the man(AUDITOR) fooled a lot of people
To all my Dominican people,everytime i read the news then the comments it makes me wonder why our people here always jump up and blame the government for everything,that is not fair at all even if some people think that the government is conducting corrupted practices, it still dont mean that everything has to be blamed on the government.in terms of the present story, a campany can be open anywhere and have operation in other countries so there is nothing wrong with that , the only thing is that with like this one they can do a lot of damage it our island. the other thing is we are always asking for foreign investors well this can be a result of so call foreign investors.
Not surprising at all….What are the odds that this individual has a Dominica passport in his possession?…
People,this is no joke, this is very,very serious stuff…Dominica is slowly becoming a cesspool for all sorts of illegal activities and fraud. And it is all coming to fruition.
Now you understand the term “rogue state”?
What are the odds that the Govt. knew nothing about this man,or his company?..Remember it is registered right here in “Little Dominica” eh….
But I guess we are going to blame somebody else…Oh no,it is they who are spreading false rumors,trying to bring down the Govt.
Well I will tell you something,this Govt. is going to bring down its own self….because there are lots more where this came from…trust me.
Now that this can of worms has been opened, the United States Govt. is going to be relentless.Trust me,I know them….Look out!
When ever “The Rebel” writes on here,he always writes credible and accurate information to try to educate,inform, and to warn. But most never took heed….
As I said many,many times before..I am not anti Govt., I am just pro Country.
I look at facts. I put things in their proper perspectives,and make rational assessments based upon facts..and I implore you do do likewise…..
It is clearly obvious,that those in authority, put political interest before the interests of the People…..
Wake up,wise up and stand up.
Sorry,I must leave now,but you take care, and be steadfast and exercise much prudence.
Peace Profound….and …All the best to all
One Love….
UPTOWN REBEL!!!.
You should be happy the government is going to bring down itself; then you and the other haters of Dominica will inherit the monster you and your cohaters are creating. Be careful what you wish for. You may get it!!!! Karma is a hell of a thing!!
Boy George , let me tell you something, you need to be a bit more original…..Try leading for once and do less following..
Hatred for Dominica?….the Land of my birth?..Nah! I don’t think so…..Since when does standing up for justice, and speaking out against what is morally wrong. Defending the poor and unfortunate, asking for transparency in Govt. and crying down excessive greed by those in authority, be classified as hater of Countdy?..
If my opinions differs from those of the Govt.,or some of their so called supporters, I hate my Country?
Is it called Democracy?…
Are you drunk from your own ignorance, staggering in stupidity and wallowing in your own vomit?.
We did not create the monster; you did….. we are only trying to slay it….before it destroy our beloved Country.
Now know your place….Put your tail between your hind legs, go back to your kernell , and go bark at someone else for your bone…….
All the best to you…..
REBEL!!!.
@ REBEL..with a cause; Man if you were close I would give you the biggest hug. Nicely put.
YES rebel, sharp and precise, what I call a verbal slaying….NICE!!!!
This has been an extensive investigation to the point of finding one person guilty in committing mail and wire fraud. The person convicted made particular mention of those he conspired with to make his scheme possible. While there is mention that the company was registered in the Commonwealth of Dominica no one from Dominica has been implicated or has been considered to be persons of interest for their involved in this fraudulent scheme. However typical Dominicans are already making unsubstantiated claims about the government involvement in this fraudulent scheme. This is precisely why Skerrit has taken the stance of suing the people responsible for making false claims about him and the government, it’s like ‘monkey see monkey do”. Time to put monkey at ease!
I WONDER WHO GOT $25000.00 US A MONTH TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY? HMMMMM, THANK GOD IS NOT MY COUSIN LENNOX DAT SAY!!!!!
Come on people. Go to the link and read carefully for yourselves.
“According to a statement of facts filed with Castillo’s plea agreement, PCI was an insurance and reinsurance company registered in the Commonwealth of Dominica and doing business in Costa Rica.”
dont worry pm we love you
like conchon love labu
I have to say, that Skerrit must be doing something very good for black people, and Dominica on a whole, because, the effort to take him down is so great. Why the desperation people. All the dirt all you shoveling at my homeland Dominica, does not make me want to support all you.
We will just use he dirt to step on and rise higher. So continue getting all you dirt, eep digging, until all yo fall in the same hole all you digging for Dominica. Is not Skerrit that will fall in the hole is those digging it, so be ware.
Your comment is dirt.. Go and eat it!
justice be served to you..ou toe sort
Why are some automatically linking the PM to this? Where does it mention him.
I’ve Googled the company and the only registered address I found was in the heart of the financial hub in London, England. Is there more than one Provident Capital Indemnity Ltd. The only link to Dominica was a c/o address in Virgin Lane,Roseau (yes a gentlemans name was mentioned, but look it up just like I did).
Yes there has been so many scandals, but lets be rational here, is the PM linked to all of them. Some might say ‘yes’, but people be honest, can/should the man know every move/phone call all Civil Servants make.
There are issues we should get answers to from the PM. Yes he should have an enquiry to find out why Dominica is linked with PCI.
how come a company can regester in dominica and have it office in some other country?do this company pay gouvernment taxes,instead of of the gouvernment asking dr thompson for dommage they should ask that company to pay it to for bring dominica name in the gutter
Weh papa Bondieu, pas Dominique encore.
Kor nou ni say kor sa nou ka tapay.
Moi ani hope say Dominican Republic avec pas Dominique.
I watchin’ still!!!
No suprise there. The stories gonna keep coming. They are desperate. Anything for power even though it means dragging our country down in the mud. What a shame!
Those in authority are the ones abusing their powers to drag the country down! Open ur eyes!
progress, are you ok? Are your mental faculties functioning? Who it is that is desperate? Who is so power hungry to the point that they don’t mind dragging down the coutry? Which country are you talking about?
Forget about who made this information available, do you know that they reported something that actually happened in the US and Luis Castillo pleaded guilty to those fraud charges against him?
Don’t tell me you so blind that you missed out on this. Did you not see the names of the attorneys that read the ple guilt in Virginia? You think these attorneys are hungry for power in Dominica?
The people that don’t care about dragging the name of Dominica down in the mud are those local attorneys who registered this scams and government officials including our elected men who placed the seal or stamp of the Commonwealth of Dominica on their mess.
It’s time for you to wake up and wash your face because you seem to have lassie in you eyes.
so i’m guessing that u think the opposition put out this story to right??? smh…..
Ok people stop losing it. Calm yourselves. Aren’t foreign companies registered in the US, Britain, Germany, Barbados, India and China?
So if a foreign company registers in one of those countries and the company commits fraud is the US or France where it is registered corrupt?
This is a valid point but what needs to be asked is, how long was this company registered? If so, why is it the US that found this out? Also, was it known that this company was fraudulent however no one chose to speak out against it?
you it is that have lost it. Is it possible to register a car in Dominica when the car is operating overseas? Can you register a piece of property in Dominica and the property is in Barbados? So to, how could a man register his thing in DA and have it running in Coast Rica? Are you that naive!
In light of all what has been happening in Dominica at this time, registering this scam here is just the icing on the cake my friend. Wait until you hear the name of the attorney that registered it as well as others who played a vital party in the registration.
Yes One can register a piece of property and have it running elsewhere, why are so many ships registered in Liberia, Phillipines,Malta, Luxembourgh,and the list goes.but people like you who are always looking to tarnish the name of the country you CLAIM to love rush to cite rediculous example to justify your folly.Stop your HATING
It’s our mess we’re talking about! U.S.A., U.K. etc. have their own responsibility. I’m only concerned about ours.
Claudius Anthony, registering a ship in another country is quite different from registering a financial scam simply because the purpose for which a ship is used is different from a scam.
Also, I try to tarnish the name of my beloved country? My name does not appear on the list of passport sale which will eventually prevent us from getting a visa to visit the USA, Canada, Europe, and other countries of the world. I never sold our passports, I did not sell the Bird Island, my name was not called with Gadafi and I do not have a Diplomatic passport. I am simply trying to restore our lost image as Dominicans but day by day with people like you being so blind, I realize we will be lost for good.
Wait until the US release their information concerning this business and when you will hear of the names that will be called, people like you will have to try to move very close to a hospital because yore heart will trouble you for fear. Just wait my friend and you will see who are the real friends of Dominica.
Amen, the other countries do not need handout to stand on their own
tell me how can a company regester in dominica and it office is in a next country
It works much like the Ship Registry.
That’s actually fairly normal.
Very simple havent you heard of Multi National Corporations.Where have you been all these years under a rock.GET A LIFE
Shut the hell you blind fool, later will be greater. just a matter of time
its called going offshore….read and educate….the industry does exist!
What next. When is it going to end. London Bridge is falling down.
I did a little research it says dominica but is wich one WEST INDIES OR REPUBLIC it does say he was born in dominica but the last name dont fit our dominica castillo thats y i keep sayn stop waite do a little research befor u all look like fools ADMIN could u clarify this for us please.
ADMIN: Didn’t you see the link at the bottom of the story?
real possie I from possie myself and you shaming me boy. Go back and read the story again and you will see “The Commonwealth of Dominica” and that means our Dominica and not Dominican Republic.
Where did you read that mr. Castllo was born in Dominica? Please take your own advise and read before you make a fool of yourself.
ye ye i missed that on dno went on the va page it said dominica then i went back over dno page i saw what i missed i stand corrected am not ashame to say i missed somthing.
How do we benift from all this registered companies . Is it that only those lawyers cronies that profit from these cladistine companies. Does the financial report include revenues from this companies. All these things begs for responsible citizens to start questioning government irrespective of party affiliations. It is time to ask the elected officials to put the cards All the cards on the table. We want an audit of passport transactions – All Passports not some passports. Instead of asking for evidence why not ask the government to give an account of our royalties – not Skerro, Eddison , Tony, Alick or Judith’s but Dominica’s property.
Since the CPA claim that he filed false accounting records then the account records in the registrar and income tax office for the company would also be false. Since the company is registered in D/ca it have to file records, who have the balls in D/ca to investigate it? i waiting…..
This time Thompson Fountain is not the one dirtying the name of Dominica and they made sure they put that the company was registered in the Commonwealth of Dominica so we understand that it is not the Dominican Republic.
Dominica is like a live cricket game now with Tony and Alick being the standing umpires. Since this ball is pitched on the center stump and hit the batsman in line, let me make an appeal to umpires Alick and Tony to hear their verdict this time…umpire? umpire? Is he out this time because remember Thompson Fountain is not the bowler this time it is an attorney Neil H MacBride and Lanny A Breuer. Are you going to refer this one Tony and Alick?
Look daba in DA!
good point sir!
i want to see if they still goin blame Thompson
Dominica is the Vegas of the Eastern Caribbean- any thing goes. Are we surprised when we witness Blaire court change hands from one owner to another. The second owner have no idea when and under what conditions he acquired the company. When all these corrupt practices had been flagged we called the messengers all kinds of names now the time of reckoning is at hand note that the old messenger is npot the one making the revelations. Truth will rise at all times even when scum seem to be floating.
There is a treasure trove of scandal coming down the pipe line my people of Dominica. Just stay on the beat- there will come a time when they can no longer lie and cover up the corruption. I hope the people in the cabinet with any bit conscience left take the six O’clock train out of town.
This registered company – We would like to know about it; the revenue it generated, who signed the company and who is or was the representative? I hope those DLP idiots wont ask for evidence.
Boy I doe believe that, uncle Tony is a good and honest man, and papa skerro will never let that happen, not in Dominica , is de fellas around skerro that greedy so.Thompson skerro want to speak with you ,behind tony’s back.
Admin: they are still trying to clarify whether it’s the Commonwealth of Dominica or Dominican Republic. If you google, you will notice that it said CAstillo was born in Dominica…. that’s where the disparity seems to be.
Let us get this clarified before we bash Dominica Please!
Yow Yow..” According to a statement of facts filed with Castillo’s plea agreement, PCI was an insurance and reinsurance company registered in the Commonwealth of Dominica
and doing business in Costa Rica.”
Where he was born is irrelevant, the FACT is like there are a minority of Dominicans registering these shady companies and lawyers taking these people money to register companies in Dominica while doing business elsewhere.
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT PAPER SAID “THE COMMONWEALTH OF DOMINICA”
I don’t think so. Virgin Lane, Roseau, Dominica does not seem like a Dominican Republic address to me. Find the order and read for yourself. There is more to come.
Where did you see that? I saw a resident of New Jersey
This is not justification to bash Dominica
However, the release does refer to Commonwealth of Dominica.
From http://www.ssb.state.tx.us/Enforcement/files/1647.pdf
The Staff of the Enforcement Division of the Texas State Securities Board has presented evidence sufficient for the Securities
Commissioner to find that:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Provident Capital Indemnity, Ltd (“Respondent PCI”) maintains last known
addresses at Dessarrollos Comerciales Ronim, S.A., San Rafael-Heredia, Costa
Rica and P.O. Boxes 189-2000 and 2000, San Jose, Costa Rica, and
Respondent PCI can be contacted c/o Michael Bruney, Virgin Lane 12, Roseau,
St. George, Dominica
yow yow, maybe he has a Dominican passport to and they probably changed his information. But the justice department made it clear that(1)this individual is a resident of New Jersey (2) a citizen of Coasta Rica and (3) his business was registered in the commonwealth of Dominica.
All other questions you have may very well be answered when the can of worms is finally opened.
Its an International Business Company people! It is only registered here. Do some reading all island do IBC’s!!!!!!
What does that have to do with the Government? the Act was created under the opposition in 1996-1997. Many amendments have been made to the act since then.
Wkileaks you calling this “microsopic stuff”, to be shaken off. Remember, is microscopic sdtuff that give you big disease!
You people on here with your negative comments are small thinkers. The company was registered in Dominica but was operating out of Costa Rica. That is all.
Are you so naive to expect that all companies registered the world over are always doing things the right way?
Remember Allen Stanford?
What about Stock Generation?
What About Enron, Worldcom, Bear Sterns and the list can go on and on.
It does not take much to register a company in a lot of countries.
Stupid say stupid things, most of the time.
I am not a labor supporter. I have seen a number of things done by this present administration that I just cannot support. But criticizing Skeritt must be seen to be valid and unbiased. With the passport issue there is some credence to the blame levied at the PM but I don’t see how he could be blamed for this particular issue. Criminals setup fraudulent companies all over the world, especially right here in the US and places like London. Should we also tie these criminals to the leaders of these countries? It’s with this; I urge Dominicans to be smart and be constructive and sensible in criticizing the PM and not be carried away with everything that pops up. All that does is to delegitimize the valid critic of the PM…
To those marked down my comment can you explain? Explain how and why the PM is to be held responsible for this??
PM and minister of finance, read between the lines, all the dirt will be dust underneath the carpet
Hey, I marked you up
Most of those who marked you down hardly read and their political Bias will not allow them to understand when they do read.
They are generally narrow minde:
They don’t believe that criticism needs to be valid and unbiased.
They aren’t smart or sensible.
And If you are not slamming the person that the are against or supporting the person whom they support, then “THUMBS DOWN”
Boy look a corrupt country!
GOD DELIVER US FROM CORRUPTION…! Amen.
He did when he got rid of the UWP. Praises!
BAU…nothing to scream about
If Allan Sanford didn’t give Antigua a bad eye…what the heck???….lol
You people think small
We would like to think big if and only if there were vissible benifits from all these litle suspicious operations.if there are any benifts WIKILEAK please let us know. At least the Sandford operation revealed tangible benifits.
WIKILEAK -it seems like you went into hybernation or you were operating under another name.I hope one day you will seek forgiveness for your blatant biasness.You suffer from the plague in Portmouth seek help.
You are so stupid, its laughable. So if Ross Univeristy does some tax fraud in the states, all od a sudden Dominica is corrupt and illegal.
Small minds stay for small people..I love me some Antiguans/Jamaicans and Lucians and Trin and BIM…they don’t get their pants wet for some little nonsensical stuff.
Garcon, one day all you will start to thing large and consider microscopis stuff like that as dust on your shoulder and just shake it off.
THINK BIG TO GROW BIG…According to SHAQ…TWISM…THE WORLD IS MINE
Oh, I was operating as Eric and 1979 and sometime I did 1979 Lives or I would do Mouth of the South and there was one time I was Sprags John, the next leader of the opposition
This is not anything new. There are hundreds of fraudulent companies & universities registered in Dominica. All you have to do is a google search of “8 Copt Hall Dominica”. You will get pages and pages of companies registered in Dominica. Most of them are Scams, some are involved in online pornography. Something just does not seem right to me. I would like to know if this was the intention of our Government and who is responsible for monitoring these activities.
Go and hide your face in the sand.
De child mother registering!!…….heYyyyyyyyy, making more money than any degree holder eh!!! Woyyyyy mi rooO roooO
Skerrit need to sue Thompson is he that causing all that. Wickedness!! Look at how Dominica making fame. Is never true, is lie. is anti-skerrit, anti-labour..where’s Tony on this one
hahaha to register a company then some lawyer must be involved… question is which lawyer firm facilitates such… so this is where the politics coming in cause is ‘one set’ that in them big deals dere…. jamaica is known for crime… at least dominica is known for making/taking money lol… i think we need to invest more in computer technology to have our bright brains rolling… who knows we may take over nigeria… see how all that brightness have nigeria so rich… lol…. in the next 50 years nigeria will be an economic power… ask china why they hug up to them so…. anyway back to the topic…. wow wow… they will say ‘oh someone leaking bad news’… someone cannot leak bad news… if is that then u all indirectly accusing d.n.o…. if u do bad then u reap bad…if u do good u’ll reap good….
Dominica will soon be declared as the most CORRUPT country on Earth! OH my GOD!
Boy fire burning in every little niche in Dominica. Who did the due diligence and who made the big bucks on the crooked company. Birds of a feather flock together.
The US government also know about the Russian mafia , the cruise that was foiled by the hurricane. Did we ever wonder why someone was so persistent about going on a cruise while the hurricane was about to hit the island. Guess what – the cross the floor crook was the one who introduced the Russian mafia and he to was suppose to be going on the cruise. Tell them deny that. DNO I did not call any names.
It was also about right around the time threaten to release offshore bank account information when they threaten to fire him. That is why an uneducated PW person is leading the charge at GIS.
Once a country is corrupt, criminals will find where it is, and visit it to commit criminal acts…DOMINICA IS CORRUPT TO THE BONE…WHAT A SHAME..!

It’s getting hot in here! The defenders will soon scatter!
True Patriots will never cease to DEFEND DOMINICA
DUE DILIGENCE
You took the words out of my mouth!! Which Dominican lawyer icorporated that company here?
Mr Michael Bruney . . . I think
ck http://www.ssb.state.tx.us/Enforcement/files/1647.pdf
We have alot more to hear about. This one is tied somehow to a lawyer, but there is a young lady that is registering companies left right and center in Roseau….
Now can Skerrit give us an update on this offshore business in Dominica?
This thing is getting ridiculous now….
Oh dear, it couldn’t possibly be a lawyer in Virgin Lane with the same phone # as Provident Capital Indemnity Ltd,or could it? look for this company on http://www.Manta.com, Better still for $5.00 you can look in the company’s file at the Registry.
Skerrit and Toney…The MIGHTY USA is focussing on DOMINICA…I am so happy…Once money is involved, once bobol is involved, Dominica name is involved…WE NEED LEADERSHIP IN DOMINICA…The present one will lead us to HELL….
i hope we can serve dem a lawsuit, eh toney!
haha you think is a national issue to shut people mouth
DING!!! DONG!!!
Somebody must be specially devoted and paid to unearthing any “bad” news that contain the name or word Dominica. It is amazing how these are unearth on a daily basis now.
One wonders too whatis the motive for these daily diatribes. What is expected of the government or Dominican people?. I seem to forget. That is a calculated attempt to tell the people of Dominica what has been alleged all along. Skerrit is corrupt and deals/frequent corrupt people. That is all there is to these daily “corruption salvos”.
Dominica, Oh Dominica, thou has been the subject of brutish hearts. Lets go “HATE DOMINICA CREW”.
You are too politically blinded.. this global village in which we live can offer refuge and open fire on whomever they want. Don’t worry about who is bringing on the news,worry about when, why, where, how and the lasting implications. Worry about what these things are foretelling and their validity.Sometimes when it rains, it pours. Since this is the season of sharing and caring and labour like freebies santa must be dishing out early treats
They wouln’t be able to unearth anything if it wasn’t there in the first place. Grow up!
There’s no motive; if you are internet savvy all you have to do is have one of the many search engines notify you of any articles referencing the name DOMINICA.
seems you worry about ur place in the trough
here we go again! DOMINICA….alas papa!
Dr Fontaine please return home to lead us… Dominicans are bleeding…Dominica is the headquarters for bobol in the world..WE NEED LEADERSHIP IN THIS COUNTRY….dr fontaine come and lead us please..!
Isn’t it what all this is all about? Time will tell…..
You mean come and lead you???? If you leaderless, the majority of us aren’t. You guys can go on searching the web and all nook and cranny of the earth for anything bad that has the name Dominica associated to it to try and involve Skerrit, but this aint gonna help any of your political aspirations and intent. The hardwork of the DLP is on the ground for all (except for those of you with blue and green clothes tied over your eyes).
What did Dr. Fontaine say when he was offered the job of Financial Secretary? Do I understand that he said that the salary for the position is simply not attractive and is really an affront to his qualifiactions and experience? Is It true?
So the position of Financial Controller does not have enough money, although it pays better than the salary of the Prime Mimister. Now you asking him to come and take a smaller salry.
Thos pyramid schemes exist everywhere. I lost money in a pyramid scheme when UWP was in government here. Remember the man who established an office here hired a number of sales agent? Some of the agents operated ot of the building which now houses DHL (Let it be clear. Whitchurch had nothing to do with that). Bosso, the Prison Officer Wallo etc went about promoting the scheme and taking people’s money as investments. See what Sandford do to Antigua. Should the government be hung for Sandford’s criminal activities? Go, Dominica Go!
But who is that ‘us’ you really speaking of? Better you speak on your own behalf.
Go and hide yourself, and your shameless face in the bush as usual.Don’t stick your burnt nose here! OK! DOWN WITH CORRUPT LEADERS !
@ Aunty hate …This comment cannot be to a rank opportunist like you…NO wonder you are asked to go hide your face somewhere in the forest… It’s for honest upright people. You don’t fit there.
Dr Fountaine my big toe. You people on here with your negative comments are small thinkers. The company was registered in Dominica but was operating out of Costa Rica. That is all.
Are you so naive to expect that all companies registered the world over are always doing things the right way?
Remember Allen Stanford?
What about Stock Generation?
What About Enron, Worldcom, Bear Sterns and the list can go on and on.
It does not take much to register a company in a lot of countries.
Stupid say stupid things, most of the time.
so why do you think it was registered here. should the government register all businesses that come here for registry and ask no questions, do no due diligent but just ask them for a fee and register them and its ok.. why do you think no other country wants to register them besides antigua and dominica..
THAT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE CORRUPT BUSINESSES INVOLVED IN FRAUD AND MOST TIMES PAY HEFTY SUMS TO MEN IN POSITION TO APPROVE THE BUSINESS REGISTRATION..
all corrupt men have a network of contact so the word on t he street is GO TO DOMINICA AND SEE “MISTER X” AND HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU for A FEE.
