At least it made the local news. When "Mr. 10%" was caught at MIA trying to leave with $1,000,000 cash (his commission on the never installed Paraquita Bay sewer treatment plant) there was never even a whisper in the local news.

Mr 10% is now represented as a great leader. Sad the government has been so corrupt for years and spent the money that should have been used for sewers, roads, schools etc. never can I rmember when any government offical has been brought to task for their misgivings.

An article in this morning’s New York Times has more detail. It says that Fahie met with the CI on April 7 and “The source then gave Mr. Fahie $20,000 and said, “This is a good faith gift, to seal that we have an agreement.” The article also implies a broader conspiracy beyond the three people who have already been arrested.
Between this and the recent charter boat impoundings, the BVI has had a run of terrible PR. It’s a shame to see. The vast majority of the people and businesses deserve much better than this. I hope that all this and the impending COI report create a real turnaround.

Now it gets interesting..I'm hoping us ex Pats get belonger status..the UK has pushed for , at least British subjects, to have all the privileges of BVI Islanders..right to vote, work etc.Lets see how that goes down now!!! I had no idea the constitution stated 10 years for belonger status. Imagine the backlog they will need to clear if they actually implement that? I'm half way there. No other comment at this time....

Manpot. There will be no bail. Only detention until trial and then detention after the trail. I suspect he will die in prison. Overweigtht and so will the madam ports person. and her son. All will have long prison terms . And there will be more. Have not heard from the minister guy. Gone real quiet. He is toast.
