Conflict of Interest?
The information printed below came into CIF as a comment from one of our readers. As the Territories struggle with issues of conflict of interest and situational ethics, we thought it was worth an extra look. It is printed here as it was submitted to CIF.
We will continue to follow this development.

St. Thomas CZM panel OKs permit for East End condo project By LYNN FREEHILL Wednesday, August 29th 2007
ST. THOMAS – After its developers set aside land as habitat for the endangered Virgin Islands tree boa and agreed to take other environmental protection measures, an upscale condominium complex can proceed along East End coastline.
Dolphin Cove, a 104-unit project off Ridge Road in Estate Nazareth, unanimously received permit approval Tuesday from the St. Thomas Coastal Zone Management Committee.
Plans call for the vacation-home units, which will range between $800,000 and $2.5 million in price, to be spread among 32 duplex buildings, four single-family bungalows and four three-story condominium buildings.
A tennis court, three swimming pools, a reverse osmosis plant, a wastewater treatment plant, 147 parking spaces and a 7,000-square-foot community center also have been designed for the 22 1/2-acre site.
Project representatives raised a post to the height that the building would stand, proving that it would be shorter than existing trees there, project manager MANFRED SOEFFING said.
Following the committee’s vote, project designer Robert deJongh said the developers are proud of their plans and agreeable to complying with CZM’s environmental-protection requirements.

I am not who you think I am and that’s good, because I am pleased that you are confused about me. This to show you don’t know everything! Poor Sen. Craig your getting blame for being me. Sorry, but I am not who you think I am. This is so laughable you so want blood that is easy to blame anyone who comes up against you. Sen. James you take your time and get all the evidence and leave no stone unturned we are going to get them, but patience and precision is the key. Commissioner’s of PWD, P&P, and DPNR all served or are serving time, so will our Governor and any proven corrupted officials, but we will do it right and justly.
Crucian to me Heart, your writing has changed. You are no longer trying to sound like we Crucians. You named most of the “Bandits” except Senate President Louis P. Hill.
You must really thing people are stupid on this site.
Heart, grow up. Crying over spill milk isn’t going to change anything.
All,
It looks like Senators Hill & Dowe might have pulled off another switch-a-rue. The legislature web site Calendar is showing Department of Public Works for tomorrow, Monday, August 10, 2009, at 9 am.
http://www.legvi.org/LEGVI2008/calendar/LegislativeCalendar.pdf
The source is not reporting DPW for August 10, 2009.
http://stthomassource.com/content/news/local-government/2009/08/09/weeks-legislative-calendar
Jimmie O’Bryan will sort it all out in the morning. If this is another switch-a-rue it will be overly obvious that these two Senators are trying to delay Sen N. James from moving forward on his hearings on Gov de Jongh.
Switch-A-Fool, DPW is scheduled for Monday 08-24-2009. Stop misinforming people in an attempt to create confusion. LEPC, PSC and the Taxicab Commision are on the docket for 08-10-2009.
Modified Reprint:
There THEY GO AGAIN trying to RE-DIRECT ATTENTION.
THE ISSUE OF MAFOLIEGATE, where over $400,000.00 of the people’s money has been INVESTED into PRIVATE PROPERTY belonging to the governor SIMPLY WILL NOT GO AWAY.
THEIR ATTEMPT TO RE-DIRECT ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE GOVERNOR and on to Donastorg or “anyone else” is like trying to re-direct a crowd’s attention away from a large fire coming from a big building and on to a flicker of light coming from a lighter.
Do THEY think the crowd is that stupid?
The crowd is watching and waiting to see how long it takes the FEDERAL “Firefighters” INVESTIGATORS to extinguish that fire at Mafoliegate.
Eyes, the truth and links to truth is leaving “THEM” with no other options but to call CIF bloggers names like “Switch-A-Fool”. The legislative calendar does say DPW for Aug 10. Sen Hill needs to update his calendar so that HE does not create confusion….or is it really HIS plan to create confusion to “RE-DIRECT ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE GOVERNOR”?
Like you said Eyes, “Do THEY think the crowd is that stupid?”

Our latest JACKASS of The Week Award goes to none other than, the Senator from Water Island, Louis Patrick Hill. Senator Hill wins the increasingly popular award thanks to his rhetoric about reducing his salary. Senator Hill knows damn well that any changes to the senators’ salaries will not affect the 28th Legislature. Any such changes will be effective upon the upcoming 29th Legislature and beyond. All indications are that the Senator from Water Island has positioned himself well, for life after carrying out the demonic wishes of Governor Dewolf.

T is that why de Wolf does keeping saying he don’t know to everything or he didn’t know. He look like he might have stayed back a few times during his early child hood. Now the VI have to pay the ultimate price for electing bandits like him. Like Hill and Dowe wasn’t bad enough. Why did the VI get cursed with the likes of these pirates…
CAUGHT ON VIDEO
28th United States Virgin Islands Senate President Louis P. Hill caught on video, saying in his own words the dos and don’ts of public service. World citizens can now witness for themselves what a hypocrite of a con man these United States Virgin Islands must contend with until he resigns.
The Virgin Islands community remains hopeful that Senator Patrick S. Sprauve is not in any way involved with Senator Hill’s conflicts of interest corruption scandals.
This community awaits a full public explanation from Senator Patrick S. Sprauve as to his position on the Senate President conflicts of interest corruption scandals waged against the people of the United States Virgin Islands.

I ain’t worried about anonymous, we all know who is the town crier. You been bawling from the beginig.
I ain’t worried about anonymous, we all know who is the town crier. You been bawling from the beginning.
You know what they say, “birds of a feather flock together”, and isn’t this group of bandits flocking together? The confusion thickens with the wreak of corruption permeating through the legislative walls. I heard the Governor said he will just repay the money if it really becomes an issue but he is confident with his connections nothing will happen. Well I guess we will see.
Is it possible to get the prestigious DEMMANSAY Jackass of the Week twice in a row?
Well the bandit president, Louis P. Hill, currently the DEMMANSAY Jackass of Week (3) has certainly justified why he is deserving of week 4. President Bandit Hill said on the floor of the senate on August 10, 2009, that he does not GAMBLE. Has this bandit president totally lost his mind?
Top Dog Bandit President Louis Patrick Hill unequivocally took a gamble at trying to pull the wool over all Virgin Islanders eyes. His endeavors in the Commonwealth of Dominica were not only a gamble but were also a conflict of interest executed for his own personal financial gains on the backs of all Virgin Islanders.
Does this bandit president think he is so intelligent that he can outsmart the Feds and VI community by going onto the floor of the senate to continue his damage control propaganda campaign? How low will he go before resigning?
This is one jackass that will be seen in handcuff.

“The antibribery provisions of the FCPA make it unlawful to offer, promise, or make a corrupt payment to a foreign official, a foreign political party, a party official, a candidate for public office, or to an intermediary to influence an act or decision made in his or its official capacity, to induce him or it to do or omit to do any act in order, or to obtain an improper advantage to obtain or retain business. Individuals and firms may also be prosecuted if they order, authorize, or assist someone else to violate the antibribery provisions or if they conspire to violate those provisions. The FCPA potentially applies to any individual, firm, officer, director, employee, or agent of a firm and any stockholder acting on behalf of a firm.”
“Issuers and domestic concerns may be held liable under the FCPA under either territorial or nationality jurisdiction principles. For acts taken within the territory of the United States, issuers and domestic concerns are liable if they take an act in furtherance of a corrupt payment to a foreign official using the U.S. mails or other means or instrumentalities of interstate commerce. See §§ 78dd-1(a), 78dd-2(a). For acts taken outside the United States, U.S. issuers and domestic concerns are liable if they take any act in furtherance of a corrupt payment, even if the offer, promise, or payment is accomplished without any conduct within U.S. territory. See §§ 78dd-1(g), 78dd-2(i). In addition, U.S. parent corporations may be held liable for the acts of their foreign subsidiaries where they authorized, directed, or controlled the activity in question, as can U.S. citizens or residents, themselves “domestic concerns,” who were employed by or acting on behalf of such foreign-incorporated subsidiaries.”
